Compound Actions performance

I am creating a plugin for Premiere, where I am going through an audiotrack, fetch the clips name and in and out points, to then apply the in and out points to a clipProjectItem and insert them into the timeline at the precise start.

For background info: it is a precut podcast and I simply need to “sync” the video, with all its cuts, to the timeline. The audiofile is not the audio from the video, they just start at the same time.

The logic works fine, however, since it is always exactly one clipProjectItem, I can not apply all in and outs and then insert all clips within one compound action. I would overwrite the same in and out all the time.
Therefore, I have plenty of actions run and practically flood the protocol, since we are talking about roughly 1000 audio clips, meaning roughly 1000 ins and outs actions and 1000 inserting actions.

Sometimes it runs through, more often premiere pro is crashing.
Any advice on improving the performance? Something, that I oversee?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Cryptical,

Can you provide a test plugin, a .prproj, and (important!) steps to follow that reliably reproduce the issue? If so, please send ‘em to me. [I DM’d you my adobe.com email address.]
