Premiere SDK - programmatically move clip from one track to another

[swaye36415126]

How would I programmatically move a video clip from one track to another, in a way that preserves everything such as the effects etc?

There isn't any API that allows for that.

if i were to try and hack it with QE dom, is there a way?

specifically, i tried this 3 years ago - but im wondering if any internal functions have changed. to jog your memory, i actually had it working with QE, with everything except for effects - the issue was there wasnt a deep copy (or Clone()) method. i tried reflecting object and writing my own recursive deep copy but eventually gave up

has anything in the QE changed w.r.t. a function like that?

[Bruce Bullis]

No change.

This would be a very useful feature to have as I was hoping to create an extension that would automatically flatten my sequence to as few tracks as possible. 

Has this been added as a future feature request? If so, is there a way for us to track it online somewhere? Thank you!
