Editing with multicam via script

Hi I'm writing a small script that cuts together clips on a sequence via extendscript. I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this with multicam -- as I'd like to ensure that I'm editing with a multicam clip so that I have access to all of the angles. Is this feasible and how?

 

Or - worst case scenario - is there a workaround (e.g. cut with the primary clip, and then option replace with a multicam sequence later. I tried dragging and dropping with the option key,  but it doesn't seem like the original timecodes of the edit are retained).

As you've found, a multicam sequence can be cut into another sequence. There is no supported API for getting/setting the currently active camera, within a multicam sequence.

Hi - thank you for the quick response!  That is good to know about setting the active camera within the multicam sequence. I need to clarify my original question though:

 

Can I definitively cut a multicam clip into a sequence using APIs.  For some reason I haven't been been able to determine how to best script this.

Multicam sequences are projectItems, like any other you'd pass to the .insert() function:
