script to add Texts

Hi

I am supposing that texts can be added either to audio track or video tracks am I wrong?

How would go about adding Texts through extendscript?

Not sure what "type of object" is a text?

Nor how to set its coordinates?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

You are mentioning motion graphic templates, because they are much much better than regular Text right? (and more aesthetic)

I am saying this because I don't understand why there is not API for regular Text, it should be added. Unless there is something much much better, and that's what I am assuming about motion graphic templates, since it was mentioned.

 


Motion graphics templates are the right approach. 

Here is some more general documentation about motion graphics templates:

I think by 'Texts' you mean 'motion graphics templates'...

Here's PProPanel demonstrating how to programatically import motion graphics templates authored in After Effects, and modify their parameters.

    Hello again B,

    This is what I mean:

    Is that what you call motion graphic templates? I have the feeling you might be talking about something I did not "reach" yet or think about yet. Is it?

     

    AS for this link : https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/e60d6a22ef44d8eb4cca3904c35a0c050576b697/PProPanel/jsx/PPRO/Premiere.jsx#L1865

    I really Hope I can adapt it to extendscript+visual studio like I did with the previous use case.

    Close!

    There is no API to directly access PPro's Text tool. 
    There is API around importing and manipulating motion graphics templates, authored in After Effects.
