I don't understand your question. In order to clarify, could you restate your question(s) without the ambiguous word "clip"?

In PPro's API, there is no such thing as a "clip"; there are projectItems, and when a projectItem is inserted into a sequence, the result is a trackItem.

Yes sir, question is how to replace projectItems with another projectItem. projectItems can be replaced with by changing its source by using ProjectItem.changeMediaPath() method. The main question that i am asking is i have a projectItems, modified its in and out points using createSubClip method. Now i want another projectItem to be replaced(change media path of projectItems with reference to createdSubClip) with this newly created projectItem using createsSubClip which in reality it has no real path other than inside premiere pro.  Why this question because there are some Premiere pro project templates that uses projectItems in many trackItems inside. So i have ProjectItems but it is modified and that i want to replace with to another projectItem(subClip using createSubClip). Please help. Thanks you for your replay.

Creating subclips from a projectItem, does not modify the original projectItem; each subclip is a new projectItem.

Every trackItem refers to a projectItem; the trackItem's projectItem is writable; the API can change which projectItem a given trackItem refers to.

Highlight the new clip in the Project Panel and then Right click on the clip in the timeline and choose Replace with clip from bin.
