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

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.

I disagree—we find the PPro API quite fun.

In a previous Adobe life I wrote/maintained the After Effects SDK Guide, a >350-page behemoth FrameMaker publication with many thousands of manually hyper-linked cross-references, thorough overview sections in each chapter, version differences, and all available information one might need to write a plug-in...all of which everyone promptly ignored, and just asked me about the API.

Now, for PPro panel integration, I provide a working sample that exercises the important bits, and encourage people to ask us about the API. Any question we answer too often goes into the sample. And, as previously mentioned, the absence of documentation hasn't been a blocker.


We're happy to help; happier than you might expect from such a large software company.


The API is great and I'm glad it exists, thank you!

All most people ever really want is a high level overview of available methods with their input and output. Something in this vein: https://stripe.com/docs/api
