ExtendScript in PPro : Clip-names

Question

Using ExtendScript, I am trying to access the clip-names of a track, and I can't figure out how to do this.
Here is what I am trying:
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0]
Result: [object TrackItem]
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].name
Result: undefined
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].reflect.properties
Result: duration,start,end,type,mediaType,__proto__
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].__proto__.reflect.properties
Result: __proto__,__count__,__class__,reflect
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].__proto__.__proto__.reflect.properties
app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].reflect.methods
Result: bind,unbind,setTimeout
What am I missing?
The context is:
We have a process in the studio, in which we use a track with clips representing the shot-names and their duration on the timeline.
We use this information later to insert the duration of the shots to our pipeline's database, as well as extract audio files for each shot, to be inserted to 3dsmax for lip-sync purposes.
Our current process involves exporting an EDL and then processing it externally.
This has some issues we want to avoid, so I want to have this process happen within a custom-tool inside PPro.

Answer 1

There's no supported API that will provide those clip names, today.
You could save out the FCP XML for that sequence, and parse that.
Please write me directly [ b b b at adobe dot com], with an overview of what you'd like to accomplish, and I can provide better guidance.
