Automating Multicam & Timecode-Based Editing in Premiere Pro via ExtendScript
I'm working on automating some methods or workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro using ExtendScript, particularly around multicam sequences and timecode-based editing.
I have a few specific questions I'm hoping someone can confirm are possible through scripting:
1. Multicam Timecode Synchronization: Is it possible to programmatically synchronize clips inside a multicam sequence using their embedded timecodes(e.g., "00:01:23:10") (instead of relying on audio sync)? If not directly, is there a known workaround?
2. Creating Markers Using Timecodes: Can markers be added at precise timecode positions (e.g., "00:01:23:10") on both:
Clip level (projectItem)
Sequence level (timeline track)
...without converting timecodes into seconds manually?
3. Setting In/Out Points via Timecode: Is there a way to set the inPoint and outPoint of a clip or a multicam clip based on timecode, rather than time in seconds or ticks?
Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
