# Cosmo Sequence Report Action

The **Cosmo Sequence Report Action** node exports a JSON report listing all assets used within a sequence.

This node requires that the corresponding project has previously been indexed using **Advanced Indexing** in the [Cosmo Project File Index Action](/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/nodes/actions/cosmo-16/cosmo-project-file-index-action.md). Without advanced indexing, the detailed timeline information needed for the report is not available and the node will fail.

#### Input Parameters

**Sequence (Asset) ID**\
ID of the sequence for which the report should be generated.\
Typically retrieved from [{job.assetId}](/helmut4-releases/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/job-related-wildcards-32/job-assetid.md) (for example after using **Cosmo Get Project Sequences Action**).

**Destination File**\
Full path and filename of the JSON report.

**If New File Exists**\
Defines how an existing file is handled:

* **APPEND** — adds new data to the existing file
* **INCREMENT\_NAME** — creates a new file with an incremented filename
* **DELETE\_EXISTING** — overwrites the existing file

#### Output

The node creates a JSON report containing all media references used in the sequence.

General information included:

* sequence name
* project name
* sequence asset ID

Detailed media reference information:

* referenced assets
* in/out timecodes of the clip
* in/out timecodes within the sequence
* track number
* video frame reference (video assets)
* audio sample reference (audio assets)

#### Behavior

* Reads sequence timeline data from the Cosmo database
* Requires prior advanced indexing of the project
* Can be used iteratively with **Cosmo Get Project Sequences Action**
* Supports asynchronous execution

If the sequence ID is invalid or the project was not indexed in advanced mode, the node fails.

#### Typical Workflow

1. Run **Cosmo Project File Index Action** with *Advanced Indexing* enabled
2. Iterate sequences using **Cosmo Get Project Sequences Action**
3. Execute this node for each sequence
4. Export a per-sequence usage report

#### Practical Use Cases

* compliance documentation
* broadcast delivery validation
* timeline analysis
* rights and usage verification
* reconstruction of edit decisions

In practical terms:\
This node answers the question **“What exactly is inside this timeline?”** — not just which clips exist in the project, but precisely where and how they are used in the edit.
