Scripting in Premiere Pro – Where to start

[Frank Decoup]

Hey guys,

I am having the same problem here.
Did you figure out any solutions yet?

Thank you in advance,
Frank

Hi, Ryan.

I too was led to believe that Premiere Pro was scriptable when I saw it listed in the Target Application drop-down menu in ExtendScript Toolkit.

If you happen to come across or get access to resources on that, it’d be awesome if you could share.

Cheers.

The PProPanel sample is the place to start; it thoroughly exercises the PPro ExtendScript API:

Here’s “How to set up a panel dev system”:

I’m also looking for a beginners guide for scripting in PP (2018).
I unfortunately dont have any scripting experience apart from some pretty simple python coding.

I am specifically looking to have script that will replace multiple pieces of footage from a number of sequences with files from a server using a spreadsheet that provides correlating material.

Alternatively, a script that would allow me to do batch replacement footage would also be a huge help

I’ve got this on my to-do list, but have not yet looked very deeply into it.

Hi Taran,

I was watching your last mega-tutorial and that got me on a hunt for some extra info on scripting in Premiere… funny to find you on this thread with a great suggestion.

Appreciate your work!

Hi Ryan,

here is Watchtower, an extension I developed that I think is what you were talking about 3 years ago.

To develop it I used PProPanel example panel (Bruce Bullis posted link to it in the thread), adobe forum and a lot of googling.
