Hello,

I learned about few things related being able to import files directly or add them on track,

all I know is with extendscript, panels is something I don't use yet.

I would like to know what are all the possibilites of automation precisely, thus => knowing what are the limits, so:

 

1- Captions: No API available, but SRT file can be imported and analyzed (then what?)

2- Texts: Panels offer possibility to interact with (motion graphics templates). Nothing for extendscript alone.

3- clips: can be added.
4- Transitions: ??

5- Effects and their values/parameters: for example, position, scale, ???

6- Custom animations through adding the yellow dots (for changes in value at some Time instants) ???

7- Addition of a TRANSPARENT VIDEO??? Is that possible with code? Extending it?

8- Any and all the other things I missed.

 

Thanks

    Hello,

    Most of your questions can be answered by reading about the PPro API at this link: https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/

    And by downloading a PrPro sample panel at this link. Once loaded, the Premiere Pro sample panel has working buttons that perform many of the actions you ask about. : https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/PProPanel

    1. Yes, you can import an SRT file, but not do too much else with it. Full caption access will come with UXP functionality sometime next year. 

    2. I'm not sure what your distinction is: Panels rely on extendscript to interact with motion graphics templates. Panels can import mogrts - see sample panel - importMoGRT 

    3. Yes. see sample panel - importFiles : function

    4. No, you cant add a transition, but you can adjust the parmeters of one if it's already there, see the sample panel under onPlayWithKeyframes.

    5. see 4

    6. I'm not quite sure what you're asking, perhaps you're asking about importing Mogrts.

    7. No APi for adding transparent video.

    8. See the API link above.

      Thanks a lot. It's time I move on to Panels, and leave pure ES. If I get stuck or confused about some aspects of it, I will make sure to either write a comment here or write a new post. Thank you
