insertClip() - Insert only video or audio independently

[Cad81]

Hi!

I'm using this code to insert a nested sequence in the timeline:

app.project.sequences[index].videoTracks[index].insertClip(projectItem, time)

The problem is that this insert both video and audio, not only the video part. Is there a way to insert only video or audio independently?

Thanks!

Sorry, no. It's been requested, but that improvement is unlikely to be made, until we've moved to UXP (current target = 2nd half of 2022).

Thanks! Is there a known workaround to achieve this?

You can unlink the two trackItems, then delete the undesired audio trackItem; PProPanel shows how.

Thanks. And is possible to move clips on different tracks? with move() i can only offset them in time but only in the same track

No move yet; also likely to wait until UXP

As Bruce mentioned it is not possible, but there is a workaround for inserting only video clip.

Before insert, you will need to set projectItem's audio outPoint to 0, thus during insert only video will be inserted:

nest.projectItem.setOutPoint('0', 2); // second argument - setOutPoint for only audio

This doesn't work for inserting only audio clip sadly.

Ok, thank you!
