Is there anyway to access all the footage used in project via the Premiere Pro API?

I'm working on an Adobe Premiere Pro panel and I need access to all the raw footage files involved in the project (not just the clips on the timeline).  I need to be able to perform operations on them.  Is there a way to access them with the SDK?  I've been looking over the documentation but I don't see a way.   

 

Thanks!

All media in the project is represented by projectItems; see PProPanel for numerous examples.

 

Note: Working from the raw media, rather than from the projectItems available through the API, is not at all recommended.

 

Any modifications made via PPro's interpret footage dialogs, audio mappings,  any spanned media (many  cameras start new files every 4gb), OP Atom or QuickTime reference movies, are guaranteed to give different results, accessed from the "raw" media.

 

What operations do you plan to perform?
