An audio clip used in a sequence as a track item has a projectItem property that can be followed to get the project item, which allows getting other info such as the title and the media path for that clip. This is useful for CEP panels that use ExtendScript to analyze the sequence to gather details about the used clips.
But when the audio clip is changed by applying the Remix feature (from the Essential Sounds panel for example), then the track item loses reference to the original project item. So the CEP panel has no way to know if all the project items used in the sequence is properly accounted for (for example, uploaded to a server).
Can this be fixed or is there a workaround to get the projectItem corresponding to the remixed audio clip?

Can you provide step-by-step instructions that reliably reproduce the problem?

Hi Bruce,
Here are the steps along with some screenshots:
app.project.activeSequence.audioTracks[0].clips[0].projectItem

Interesting! As far as I know, this "remixed" audio clip in fact is a hidden sequence, which has recut audio clip inside. You can find it in app.project.sequences.
I guess since it is a hidden sequence, it doesn't have any projectItem associated with it (you don't see any new project item in project panel, right?)

There is no sequence found for it in app.project.sequences. The only sequence found there is the visible main sequence. As you can see in the second screenshot above, the project bin does not show any new item - just the audio clip and the main sequence.

Hm, probably it was cleaned up by Adobe 🙂 I had one user who reported such possibility.

As I mentioned above there is no project item in Project panel, so there is no projectItem associated with "remixed" audio clip.
