Hello, I have to write some scripts for Premiere. It will import, cut and set rendering. I can do it in after effects, because there is Adobe After Effects Scripting Guide for CS6.pdf , but I cant find anything similar for Premiere But scripting in premiere is possible. I can find some commands in Data Browser in ExtendScript Toolkit editor, but I dont know how can I use it. (Import, edit etc.) Is for Premiere any scripting manual ? If not, why? Scripting in Premiere is not official supported? Thanks.
yeah it took me half a day to find out that all the stuff is in the data browser
so that's what i found out yesterday:
you can add an array of files like this:
var myFiles = ["C:\\'theFilePath'\\File.mov", "C:\\'theFilePath'\\File2.mov", ...];
app.project.importFiles(myFiles);
and all files will be added to the project browser.
also you can add a sequence to the project like this:
app.project.createNewSequence("nameOfTheSequence","xxx");
I don't know which param I had to choose for the "xxx", but it wo

Yes I know that there is SDK forum, but it looks like more hardcore section for Plugin development. I need simply scripting. But without manual it is bad, if it doesnt exist.
Jim Simon:
I think that it is possible, I can send some commands to premiere from JSX scripts.

Hi CenekStrichel,
Since there is no scripting subforum, the Premiere Pro SDK subforum is a better place to ask about scripting at this time. I'll move your thread over.

Hello CenekStrichel,
how can you send commands to premiere with the JSX-scripts? I also need this way to code some plugins.
I just can't find a way to send the jsx code to premiere, 'cause there is no menuitem like in after effects/File-->Scripts.
Please help!
Best Regards
Manuel

create jsx file with:
#target premierepro
alert("Hello world");
save and run.
You can tell me, where can I find all commands Import videos, create sequences, add effects etc. I need composite all sequence from jsx. But without manual for using command it is bad

Woooow you saved my life I thought I had to code all the stuff i need in C/C++.
Yeah I know, I found a useful jsx-file called rd_GimmePropPath.jsx - this little script (including a GUI) can read all the propertys you need to call the text elements and stuff in after effects - maybe it can help to find something for premiere too.
In after effects it worked quite well I'm trying it now for premiere.
I also need to compose a full sequenz from jsx - including intro, effects, blending, outro and an after effects mov-file in between.
I let you know if I can find something useful in after effects I made it step by step maybe it will also work here.
thanks for your answer!

for(var key in app.project){
alert(key);
}
try this to get the propertys of the project, if you found something useful edit the collection where you are reading the propertys - found the child members of the items (app.project.rootItem.children)!

I don't know which param I had to choose for the "xxx", but it works if you set it empty.
I'm currently looking for adding the files to the sequence, but I have to try some stuff till i find it out.
Let me know if you find out something new

Hi there !
Is there still no documentation ?
I've got to do the same kind of job. (Create sequence, add clips,...)
I've browsed the object explorer but it doesn't tell which parameters to use and so...

It's been a long time since this thread, but has anybody figured out anything at all? I really want to get started scripting with Premiere but I am absolutely and totally lost. Any guides yet?
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
