Adobe Premiere Scripting Guide

Question

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.

Answer 1

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 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
