## **[UXP] createSequenceWithPresetPath() is not a function - How to create sequence with custom preset?**

**Premiere Pro Version:** 25.6.3 (also tested on Beta 26.0)  
**Platform:** Windows  
**Project Template:** react-starter

### **Problem:**

I’m trying to create a sequence using a custom preset (.sqpreset), but I’m facing two different issues depending on which method I use:

### **Attempt 1 - Using `createSequence()` with `presetPath`:**

javascript

```auto
const project = app.project;
const presetPath = "C:/path/to/my/preset.sqpreset";

try {
    const sequence = await project.createSequence("MySequence", presetPath);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error); // Error: Invalid preset format
}

```

**Result:** Invalid preset format error when pointing to the `.sqpreset` file

### **Attempt 2 - Using `createSequenceWithPresetPath()` (as per documentation):**

According to the [official documentation](https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/uxp/ppro_reference/classes/project/#createsequence), the `presetPath` parameter is deprecated and we should use `createSequenceWithPresetPath()` instead:

javascript

```auto
const project = app.project;
const presetPath = "C:/path/to/my/preset.sqpreset";

try {
    const sequence = await project.createSequenceWithPresetPath(
        "MySequence", 
        presetPath
    );
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error); // createSequenceWithPresetPath is not a function
}

```

**Result:** `TypeError: createSequenceWithPresetPath is not a function`

### **Questions:**

1. Has the `createSequenceWithPresetPath()` method actually been implemented, or is it still pending?

2. Is there any alternative way to create sequences with custom presets via UXP?

3. Does the `.sqpreset` file path need to follow any specific structure or format?

### **What I’ve already tried:**

- ✅ Verified that the `.sqpreset` file exists and is valid (works normally through Premiere UI)

- ✅ Tested with both absolute and relative paths

- ✅ Checked UXP API version in manifest.json

- ✅ Tested on both stable release (25.6.3) and beta (26.0)

- ✅ Using standard react-starter template

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

It’s _implemented,_ but not (yet) _exposed_. Sorry about that. We’re tracking this non-exposure as DVATA-711, and will keep you informed of our progress.
