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

Thanks greg, i think you have misunderstood my post, i might not have clarified the issue here

I know how to replace individual png files one at a time, but I have many placeholder png files with different names in my timeline (project was handed over from someone else who is unable to help) that need to be replaced with the same png file

For example, the below files are in my timeline for the same length of time;
PLACEHOLDER1.png
PLACEHOLDER2.png
PLACEHOLDER3.png
and i want to replace all of them with the same source file;
SOURCEFILE1.png

I know how to replace the footage one at a time, the issue is that i have 28 instances where i need to replace the footage in 5 videos a day for a 25 day content rollout ((28*5)*25= 3,500 files to be replaced) and i’d rather not do it all one at a time

Cheers

I’ve got a similar question, but mine is replacing multiple placeholder images with the same image, so it appears in multiple sequences

I’m working on a series of workout videos for a client and the pieces all have the same graphics template, so all i need to do is go duplicate the project file for each day’s videos and replace footage and titles (in the form of png images)

So i have 7 videos for a 25 day cycle with roughly 60 edits per video, but about 40 of those edits need to be replaced with the same source png, is there a way to do a batch replacement of certain placeholders? this would greatly reduce my editing time

EXERCISE_01_LV01.png and EXERCISE_01_LV02.png need to be replaced with the same png, so do the second exercises in each level, so on, i have been doing these one at a time so far because i cant highlight multiple files and do a batch replace as far as i can tell, is this resolvable?
