I don't think you can without the popup dialog:

var impOpt = new ImportOptions(new File('path/to/my/file.prproj'));
app.project.importFile(impOpt)

See these resources for more details.

Hey Justin, what if this would be done via app.execute instead? Or that way the dialog will break the import process anyways and will require manual input?

As far as I remember when working with Premiere imports - there can be two options. One with Dynamic Link (where it updates in between the changes), or importing of the project as compositions, where sequences relates to AE comps.

Hey Tom, from what I can tell both import and import as comps have the same result, the only difference is the import as comp puts the dynamic link into its own comp. In order for you to import as comp, you will have to do it manually or through app.executeCommandId(), but you could more easily import it regularly and then have a script put that dynamic link in a comp. Neither way is ideal unfortunately since you still need user input to the Dynamic Link UI to select your Premiere Project.

Is this still how it does not work?

I need to import sequences from Premiere via Extendscript to automize some workflows.

Is there really no way to do this?

I mean, it's 4 years later now...

AI is trying to tell me there is a class "PremiereProSequence" i could instantiate and that there is a function "importPremiereProSequence()" inside the "project" object (which is not true, but sad).

I do not want the user to decide which Sequence to import, because they do not have readable names...

I am feeling like being the only person on the planet who wants to do that. 🙂

So, might there be any update to this thing?
