I don't think what you're trying to do is possible with any of the C++ Importer APIs; those enable developers to write support for file formats PPro does not already support..

If you are trying to import files that PPro can already understand, an HTML5 (JavaScript)-based panel is the right approach.

Here's the panel project:

Here's how to set up a panel development environment:

Is your video filetype/codec something that Premiere Pro doesn't natively support?  Or are you just trying to tell PPro to import a file from another program, something it already can support if you import it manually?

Hi Zac.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm trying to import a file from another program, something it already can support if I import it manually.

My final goal is when I press a button at another program, then PPro imports "c:\1.mp4" file to already opened project.

I have tried 'SDK_Custom_Import', 'SDK_File_Import' and 'Synth_Import' but it seems only 'Synth_Import' works.

When I try 'SDK_Custom_Import', it says imported something but nothing exist.

When I try 'SDK_File_Import', it affects only importing SDK file. (actually I don't know about SDK file format )

When I try 'Synth_Import', it seems import something but strange image (you may know what I'm telling you).

Now I'm starting from 'Synth_Import' but I feel like start from scratch.

Am I going to right way?
