getCanvasSequenceReorderSelection()v4.0.533

Returns the sequences to move when a timeline drag starts. Dragging a selected sequence moves the entire sequence selection. Dragging an unselected sequence moves only that sequence.

get-reorder-selection.ts
import {
  getCanvasSequenceReorderSelection,
  type CanvasSelectionItem,
} from '@remotion/sdk';

declare const draggedItem: Extract<CanvasSelectionItem, {type: 'sequence'}>;
declare const selectedItems: CanvasSelectionItem[];

const nodePathInfos = getCanvasSequenceReorderSelection({
  draggedItem,
  selectedItems,
});

The result follows the order of selectedItems. A source edit can sort the returned nodes by their JSX order. If the selection contains another item type, only draggedItem is returned.

Options​

draggedItem​

The sequence where the drag began.

selectedItems​

The current selection, such as controller.selection.getSnapshot().selectedItems.

Return value​

An array of SequenceNodePathInfo values to move.
