Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a Premiere pro extension, im a begginer into this. I struggle a lot, there is no much easy to access step by step guide to start. https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/ i find the website very unclear and im sorry but I dont get at all what doing...

I try using chatgpt to get some info but it is very blurred too: as of now it says to install several things such as the Premiere Pro plug in SDK, (when I downloaded it, I see only Examples file and .pdf, and nothing much clear of what to do / install with this?)

On the other hand I have all the set up : creative cloud, uptodate premiere pro version as well as VS code.

To start with simple stuff , ChatGPT told me creating 3 simple files (manifest, script, index) and put it into the folder directory / CEP / Extensions, Zipped file . when I open Premiere pro after, nothing show up into the extension ? Is there anywhere a simple way to start ?

I dont know maybe Im missing something, I get very lost. Could you help me on starting my project ? thank you in advance

ExtendScript Toolkit was deprecated many years ago.

Per the PProPanel readme (see the "Obtain and install these" section), Microsoft Visual Studio Code + the ExtendScript Debugger extension, are the supported development environment.

Hi Alex, I hope you got the answer you were looking for on how to build an extension. For a comprehensive one-stop guide (which i feel is what you were getting at) on how to build and subsequently list and market your extension, check this out: https://www.adobevideopartner.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Adobe-Video-Partner-Program_Extension-Panel-Guide_2023.pdf

Hey Nicotika, here is a guide that may help that leads to the developer resources that Bruce also provided above: https://www.adobevideopartner.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Adobe-Video-Partner-Program_Extension-Panel-Guide_2023.pdf

I have seen ChatGPT providing totally wrong information on several Adobe software.

I have even seen a combination of Pro and Elements used in the same guidance.

So in other words, don't use ChatGPT. Totally unreliable.

I'm not sure why you think ChatGPT would provide useful guidance, on this topic...?

Here is the PProPanel example panel, which includes "how to set up a dev system" documentation: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/PProPanel

Here are PPro's ExtendScript API docs: https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev

Hello Bruce and thank you a lot for your quick answer, I followed what you gived me and I successfully created a simple local extention in premiere.

I think I passed a good first step in my extension creation journey and as you said ChatGPT seems useless here in this case to help me haha. Now i get stuck at one point, I dont find the app extendscript tool kit into the creative cloud ? How should I do it ? btw I already went to preferences / parameters / show older app . Thanks
