Can I Use HTTPS Video Links in XML to Create a Sequence in Premiere Pro?

I’ve created an XML file to automate sequence creation in Premiere Pro, where I provided local file paths to video files within the <pathurl> tag. This worked as expected and successfully created the sequence.

 

Now, I want to know if it’s possible to use HTTPS video file links in the XML file instead of local file paths. Would Premiere Pro be able to recognize and work with HTTPS video links for sequence creation, or should I stick to local file paths?

No, this will not work. Premiere Pro is built around the concept of accessing media files from a file system. It can be local attached storage or a network volume, but it needs to be a file system that resolves to a file path.
