If I remember correctly (and if it's still of interest), FCP uses a translation to 1024 or 2048 [-1..1] ... you will find out by moving your image 100% to the left or the right...or top... or bottom. Or save time by combining two! 😄

Hi Meet, this is what you're looking for. Unfortunately Premiere's metadata doesn't seem to contain any information what the timecode base is, which is not critical when worming with straight frame rates only, but when working with 29.97 or 30-drop (or 23.978, or 59.94, yada yada...) and you need to perform timecode-related operations, your results might be off point.

Hi Meet, you can find technical metadata like frame rate in a projectItem's projectMetadata and/or XMPMetadata.

Hi Bruce, can you confirm the resolution/precision of a marker's time depends on the frame rate (or more precisely, the edit units) of the clip / sequence the marker is referring to? (In conclusion, the precision for common audio would be 1/48,000 th of a second.) (Though a GUID is technically preferrable it might make more sense to use time reference, depending on the workflow which hasn't been described so far.)

Hi Meet, just guessing, but are you using 25fps footage? The marker you're setting could be set to the nearest matching frame time by Premiere.

Hi Bruce, what does "being in use" actually mean? There was no (obvious) I/O operation being performed on the file (clip wasn't activated in any way, not loaded to source, no being used in a timeline, no preview generation or audio waveform calculation...nada!), how does Premiere "use" (lock) a file if there is no need to?

I'd be curious to know if you only have 1 file in your test project, if that file is even renamed. During my tests with multiple files regarding this topic it turned out the first file was never or rarely renamed because it was locked by PrPro somehow. All other files were properly renamed and relinked.

Hi, you need more or less all of them, depending on the capabilities you want to offer... FRAME/FIELD = progressive / interlaced FullRange = use luminance levels of 0..255 instead of 16..235 MPEG2/MPEG4 = use feature-set of respective encoding methods

Hi Tyler, this one I couldn't verify in one of your earlier screenshots: Does the manifest contain the correct link to both your index.html AND .jsx which loads the jsx part? Does any of the panels provided by Adobe on github (e.g. PProPanel) work?

Hi Tyler, the path exmancmd installs to is fine (well, used to be before 11.2), and the other path is also valid for CEP extensions. Have you tried to turn the signing check off? (By adding the key "PlayerDebugMode" with value "1" to your registry under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.7" (for CC2017, for CC2015.x it needs to be "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.6") Then you could also work with a "raw", meaning not-having-gone through-a-packaging-process, version of your extension (if you haven't done that already, but we don't know that yet).

Hi ETorr, it should be made clear that keystrokes are only captured by a panel when it is focused, but not when another panel/window is, IIRC. So this might not be what you're looking for...

Hi Tyler, your PPRO version is set for the extension to only be available in 8.0, which is CC2014. You need to set it to "8.0, 11.9" to support every release from CC 2014 to CC 2017.

Hi Anoop, there is a difference in the metadata. If you use app.project.rootItem.children .getProjectMetadata(); , you'll have 3 entries like <premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipStart>hh:mm:ss:ff</premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipStart> <premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipEnd>hh:mm:ss:ff</premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipEnd> <premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipDuration>hh:mm:ss:ff</premierePrivateProjectMetaData:Column.Intrinsic.SubclipDuration> which are the only direct indication that the projectItem is a subclip, so basically you just need to regex-match against the above result if you need "binary" handling (do something or don't).

Hi, I think the APIs is not entirely consequential in its design; I haven't done a reverse test (feeding a "\\?\D:\path\to\file.ext" to a method which expects a "D:\path\to\file.ext" string), but I guess under the hood there are some error catching methods which add Win32-required prefixes or directives to the input. In other cases, read methods seem to return the Win32 result. Or maybe it's added there as well, I don't know... anyway, the results vary.

Hi Anoop, the trouble is you only need elevated privileges to create a symlink because these can traverse partitions / logical volumes. You wouldn't have that problem with a hard link or junction because they're bound to a partition / logical volume. The clean solution is to advise admins to enable symbolic link creation for the respective user, see here, or here. People need to be aware of what changes have been applied on a system, it's bad pratice to do this in disguise.

Hi zachary, if you use app.enableQE(); var curSrcClip = qe.source.clip.name; var curSrcPath = qe.source.clip.filePath; will give you the name (and the file path if required). Now when combining this with the recursive search (searchBinForProjItemByName) this will give you the respective clip in the project window... and so forth... I wonder if that's really a useful workflow or if it were more beneficial to get a tool like Kyno, which is more tailored towards your needs.

Hi Anoop, I wonder why you're not using Folder.create() in JSX, or window.cep.fs.makeDir(), if creating folders is all that's needed... and also why creating a folder on an arbitrary non-system disk should require admin privileges?

Hi Anoop, basically cep.create.process works like: var myProc = window.cep.process.createProcess('C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\ping.exe','www.adobe.com','-4'); // max. 2 parameters if ( 0 == myProc.err ) { var myProcPID = myProc.data; var myProcStdout = window.cep.process.stdout(myProcPID, function(output){ // do stuff with output }); } else { alert ("error:" + myProc.err); } Now, trying to run any shell command as a different user (especially with elevated privileges) is a very bad idea. It requires the system admin to reveal privileged information which is a no-no, especially because you will have to hard-code it (or have someone type it in). The problem you're trying to solve will need a different approach.

Hey sberic, I didn't do this in order to strip you of your merit (I appreciate your input), but to give a signal to Adobe there's action required here. My suspicion is that questions which appear to be answered are not being looked into any more. I'll revert this as soon as there is an answer from the Adobe team...

No, the posted result is a return from getProjectMetadata(), not getXMPMetadata(), which would have been the right method call. I think the result is different from the ProjectItem.nodeId value, and they'd have to make sure this is present in v9.x as well.

Hi Meet, what you want is the UUID of a file, and if remember correctly, this is available as the xmpMM:InstanceID in each projectItem's metadata. See https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/xmp/pdfs/XMPSpecificationPart1.pdf , page 36. Best, e.d.
