I've confirmed that it does. 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Command line scripting can work, but it is definitely NOT a recommended workflow, for a variety of reasons. CEP panels remain the recommended and supported way to invoke ExtendScript in PPro.

In addition to what Bruce said - if you are looking for alternative ways to execute scripts via command line:

 

In my (paid) extension Automation Blocks I implemented a listener which allows to execute Automation Blocks scripts with HTTP Get requests.These requests can be created in all kinds of ways - also from the commandline using wget or curl, for example.

Automation Blocks can also execute jsx script files, so you could use this mechanism not only for Automation Blocks tools, but also to trigger execution of other scripts.

 

If you are looking for a free alternative, which does not rely on Automation Blocks, you can also use Premiere Remote, which offers a similar mechanism to trigger jsx scripts via http requests. It is a bit more complex to configure and install than Automation Blocks, but can be customized to execute any jsx code within Pr.
