scripting and editing

Hello, 

So i know adobe has some scripting capabilities, but i don't understand the limits and potentials of it. 

I work in IT, and i'm an 'ok' coder, but i want to know if adobe scripting can even do things i would use, before diving in. 

For the clips i make, one of the steps is adding an adjustment layer with gaussian blur and low exposure. Then i put copies of all the clip segments beneath it, and adjust their position and scale to fill the screen so there isn't any black space.(see AdobeEditingGoal.png)
i don't remember the export details off the top of my head, but it's for instagram. (see EndResult.png)

can i write some code that would do this for me automatically? does adobe scripting have that kind of power?  

So after i'm done editing a clip, and i'm ready to make it look right for instagram, i can trigger some script that:

1. adds adjustment layer,
2. adds gaussian blue and low exposure to adjustment layer
3. makes copies of clip segments, adds them under the adjustment layer
4. sets the position and scale to the right numbers and fills in black space? 

there's plenty more i'm sure i need but this would be a good place to start. i need to streamline this editing process. i am but one man. please help. 

thanks.
