Pass information between After Effects and Premiere Extensions?

Hey all,

 

I'm creating a workflow extension for my company and wanted to know if there's any way to pass information between AE and Premiere? I want to basically auto-import all currently selected video files into After effects and parse them into folders in a specific way.

 

I've been able to get all the information on Premieres end, just trying to determine if it's possible to send stuff between the two.

 

Thanks for any input you may have,

Duncan

I'm using Bridgetalk() for information sent between AE and Indesign for my script. Have you tried Bridgetalk()?

well, i can't think of a direct way via some API, but you can always write some instaructions file from premier into a pre-defined location, and have AE check that location periodically on idle hook, and process the instrucitons once the file is there.
