Adobe is working on a variety of AI features for Premiere Pro. 🙂 There is no ExtendScript API around Transcripts. ExtendScript Toolkit was deprecated many years ago (for both AE and PPro). You can use VSCode to execute ExtendScript in either application, without requiring a CEP extension from which to do so. PPro provides no way to add menu items for executing specific ExtendScript files, as AE does.

Yes, we can reproduce the behavior without Syncaila; this does not imply that the problem has an easy fix. 🙂

Allowing that pasting would break the 'XREF' (cross reference) from the source project.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 24, 2025

Confirmed, exportAsMediaDirect() is functioning correctly in 25.2.

> 2. Take the XML file and plop it right back into that project file. It will duplicate all files. There's a setting buried in the Media Browser "hamburger" menu, which may help: Disable "Allow Duplicate Media during Project Import"...any improvement?

Matt's (correct) guidance is pointing to the system-wide /Library, not a specific User's ~/Library. 🙂

We recommend that you contact Insta360; only they can provide guidance on their plugin versions, and upgrade recommendations.

> I can't find a real solution for this? This, from above, solved the issue for other users: "Premiere needs to be installed first and then BMD software second or it won't see the Application and install the appropriate drivers." From your description, it sounds like you don't have BMD's Transmit plugin for PPro installed.

I'm not sure you can; if you're trying to re-instantiate a trackItem from a bunch of JSON passed in from JavaScript, there's no guarantee that there will still be a corresponding trackItem available. Recommendation: Work with ExtendScript objects, within ExtendScript.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 21, 2025

Mister Horse has written both a CEP extension, and a C++-based Importer plugin. If you're just starting out, we recommend skipping CEP, and instead starting with PPro's UXP-based extensibility, available in beta builds. UXP is replacing CEP across all Adobe point products. Sample UXP plugins: https://github.com/AdobeDocs/uxp-premiere-pro-samples/tree/main Docs: https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/uxp/ PPro UXP Dev Forum (staffed be my team): https://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/c/uxp-for-premiere-pro/105 What would you like your plugin to actually do?

> I was wondering if it is possible to pass from extendscript context object to CEP context and then > pass it back to extendscript context? Anything passed between JavaScript and ExtendScript has to be flatted to a string, to make it across the boundary. >maybe stringifing the object via JSON and parsing it back? Yep.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 17, 2025

Confirming: You're saying that PPro deleted the contents of your 5 media files, but did not delete the files themselves? Or did you mean that the .prproj file was 0kb?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 16, 2025

Hangs forever, or hangs for a long time?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 11, 2025

"with a modification to the timeline name" --> How did you modify it? Can you provide a project, and steps to follow which reliably reproduce the issue?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 10, 2025

CreateSubSequence works correctly in PProPanel, returning a sequence. There's no such function as 'getVideoTracks'; just sequence.videoTracks. There is no ExtendScript API for querying text layers; the closest thing available = PProPanel shows how to apply .mogrts and modify their parameters.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 10, 2025

>when I click on the sample test buttons they aret't working. That's bizarre; no other developer has reported that behavior. PProPanel has been working fine, for years. Perhaps start with a fresh copy of PProPanel?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 08, 2025

> Do you know anything on this? As I've said, there is no supported API that allows this. We can't comment on implementation specifics of other partners' solutions.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 07, 2025

> I can use the abilities of CEP, extendscript and the PPRO API right. Yes; the PPro API is ExtendScript-based, those aren't distinct capabilities.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 07, 2025

There is no supported Trimming API, but you can change the sequence in/out points of trackItems, and move them >CEP uses extendscript... Close! CEP = Chromium instances which load (JavaScript-based) web pages. CEP uses the CSInterface to send ExtendScript to PPro's ExtendScript (yes, ES3) interpreter. We understand, it can seem complex. Recommended starting approach is as above: Set up your dev environment so you can (use VSCode to) set breakpoints in PProPanel's ExtendScript, experiment with the sample.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 06, 2025

You can try! 🙂 That sample shows off everything CEP can do; it will not show you anything that PPro's API can do.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 06, 2025

>Are there any other newer samples available No; PProPanel remains the right starting point. The code snippets you provided attempts to use unsupported QE DOM calls, without enabling QE DOM. > I also found the code complex to understand. It's large for a starter panel. PProPanel demonstrates how to do basically everything. 🙂 The complexity is appropriate. >There is no proper error message, it just says EvalScript Error and I am unable to Debug it. Use Visual Studio Code (and the ExtendScript Debugger VSCode extension) to set breakpoints in PProPanel's ExtendScript, load the panel, and step through its code in the debugger.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 05, 2025

If UXP won't yet work, then PProPanel is the right starting point. > I am unable to run extendscript in jsx file from the main.js file. Where does your implementation, depart from PProPanel's? > it just says EvalScript Error and I am unable to Debug it. What prevents you from setting breakpoints, and debugging it?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 05, 2025

There is no API that will allow your code to forcibly change the current tool.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 04, 2025

Sorry, our team has zero experience with build environments, other than the supported, recommended build environment. 🙂 Confirming: The same built (non-notarized) plugin does load in 25.1, but does not load in 25.2? If so, please send me the plugin.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 04, 2025

If you build the SDK samples, do they load correctly, on that same system?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 04, 2025

If you turn down gain, waveform height should decrease; this is 100% accurate.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 04, 2025

Grok is 100% wrong, above. Keep in mind; neither Grok nor ChatGPT have ever successfully created ANY plugins for PPro. 🙂 >I'd appreciate it if you could give me a hint on what to do next. What is it you're trying to write a plugin, to actually do?

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 03, 2025

> i)Clear learning resources or tutorials for CEP and the Premiere Pro API. > ii)Guidance on how to properly integrate CEP with Premiere Pro. The PProPanel sample is the right starting point. PPro's ExtendScript API docs are here. >iii)Insights into whether CEP is still the best approach or if UXP has improved enough to be a viable alternative. You don't mention when you last checked, but if UXP already supports what you're trying to do (or is close), we definitely recommend using UXP.

Bruce Bullis · ‎Apr 03, 2025

You have the full SDK; we have no idea what "AI" means, when it asks for that.
