How to insert unwrapped multicam clips onto the timeline?

I am attempting to use the javascript SDK to insert a sequence that contains multicams onto the timeline. I want it to be "unnested", in other words not wrapped up in a sequence but rather as individual clips. When I run my code below, it inserts the sequence with the multicam wrapped within it. Is there a way to fix this?

I have code that looks like the following ( modelled after the PPRoPanel plugin )

var seq = app.project.activeSequence;
var vTrack1 = seq.videoTracks[0];
projectItem.setInPoint(instance.start, AUDIO_AND_VIDEO);
projectItem.setOutPoint(instance.end, AUDIO_AND_VIDEO);
vTrack1.overwriteClip(projectItem, now.seconds);

[I've already responded to direct mail, but for those following along]

I've recommended identifying the PPro prefs that do enable the insertion correctly (when using the UI), forcibly setting them, and seeing whether that improves behavior.

This is how multi-camera source sequences behave in the latest version of Premiere.

If you want to insert the clips from the multi-camera source sequence, you need to untick Insert or Overwrite Sequences as Nests or Individuals Clips and also click the Timeline context menu and tick Multi-Camera follows Nest Setting.

Thanks! I think our issue is that we want to work from the javascript SDK. We are able to get it working fine with the buttons you mentioned; but when we use the SDK it doesnt seem to respect those options. Any thoughts on that?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the SDK.
