How to trim clips based on imported timestamps?

Hey there! I have a self-made application that creates Jason timestamps. How can I import those timestamps(I can make them in any format), and a raw footage clip, and then have the clip automatically trimmed based on the imported timestamps?

You'll want to build a CEP panel that can open and parse JSON, and then use that data to insert clips along your timeline. Check out the CEP samples to see how to get started (https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/PProPanel) and reference the online docs for specifics (http://ppro.aenhancers.com/). Once you've got a handle on that, check out the insertClip() function (http://ppro.aenhancers.com/6%20-%20Track%20object/track.html?highlight=insert)
