Hi all, is it possible to export a frame of the sequence using the SDK, implementing what a used can do using the Export Frame command?

Thank you in advance.

Hello, Ale!

An ExtendScript script (.jsx file) or HTML5 panel (which calls ExtendScript) can do that. Please write me directly, and I'll get you a sample script (and panel) which do so.

b b b at adobe dot com

Reason for not just posting a sample script: There is a way of doing it, that would work, in 7.x. However, there is a much BETTER way of doing it in the version we <ahem> technology-previewed at NAB, which will be generally available, Really Soon Now™. Unless you're very pressed for time, we recommend you wait for the newer better way.

Thank you,

I've tried using exportCurrentFrameAsPNG function and it had no effect. the function inside, activeSequence.exportFramePNG returns false. it was on premiere 11.1.2

First I tried copying the function from the example, after that didn't work I downloaded and installed the whole PProPanel, and even there any function that uses exportFramePNG doesn't work, for example the button that exports frames from markers moves the playhead along each of the markers, but still nothing is exported.

Is it broken? Is there a replacement function?

Thanks

I've confirmed that PProPanel loads and runs, and exportCurrentFrameAsPNG() is working correctly. Check your ~/Desktop for .png files.

Perhaps you didn't have an active sequence, when you invoked it?

Hi Ale,

It should be possible using scripting.  Bruce Bullis can share more details.
