How can we differentiate subclip items from normal original media files in Premiere project

[emam-dev]

Hi All,

Is there a way to differentiate the subclip items in a project from the normal original/master media file items?

We have checked the projectItem(app.project.rootItem.items[x]) properties and functions, but cannot find anything.

Thanks and Regards,

I think you just found it; check for the presence of private project metadata.

Hi Bruce,

For both master clips and subclips we get simlar private project metadata from app.project.rootItem.children[x].getProjectMetadata().

One difference we can consistantly find is the presense of following subclip related properties only in subclip metadata.

<premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipStart>
<premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipEnd>
<premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipDuration>

We are planning to relay on any of these properties to identlfy the clip as a subclip?

Thanks

It would seem that the presence of those properties indicates you have a sub-clip.
