Status Window while ExtendScript is running?

[mathiasf55381090]

Hi there,

is there any chance of letting the user know what my scripts are doing at the moment?

I'm writing a custom importer and in some cases it my take some seconds until you see the result. A "please wait"-Window or something would help... but I can't figure out how to open and close a new panel.

Thanks,

Mathias

If you have ExtendScript Toolkit installed, you should have a file named 'SnpCreateProgressBar.jsx'...give that a try.

Thanks, Bruce! I was not aware of these samples.

It works perfectly in AfterEffects, but trying to run this in Premiere results in an "Window does not have a constructor" error.

Any chance to do the same in PR?

Sorry, I ran SnpCreateProgressBar.jsx in ESTK.

I'll have a look, time permitting...

Bruce, I'm having the same difficulty figuring out how to create popup windows other than the simple Alert, Prompt, Confirm windows. It seems that Premiere Pro doesn't have a Windows Constructor the same way that After Effects does, is there another way to create custom popup windows in Premiere Pro?

Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but will look into it.

Using JavaScript (instead of ExtendScript), CEP panels can open other modal panels; see CEP HTML Test Extension.
