Is it possible to disable/skip the Link Previews dialog?

Hi!

Is it possible to automatically skip this dialog when I open a project? Maybe an option in preferences or some way to close it programmatically via a script.

I'm opening premiere via a script for automation and this is blocking the continuation of the script.

 

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

PProPanel shows how to do that: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, it's not necessary to save a project, to close it; see project.closeDocument() documentation.

Hey Fernando,

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find an option like that. The best option would be to click "Skip All." Is this window obstructing your workflow? If you could share more details, maybe we can find an alternate solution.

 

Thanks,

I'm basically running the following script in an automated manner:

 

var projectPath = new File('project.prproj');
if (projectPath.exists) {
    app.openDocument(projectPath.fsName);
    ExportProjectDirectly();
    app.project.save();
}

app.quit();

function ExportProjectDirectly() {
    var activeSequence = app.project.activeSequence;
    if (activeSequence) {
        var outputPath = 'output.mov';
        var presetPath = 'preset.epr';
        const result = activeSequence.exportAsMediaDirect(outputPath, presetPath, app.encoder.ENCODE_ENTIRE);
    }
} 

 

The issue is that any dialog that shows up blocks this script from continuing. For instance, I had to add the app.project.save() because otherwise the app would never quit and would be stuck in the confirm save dialog.

This interests me. Are you creating batches of videos with different inputs? I am curious about your use case and how you are using Premiere Pro. Content velocity is a keen interest of mine. That is, if you wouldn't mind sharing what you are trying to achieve.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
