Hi, All.

I have a question in Premiere Pro SDK.

I'd like to make a Premiere Pro plugin and create a dialog that contains some inputs and buttons.

I implemented the function by Script and AEGP_ExecuteScript on After Effects SDK.

But I know Premiere Pro does not provide Script.

Is there any way for that?

Regards,

Anthonie.

That's what I managed to do in After Effects, And I was planning on using the "setup" button in premiere to prompt the dialog box. But, since I can't use AEGP_ExecuteScript() I'm struggling to find a way to actually create the form for the user to use.


Just in case anyone else comes across this thread looking for a solution, I ended up using a library called TinyFileDialog and it's worked almost perfectly for my use case. It's very lightweight and provides a couple of options for calling native OS windows.

Hi Anthonie,

Do you want to build a panel, or a certain type of plug-in?  Can you describe briefly what your extension should achieve?

Hi, Zac.

I'd like to develop a certain type of plug-in.

So, when the plug-in is applied to layer, I'd like to display a modal dialog that includes some input fields and buttons.

And if I put some value to inputs and click button,  the modal returns the values to plug-in.

I implemented the function by Script in After Effects plug-in.

But I am not sure if it is possible in Premiere Pro SDK.

Regards,

Anthonie.

Premiere Pro supports scripting.  Have you look at the resources here?:

For UI, you could provide input fields and buttons in an HTML5 panel.
