Can you code through extendscript (or other), automatically adding the caption you desire for a video (by inputing both text and time stamps), either adding:

- the full caption for a video,

- or for a part of a video

- or for just one instant

?

Correct, there is no API access to captions.

While it is possible to import .srt files via app.project.importFiles(), then create trackItems based on the .srt files' projectItem, PPro offers no other caption-related APIs.

Ok so trackitems, (https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/item/trackitem.html) is kind of any "attribute" for a clip.. such as (name, duration..).

So:

1) srt file is imported.
2) analysis of file and string to create values that can be used as track items

Ok then from here you are saying that it is impossible to "communicate with the captions" right? Just so it 100% clear and so I can forget about this idea. (I guess importing manually a srt file can do it instead? with less options to do what you want inside PP)
