How to import project and insert transition to timeline using extendscript?

[Dmitriy5FD0]

How can i import another project programmatically and insert needed transition to timeline?

Like in video below, but using extendscript

Actually they are not transitions but sequences made up from Adjustment layers filled with effects and overlays.

[DangerD5E05]

yes, so how to make that programmatically?))

Are you wanting to create your script by somebody? Learn Premiere's API by yourself...

[Dmitriy5FD0]

insertClip works a bit different than drag and drop, i'm already using it, but it doesn't work in this case...

By "make that programmatically", I think you mean "how to insert a sequence, into another sequence". 

PProPanel demonstrates both. 

Here's how to import a sequence from another project:

Here's how to insert a segment from a projectItem (in your case, sequence), into a sequence:

i can insert sequense to sequense, but it inserts only one track while Premiere when you drag and drop it inserts 2 tracks at once.

[Bruce Bullis]

I suspect the difference is in the track targeting state, at the time of insertion.

[Dmitriy5FD0]

when i drag and drop it shows 2 tracks no matter where i move it and it only inserts 2 tracks when "Insert and owerwrite..." button is enabled:

[Bruce Bullis]

What values are you passing in, for the audio and video track indices?

[Dmitriy5FD0]

seq.videoTracks[1].insertClip(getMediaByName('LensZoomIn'),10)

I use custom function to find media/sequence by name projectItems list

[Dmitriy5FD0 · Accepted solution]

As i understood "insert and overwrite sequences as nests" changes behaviour on how drag and drop works, is there any way to emulate that action using extendscript? Currently "insertClip" works like when that option is disabled...

[Dmitriy5FD0 · Accepted solution]

Is there any solution for that?

[Bruce Bullis]

There's no API to control that setting.

[Dmitriy5FD0]

This setting doesn't affect on 

seq.videoTracks[1].insertClip

So i don't need to control it.

I need to import another sequence same way as drag and drop, it's possible to achieve that?

[Bruce Bullis]

Without controlling that setting, no.

[Dmitriy5FD0]

I need to import it as on animation above or like on youtube video in initial post.
