Premiere + javascript automation.

I need to make automated video creation using javascript from small videos.

The main problem is that i can't find any proper documentation...

For example this will receive error:

 

folder = new Folder('C:\Users\dangerd\Desktop\Test');
var tempFiles = folder.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof File; });

 

 While this works well: (folderPath variable is somehow defined)

 

new Folder('C:\Users\dangerd\Desktop\Test');
var tempFiles = folderPath.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof File; });

 

 okay, that's weird...

So next question, how i can import all files from specified directory and put them into timeline with simple transitions between them and export video?

The first snippet ("this will receive error") works fine, here.


> how i can import all files from specified directory

In the above example, you would call importFiles(), passing in an array of file paths...which you can obtain, in your example, via tempFiles[a].fsName (where 'a' is less than the number of items in the tempFiles array).

>...put them into the timeline 

Here's how to insert: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/63f176a4903b9be9e6aa73133ae689a3904f78c8/PProPanel/jsx/PPRO/Premiere.jsx#L1655

> with simple transitions

There's no method for applying transitions, within PPro's supported public DOM.

    First snippet doesn't works, it shows 0 files while second returns videos count

    I've confirmed that this snippet works correctly. 

    var folder = new Folder('/Users/bbb/Desktop/testtest');

var tempFiles = folder.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof File; });

for (var a = 0; a < tempFiles.length; a++) {
    var pathToThisFile = tempFiles[a].fsName;
}
