Is it possible to get any data related to the poster frame of a clip?

At least get the time of the poster frame so I can extract the image from source monitor.

There is no API to determine the poster frame of a projectItem.

 

Could you describe the entire workflow you're trying to support, from the user's perspective?

Pretty sure the poster frame for video files is the first frame unless you're scrubbing the thumnail.

User imports some media and sets poster frames for those imported media.
He then puts those media on the sequnce. In extendscript, I loop through the video clips of the sequence to extract the "poster frame" (currently only the first frame of the clip) and I plan to upload those to the server.

Ahhh. 

Sorry, I can't think of a good workaround, for the absence of a projectItem.getPosterFrame() API...
