Premiere Pro CS6 Mac render watching script
This is clumsy, not elegant, and may be only marginally useful (or just confusing to others) but I cobbled together some scripts I found to watch renders and then send a text notifcation, so I thought I’d share.
I’m definitely not a skilled coder so use at your own risk, and I can’t really support it. My version basically just adds support to monitor Premiere and removes the need to use the Apple Mail.app. Note that it’s setup to monitor Premiere, not Media Encoder, (but that would be a trivial change you could make.)
I used pieces from this: https://www.thecurrentcut.com/2010/02/10/avid-render-notification-app/#more-16
and this: https://www.hamsoftengineering.com/codeSharing/pythonEmail/pythonEmail.html (plus a couple extra lines)
Resulting python and applescript are attached.Personally I would only ever use this to send to one address, so I hard coded all the details in the script rather than ask for them in dialogue boxes — so you’ll have to open in AS editor to enter your details.
– You’ll have to chmod the python script and enter the correct path to it, per the link above.
– You’ll have to enter your own SMTP server with user/pass (like gmail for instance)
– You can hardcode the path or keep both scripts in the same dir.
– Works on my end, ML 10.8.2, PPro CS6. Haven’t tested any other apps or OS.Hope it’s useful to someone!
Learning. Always.
