Need a script or extension coded for Premiere Pro to make cuts at times, or maybe automation blocks?

I need the ability paste timecodes into a text box such as:

00:13 - 00:23
00:25 - 00:33
00:43 - 00:48

and then I need PPro to make a cut at each point of the current timeline, and then to use one colour to label the new cuts in the timeline.

Is this possible? Where do I find a tool that can possibly do this already, or where can I find a dev ask what it would cost? I researched the new UXP Dev Tools to try and vibe code it myself but realize that an interface isn't possible with UXP. I'm not sure how extensions work or are coded, perhaps that's what is needed.

As far as I. know, you cannot set the label color of track items via scripting.

If you just want to visualize the selected time ranges in the timeline and look for an out of the box solution, you could write the times into a spreadsheet and then use Automation Blocks' "Import Markers from Spreadsheet" to create markers from the spreadsheet.

If you want a more custom solution, you could also write a custom Automation Blocks script, which reads the times from a spreadsheet, textfile or a multiline text field (see input block), then loops over the clips in the timeline and creates duplicates in a second track, for the respective time ranges.
If you have some budget, I recommend to ask Henrique from The Machine Must Work. He will be able to estimate how much effort it is to create a solution with. Automation Blocks or navtively with UXP and what is the most cost-effective solution depending on what exactly you need.

Thanks Mathias! 

That's some great info, I will look into it, much appreciated.
