Premiere Pro UXP DOM — ETA for programmatic “split/razor” on timeline+

Premiere Pro

Hi Adobe team,
I’m evaluating the Premiere Pro UXP DOM for timeline automation. In current Beta builds I can access require(‘premierepro’), Project.getActiveProject(), the active Sequence, and SequenceEditor actions like createRemoveItemsAction. However, I can’t find a way to programmatically split/razor track items at arbitrary times (or remove by an arbitrary time range).

Could you please clarify:

Is a programmatic split/razor API planned (e.g., a createSplitTrackItemAction, edit-range action, or equivalent)? If yes, what’s the ETA (target Beta build) and the plan for stable (GA) availability?

Is there a recommended workaround today from UXP DOM (e.g., time-selection + ripple delete, or callable menu commands)?

Any best practices for capability detection across Beta builds (reliable probes for require(‘premierepro’), SequenceEditor.getEditor, and method presence)?

Environment: Premiere Pro Beta 25.6.0.046 (Aug 29, 2025), OS: Windows.

Thanks!

Hi all,

There is no ‘razor tool’ API planned for the 1.0 release, which is prioritizing functional parity with the CEP+ExtendScript APIs (not including QE DOM).

We know there’s interest, and…As a rule, Adobe won’t speculate about dates for releases which haven’t been publicly announced.

Cathy’s release notes are the best source of info on pre-release SDK improvements.
