Question

Refresh BridgeTalk with Premiere Pro

Hello.


When I change a value within a AE project via script (and AE running in command-line mode), the changes aren't reflected on the PR (dynamically linked composition). Is there any additional command I can use to refresh the dynamic link? Saving the project by itself is not enough apparently.

- refreshMedia() on PR didn't solve the problem.

- The only solution I found so far is to open AE with the UI. then the changes made are updated on PR. But I wanted the linked composition to be update without having to open the AE with the UI.

Thanks

Sorry, not a direct answer, just a thought. I've never used the Dynamic Link setup before, but from what I am reading in the help doc it sounds like both apps need to open for communication to happen between them. Which would explain the update working when you opened AE. I'll let someone more knowledgeable on this chime in though.

As far as I've found, BridgeTalk is not loaded when running without UI. That's why the project isn't updated.

Any ideas how to force BT to load?

Thanks!

Just stumbled across this. Might be helpful code in here maybe.

ScriptUI – BridgeTalk persistent Window examples | Photoshop, etc.
