Question about API Hosting

[Anusha27318614kmsk]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the Adobe ecosystem and I'm looking to develop code for video stabilization. I have a few questions:

1. Does Adobe offer a cloud-based solution or API to interact with Premiere Pro? Or is it necessary to install the software locally?
2. Is it feasible to stabilize video programmatically? I'm hoping to create an API that takes an input video and stabilization parameters, then returns a stabilized output video.

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

1. PPro's APIs are 100% local, not cloud-based.

2. It's pretty tough. Our own stabilizer "cheats"; it uses one set of (C++ video effect) APIs to get the pixel data from the source media, and another set (usually reserved for PPro ExtendScript) to manipulate the parameter streams related to the track item, representing the video.
