markers triggered by specific sound file

[Luke7983]

hello, i'm using Premiere Pro. I'm wondering if it's possible to play a specific noise, like a beep or something, during my recording; and then Premiere knows to put a marker at the point of that beep during editing.

i'm looking to trigger markers by a wav file. 

doesn't have to be a marker, could be a command to 'cut clip here' or something like that. 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

if noise.wav

then

add-marker.

Hi Luke,

thanks!
i actually called adobe support about this and a man on the phone told me there was NO way to create scripts that would work in adobe premiere. he said the sdk was just for other adobe products, after effects or something, don't remember which.
But i've seen this site you sent me and a few youtube tutorials that suggjest i can write scripts to use in premiere. i think maybe he had bad info. unsure. have you ever written scripts for premiere?

Luke,

Sorry about that. Yes, you got some wrong info. Sorry about that. If you have time, you can PM me the agent's name, and I'll straighten out the situation, so it doesn't happen to someone else. I hope you can figure out your script. Share your findings with us, if you don't mind.

Thanks,
Kevin

You were definitely given inaccurate information; sorry about that. 

PPro supports a variety of C++ plug-in types, for different purposes: Importers and Exporters to support additional file formats, video filters based on the After Effects API, Transmit plug-ins to send video and audio to external devices... 

PPro also supports CEP panels, JavaScript-based web pages that can also access PPro's ExtendScript API. 

The PProPanel sample, while exceedingly ugly, is thorough in its exercise of that API; the ReadMe shows how to get started. Feel free to ask questions! 

As to this specific use case...

There's no method for scripts to access audio content at specific times. Your panel could export the audio of interest, do some analysis of your own to determine where markers belong, and then insert markers (on the clip, or on the sequence) corresponding to those times.

Hi Luke,

I came across your post while browsing through the forum. I'm currently working on a project with a similar task. However, I'm looking for a script that counts beeps or recorded sequences from me. Can you tell me if you were successful with your script?

Best regards,
Maarten

Hi @Luke7983 

Since your question is about Premiere Pro, I have moved this from the Photoshop forum where you posted.
