Events when exporting in PPRO

[Rana29462015nepr]

Hello!

I have a question regarding our CEP panel built for premire pro. We would like to know when the user has exported their video natively through ppro. It could be when export is initiated / in progress / completed. I have researched online and checked the Samples repo but I cant find anything that allows for that use case. What I could find was a couple of export events for AME, but that does not really do what we want.

One solution would be to watch for files added to a certain folder, but since we don't control the export from our panel, we don't know what folder to watch for. Another thing I noticed was that the event panel renders a certain log every time a project is successfully exported, not sure if its possible to listen for log events either though, and anyways that is a very hacky solution I would rather skip. 

So my question is, is there any solution to this problem? To answer your question why we want this, it's interesting from an analytics perspective in our case.

Thanks 🙂

No, there is no API around that; PPro will be blocked during the export, and display a progress bar.
You could perhaps compare timing info from before and after calling exportAsMediaDirect().
