Can't install AdobeExtendScriptToolkit_4_LS22

I want to write some scripts for Premiere -- mainly for overcoming the weakness of the Markers panel, which doesn't even allow selecting multiple markers except via Cmd-clicking on them one by one, which is not viable when you have hundreds of marker.

I'm trying to install AdobeExtendScriptToolkit_4_LS22.dmg (Mac) -- which I had to download from All the New Adobe CC 2018 Direct Download Links, Now Available! | ProDesignTools -- since it doesn't even show up in the CC Installer -- but I get this error:

The 'error summary' link just shows a link to "System Requirements"​ which is no help at all.

I'm not sure why ESTK won't install (and this probably isn't the right forum to get help for that).

What do you hope to do with markers, in your panel?

Which is the right place/forum to ask about ESTK?

I want to be able to:

- find/replace text within marker names/comments

- change colors of markers based on names

- copy/paste markers from one timeline to another

- batch delete markers

- extend markers via hotkey

Right forum = honestly, I'm not sure. Are you installing it from an Admin user account?

> find/replace text within marker names/comments

Possible.

> change colors of markers based on names

Not possible today. [Tangentially related: PPro 12.0 (latest) added API to change a projectItem's Label.]

> copy/paste markers from one timeline to another

Possible, with plenty of work on your panel's part, to select the right markers, create corresponding new ones, and populate the new ones with the contents of the old ones.

> batch delete markers

Possible.

> extend markers via hotkey

There is no concept of "currently selected marker", in PPro's API. I'm not sure your panel has any way to know which markers to extend, when that hotkey is pressed...?
