Premiere Pro Plugins Development Roadmap

[Fer Souza]

Hi, I'm interested in Premiere Pro Plugin Development, but i have no knowledge or guide at all. There's any course, or guidelines to go from 0 to a basic plugin?

[Bruce Bullis]

The APIs you would use, depend on what you'd like to create. 

What would you like to create? [Happy to provide further guidance, based on your response]

[Fer Souza]

I would to create a plugin that automates functions on premiere, like auto keyframes. Also, I want to edit Premiere's Pro mouse functions, to make Windows Timeline Zoom-In Smooth as in MacOs

[Bruce Bullis · Accepted solution]

There are no APIs around smoothing PPro mouse functions. 

CEP-based panels can use PPro's ExtendScript APIs, to manipulate keyframes; here's some example code from the PProPanel sample:

 The PProPanel readme describes how to set up a development environment. 

Here are the API docs: https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev
