Where is the API Documentation for the Premiere Pro Panel SDK?

I see the links to the sample application and the getting started guide, but where is the actual SDK documentation?

Where is the documentation that describes the options of manifest.xml?

Where is the documentation for the the PPRO javascript API for the type of functions used in the sample application (ie: "$._ext_PPRO.importFiles()")

How about documentation for this global "__adobe_cep__" object that I see in CSInterface.js in the example?

Thank you

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

There is no documentation for the PPro ExtendScript API; the working sample code is the right place to start. Feel free to ask questions.

For the rest: Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources · GitHub

Okay so to clarify, you can find general extension documentation here: CEP 6 HTML Extension Cookbook for CC 2015 · Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources Wiki · GitHub

But as far as PPro specific bindings go, there is no documentation. You can see some simple uses in the example extension but no where does there exist a place to read about what the bindings are and how to use them.

Correct, nor has there ever been any. This hasn't yet been a barrier for the dozens of panels created, so far.

Let us know if you have a specific question, not addressed by the sample code.


Okay, but let's be honest here, APIs without documentation are no fun. I don't really appreciate the attitude that it's an unreasonable thing to expect. I'm sure I can stumble my way through the functions I need to use, it's just not what I would expect from such a large software company.
