hi, is it possible to move a clip from a sequence to another sequence with the script? if not can you add this feature in backlog ? also it will be so useful if you add a possibility (refer to PPRO sample panel in github) to drag and drop project items.

thanks!

    If you have a clip in one sequence, you have all the information you'd need to duplicate that clip, in another sequence.

    Also, what drag and drop are you hoping for?

    Panels already support dragging _from_, but doing so is a terrible idea; PPro displays at least three different behaviors depending on where the drag ends, and the panel has no control over the behavior, nor any way of finding out what happened.

    We strongly recommend avoiding drag-n-drop from a panel, and using a "check boxes next to assets to select them, then click an 'Import' button" workflow, to bring in assets with maximum control.

    Hi,

    thanks for your reply, I think you didn't get what I mean,

    in premiere pro like below image there is an option in sequence timeline, when you turn on this option it will force premiere that when user drag a sequence from project panel and drop it in the timeline of another sequence, not to add sequence as a clip, so it will add sequence videoTrack clips to timeline.

    so in my html5 panel i have an IMPORT button, when user clicks on it will import a project (special sequence of that project) to current project, then it will add a clip from this sequence to current user sequence in timeline, but my problem is that i don't want to add that sequence as clip, there are 4 adjustment clips in that imported sequence, I just want to move those adjustment clips to current sequence in timeline. but i didn't find any function that can move or copy a clip o from one sequence to another sequence in Premiere Pro Scripting document.

    how can I do it with script? also, what do you mean dragging _from_? can you explain it? can i use that to virtualize drag and drop from project panel to timeline?

    thanks!

    can i also be part of this?

    I've asked that you be invited.

    can you explain a bit what is in the new API?

    The new API I mentioned would let you detect adjustment layers; nothing to do with moving a clip. However, other planned new APIs would enable you to create sub-sequences, which might enable the behavior for which you're asking.

    What's the entire workflow, you'd like to support? [Direct might be better; b b b at adobe dot com]


    thanks! emailed.
