Some of the APIs I’d like to see in PPRO UXP. I would need these to port existing CEP panels to UXP.

1. Add New Tracks
2. Get/Set Clip Label Color
3. Get/Set Track Targeted
4. Get/Set Marker Color

Hi Remco,

There was never anything like “Add New Track” in the supported ExtendScript API; that was part of the QE DOM. Even the QE DOM didn’t contain “Get/Set Track Targeted”, so we’re wondering how the absence of that functionality would be a blocker, to porting existing panels…?

Here is my perspective.

#### Add New Track

I use it in [Grave Robber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLhSn8tNnHU). When un-nesting nested sequences, Grave Robber accounts for possible clip conflict. If during un-nest existing clips will be overwritten, Grave Robber will create new tracks.

#### Get/Set Track Targeted

I presume these are the methods that @remco is talking about:  
[track.isTargeted()](https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/9efca02ea88ad32a8c22571f5ffe2407ae732cd8/PProPanel/jsx/PPRO/Premiere.jsx#L2383)  
[track.setTargeted()](https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/9efca02ea88ad32a8c22571f5ffe2407ae732cd8/PProPanel/jsx/PPRO/Premiere.jsx#L2389)

They are part of ExtendScript API. I use them in my extensions extensively, to allow users to target tracks where extension operations will take place.
