Automation Blocks Create New Sequence - Sequence Presets

[Tom26472067d557]

Hello, 

I'm new to Automation Blocks and trying to get my head around the 'easier' things.

I've used the Import Footage and Create Sequence template from the example list. I've modified it to do 95% of what I need it to. However the final stage is to create a sequence using a specific template. At the moment, the sequence settings are based of the clips. I can see that there is a 'Sequence Preset' option but im not sure where this goes with the 'Import Footage and Create Sequence' template. Ive attached a screen shot of the block where I think it should go in.

I'm also noticing that the clips are not being placed down onto the timeline in clip number? Does the scripting only look at the first X clip numbers rather than the last few? I've attached a screen shot of 4 clips from the timeline to show you what I mean. 

Is there a way to change the way the clips are placed in the timeline? Is it possible to place them down based off timecode to create to sync map?

Hi,
if you want more control about creating the sequence and inserting the clips, you can first

- first create an empty sequence from a preset

- then loop over the clips you want to insert and insert them in the sequence one by one.

Also, if you want to have more control over the order, in which the clips are inserted, you can create a list of the project items you want to insert, then sort the list in whatever way you want and then loop over the sorted list to insert them in that order.
