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

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)!

app.project.createNewSequence("nameOfTheSequence","xxx");

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

I've browsed the object explorer but it doesn't tell which parameters to use and so...
