Automation Blocks - Restore View preset in AB script

Hi y'all,

 

Is there a way to trigger "restore view preset" via Automation Blocks or trigger a shortcut via Automation Blocks?

Unfortunately, I think this is not possible with Premiere Pro's scripting engine and hence also not with Automation Blocks.

So even with "execute code" I cannot trigger a shortcut?

Yes, I think menu commands can be executed in Ae, but not in Pr. And keyboard shortcuts cannot be executed in any of the hosts via scripting.
