Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.ts:1808-1846 (handler)The main handler function that executes the tool. It constructs an ExtendScript that creates a multicam source from the provided camera files using the specified sync method, then creates a sequence from it, and executes it via the bridge.
private async createMulticamSequence(name: string, cameraFiles: string[], syncMethod: string): Promise<any> { const script = ` try { var multicamSource = app.project.createMulticamSource("${name}", [${cameraFiles.map(f => `"${f}"`).join(', ')}], "${syncMethod}"); if (!multicamSource) { JSON.stringify({ success: false, error: "Failed to create multicam source" }); return; } var sequence = app.project.createSequenceFromMulticamSource("${name}", multicamSource); if (!sequence) { JSON.stringify({ success: false, error: "Failed to create sequence from multicam source" }); return; } JSON.stringify({ success: true, message: "Multicam sequence created successfully", name: "${name}", sequenceId: sequence.sequenceID, cameraCount: ${cameraFiles.length}, syncMethod: "${syncMethod}" }); } catch (e) { JSON.stringify({ success: false, error: e.toString() }); } `; return await this.bridge.executeScript(script); } - src/tools/index.ts:352-358 (schema)Input schema using Zod for validating tool arguments: name (string), cameraFiles (array of strings), syncMethod (enum: timecode, audio, markers).
