ExtendScript to Copy predefined Audio Clips

[MrPingPong]

Hello All,

I'm working on a project that requres me to add a lot of sound clips to predefined points (markers).

I have a clip in sequence that has been changed from the projectItem as it has been cut up and effects have been added. It is a short sound effect that is being added in the sequence.

My trouble is that I cannot copy that item which already exists with all the made changes using ExtendScript.

Right now I copy and paste those files by hand, but I wonder if there's a way to copy that trackItem and paste it to the defined location (not the projectItem)

I'm using Premiere Pro 2023.

Windows 10

Thanks in advance

Let me know if more details are required

There is no ExtendScript API for cloning trackItems, with their effects and settings already applied.

Is there at least a workaround?

Maybe apply a loop to go through the properties of one and apply all of them to the other?

If effects cannot be changed, can at least the in/out points with duration be copied over?

I think you've described a decent workaround; creating new trackItems, based on the details of the original trackItems, seems like the best approach.
