Running a .jsx in Premiere outside of ExtendScript

[jportell25]

Has anyone figured out a way to run a script in Premiere outside of Extendscript?

I am trying to tie the file to a Keyboard Maestro or Applescript shortcut and it wont go through. I'm sure this is because Extendscript has its own processes to get it to link, but I'm wondering if anyone has developed a workaround?

If I figured out how to set up an HTML panel extension in premiere would a button even be able to run these scripts without extendscript?

The buttons in PProPanel, which are created and processed in JavaScript, use ExtendScript.

Are you hoping to avoid ExtendScript Toolkit, the separate application?

Yes Bruce. I am hoping to create a panel with a few buttons to run some simple scripts. This panel would need to be distributed throughout a small team, and we would like to stay away from needing team members to have Extendscript open.

I downloaded eclipse and have been trying to get panels to run in premiere, still have some figuring out to do, but wanted to make sure this idea would work before investing too much time into it. Do you know of any good resources for getting panels up and running in current versions of Premiere? Everything I am finding are for versions like CS5.5 or 6.

Terminology distinction: ExtendScript is a language. ExtendScript Toolkit is Adobe's application for running and debugging ExtendScript.

Panels are the best platform from which to run PPro ExtendScript.

I downloaded eclipse...

Sorry! Friends don't make friends run Eclipse. Those directions are quite old....

Yes! Just work through the steps in the PProPanel readme:
