Premiere Pro event list?

In the PProPanel sample (github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/master/PProPanel/ext.js) there are sample event hooks for "com.adobe.csxs.events.PProPanelRenderEvent" and "com.adobe.csxs.events.WorkspaceChanged" events but these aren't listed in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/cs-extension-builder/pdfs/CC_Extension_SDK.pdf  or anywhere else that I've seen.

Are there Premiere Pro events for post-export functions, eg. Final Cut Pro XML or EDL export?

Where can I find a list of supported event types fired by Premiere Pro? Alternatively is it possible to have a "wildcard" event handler which is called for all application event types?

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

PPro sends the events listed here: https://www.davidebarranca.com/2014/07/html-panels-tips-12-cep-application-events/

The PProPanelRenderEvent is sent only by PProPanel.

No, there are no events for post-export functions, nor can you register for 'wildcard' events.

Specifically, what are you trying to do?

Thanks Bruce,

That page says those are Photoshop events, so are you saying the same list applies to Premiere Pro? There must be more events than that though as that list doesn't include WorkspaceChanged for example.

Specifically I was looking to see whether the panel could be notified when the user exports an EDL/FCP file using Premiere Pro's own menu options, so the application could process the file, passing it out to an external service. Although our panel now has its own Final Cut Pro XML export function, that requires the user to switch between PPro's own menus and the panel, which may be confusing for users. I was hoping that maybe the built in export function(s) could fire an event in our panel to trigger the same post-export processing.

Those are not Photoshop events, or PPro events; they are CSXS events, common across Adobe apps which support CSXS/CEP (CSXS = Flash era, CEP = modern era).

PPro doesn't let panels register for messages, as you've described. If you'd like to control FCP XML export, export that FCP XML from your panel. That's a common approach for rendering using panel-specified output settings, as well.
