How do I get Premiere to run my Extendscript program

Hello,

 

I have written a simple program for Premiere Pro using the Extendscript API, however I have come accross an embarressing stumbling block - I cannot find anywhere in the program where I actually input my script or program.

 

I contacted support and they told me that support is not provided for any programming questions. Every single tutorial I have looked at is out of date. I even requested the installer for an older version of premier (15.4.x) and none of the guides line up with that version either. I simply cannot how or where I actually run my program in Premiere.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PPro ExtendScript is triggered from within (JavaScript-based) CEP panels, like the PProPanel sample; see the project's readme for instructions on setting up a development environment. 

Also handy: The CEP HTML Test Panel contains a pane, which allows for the execution of ExtendScript.

Will this work in version 23.1.0 and beyond or will it work best in 15.4.x

 

Thank you for the rapid and extremely helpful answer. Cheers!

The ExtendScript API is forward compatible; PProPanel exercises some calls that won't work in older versions.
