Hello! Does Premiere Project(.prproj) have someself metadata (not clips or sequence, just project)? Can I change or get it's with Adobe CEP API? Can I see it's? In the metadata panel, I don't see metadata for project

Actually, get/setting the private project metadata is only possible from within PPro, not Bridge (which is limited to media-specific metadata).

PProPanel shows how to get and change metadata at the media (per clip) and sequence level. 

https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/5adff5bfad64ed20ae68770ab0e2401790d47e7e/PProPanel/jsx/PPRO/Premiere.jsx#L785

It is also possible to get/set private (per projectItem) metadata:

Again, this all happens at the ExtendScript layer, not the CEP (JavaScript) layer.

Not sure you can in premiere. Bridge is the way to go

    I think Adobe Bridge might be the answer to your problem. I used it in the past to export metadata, I think it can work for project metadata

    In my case (plugin developing) it is not advisable to use anything other than Premiere, but thank you for you help. I will consider the possibilities Adobe Bridge

    I develop plugin for Adobe Premiere. And in this plugin have option to import/export metadata to other system. For clips and sequence I implement this functionality, but import/export project metadata is problem, because I dont't know even how to see project metadata.

    getXmpMetadata for rootItem in API gives me empty string, and in Premiere UI I can't see project metadata
