Explanation

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

  • Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle sets the item which is going to be moved as source
  • ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum(“Handles.OperationMode”, “move”) defines tis operation to be a move (can be “copy” as well)
  • Handles.CopyDestination does the copy/move job
  • Handles.ClearSelection clears the selection (the source handle)

Another way to set the source handle is using Handles.SetSourceHandle:

<step pause=“0.01”>Handles.SetSourceHandle(“PlaybackWindow”, 62)</step>

How to use it

This is not that much useful as stand-alone macro, however it might be a building block for a bigger macro.
