Can CEP access the graphics tab of the text window?

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi Ash,

Thanks for the question. I tagged it as SDK, which is the one you should use to call devs to the thread. I hope we can help you shortly with a solution.

Take Care,

Kevin

No, but...

What would you like to do, with that access? [Might be possible via other methods]

I'm trying to make an extension that looks at the on-screen text for names and verifies the spelling of those names as existing people. I got that part of the extension working, it pulls the text from the XML.  If there is a misspelled name, I need the timecode to find it, however, I've been unable to get usable timecodes associated with the graphic text from the XML.

Understood! Parsing the XML is 100% not supported. 🙂

Closest available supported workflow : The PPro ExtendScript API (used by CEP panels) supports inserting .mogrts and manipulating their parameters.

Direct API access to text layers will need to wait until after our first UXP extensibility release, for which our priority is feature parity. No dates available.
