Issue:
Unable to use "Link Clips" in ResolveScript.

Request:
Enable the function "MenuBar > Clip > Link Clips" in scripts.
I would like to see the following code.

Code: Select all

local projectManager = resolve:GetProjectManager()
local project = projectManager:GetCurrentProject()
local timeline = project:GetCurrentTimeline()
--[[
    The above are the implemented functions
    The following are unimplemented (desired) functions
]]
--[[
    Timeline:GetCurrentVideoItem(trackIndex) --> TimelineItem
    Timeline:GetCurrentAudioItem(trackIndex) --> TimelineItem
    Timeline:Link([timelineItems]) --> Bool
    Timeline:UnLink([timelineItems]) --> Bool
]]
local linkItems = {
    timeline:GetCurrentVideoItem(1),
    timeline:GetCurrentVideoItem(2),
    timeline:GetCurrentAudioItem(1),
    timeline:GetCurrentAudioItem(2),
}
timeline:Link(linkItems)
timeline:UnLink(linkItems)


I think the undocumented SetClipsLinked(table items, bool link) still works.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried that right away, and it worked fine on version 17.4.3
Here is the code.

Code: Select all

local projectManager = resolve:GetProjectManager()
local project = projectManager:GetCurrentProject()
local timeline = project:GetCurrentTimeline()
timeline:SetClipsLinked({
    timeline:GetItemListInTrack("video", 1)[1],
    timeline:GetItemListInTrack("audio", 1)[1]
}, true)


Thank you once again!
