Can you add a text graphic to a sequence using ExtendScript?

[Sobhan]

Inside Premiere Pro, you can use the "Type Tool" to insert a text graphic onto a sequence. I would like to do the same action, but from an ExtendScript (.jsx). Is that possible?

[Bruce Bullis · Accepted solution]

Yes; see the PProPanel sample.

Yep, as Bruce points to above, adding and manipulating MOGRT elements via ExtendScript is possible, but be aware that the API is only designed to support MOGRT elements built in After Effects ... unfortunately it doesn't support native Adobe Premiere MOGRTs.

Is this still true, that ExtendScript manipulation of MOGRT elements is only for MOGRT elements built in AE?

I'm working on manipulating a MOGRT element built in PPro and if it's not possible I'd like to know before I keep working on it.

[Bruce Bullis]

I think Andy may have it inverted; PPro .mogrts should work.

What does your testing show?

[andymees@aje]

Ah... my apologies for any misdirection... so can I access and manipulate the text of MOGRT instances created in PPro now? If so, excellent! 🙂

Your message misled me, PPpro mogrt is still unavailable for editing via api.
You talk about this in other topics, but this one came across to me first and I puzzled over why the script does not work for me
