Hello,

Is there a way to use a "bat file" or something like that, in Windows (or any other OS, we can adapt afterwards), or any languege, to order an  ExtendScript to run, without having to click or do anything (such as run-> startdebugging-> software, or an html button), just opening the bat file or running (another) code?

 

That could be very helpful please.

    Not correct. Panels can force themselves active at PPro launch.

    If you feel you must use an unsupported and not-at-all recommended method to invoke scripts [please don't], here is how. 


    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2020\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.processFile C:\Users\bbb\Desktop\test.jsx
     
    /Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ \(Beta\)/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ \(Beta\).app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ \(Beta\) /C es.processFile /Users/bbb/Desktop/test.jsx

    It is possible, but not recommended, to invoke ExtendScript in PPro, via command line. 

    Panels are the recommended approach to invoking ExtendScript in PPro.

      Hello, can't believe this is actually almost ONE YEAR AGO, should I make a new post or we can continue here?

       

      Back to topic: Panels will always include manual interactions correct?

       

      I wanted the .bat approach because I want to reduce manual interactions.
