Question

Where did ExtendScript go? How do we develop now?

I'm looking to write scripts for Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.  I've written these before but it's been about a year since I last did any coding for CC products.  I've noticed that there is no longer an extend script toolkit included with Created Cloud. And the download button for Adobes ExtendScript webpage does not work.  The only place I was able to get a copy of ExtendScript was from the Adobe Archives.

 

I haven't tested it out yet, but I assume the archived software will get the job done for now.  Moving forward how are we supposed to create scripts for Adobe Applications?

    Open your Creative Cloud Desktop Apps preferences, select Apps tab and check Show old Applications.
    You will find ESTK in your Apps list.
    However, ESTK is a 32bit app and no longer works in Catalina.

      Now they moved to a plugin for VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Adobe.extendscript-debug

      The debugging experience is much better, I am just missing the other functions of ESTK, like model overview and such ... well surely on the internet you should be able to find an old version for that
