Hi all,

not sure whether I´m doing something wrong or if this functions is just not working. But I can’t make createSetInPointAction work on ClipProjectItems:

```auto
async function testFunction() {
  var project = await ppro.Project.getActiveProject();
  var seq = await project.getActiveSequence();
  var selection = await seq.getSelection();
  var trackItems = await selection.getTrackItems();
  var firstItem = trackItems[0];
  var projItem = await firstItem.getProjectItem();
  var clipProjItem = await ppro.ClipProjectItem.cast(projItem);
  var ticktime = ppro.TickTime.createWithSeconds(1);
  try {
    project.lockedAccess(() => {
      project.executeTransaction((compoundAction) => {
        var setInPointAction = clipProjItem.createSetInPointAction(ticktime);
        compoundAction.addAction(setInPointAction);
      }, `Add Handles [1s]`);
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("Error setting in point:", error);
  }
}

```

Console logs:

```auto
Error setting in point: TypeError: t.ScriptingUtils.getMasterClipFromProjectItemSync(...).createSetInPointAction is not a function

```

If I apply this to my trackItem → `firstItem.createSetInPointAction(ticktime);`, it works just fine.

Am I blind somewhere or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Hi Jannis,

createSetInPointAction() works correctly in the premiere\_api sample; does that instance, work for you?

Hi,

createSetInPointAction() works fine for me on Sequences and ClipTrackItems. It is just not working on ClipProjectItems. Also the premiere\_api sample does not have an example of this specific case.

However, I found createSetInOutPointsAction(inPoint, outPoint) does work for ClipProjectItems, so I just started using this one for now. Maybe the documentation needs to be updated as it also lists [createSetInPointAction](https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/uxp/ppro_reference/classes/clipprojectitem/#createsetinpointaction) and [createSetOutPointAction](https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/uxp/ppro_reference/classes/clipprojectitem/#createsetoutpointaction) for ClipProjectItems (or these functions need to be checked?).

Thanks!
