To learn using the block code of Automation Blocks, get started here: https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/tutorials-pr/firstSteps I just looked at the block code of "Copy Auto Reframe Track to Transform" and noticed that it contains some logic to minimize the number of keyframes. For every frame it looks at the frame before and the frame after and if the agerage of these two is almost identical to the value at the current frame,  it does NOT introduce a keyframe at the current frame. Due to this "almost equal" and keyframe easing, this might not be 100% accurate. I attached a version of the script where I deactiated this optimization to minimize the number of keyframes (in the code I replaced the check if the current time needs a key by "true", to always generate a key on every frame):     To test if this version is more accurate, you can download the attached xml file and load it into Automation Blocks.   ...

You can modify the block code of any Automation Blocks script yourself. If you have an improved version, you can send it to me such that I can publish it in the Community library. What exactly is not working correctly? ... View more

In the Automation Blocks tool mentioned above, you have to enter the time offset manually in the inputs panel. If you want the time offset to always be exactly such that the first title text starts at 0, then you can use the following tool I just wrote for you: File Handling/SRT/Offset SRT Time to Start at 0.xml (also now in the Community Library) It works very similar,  but this time, you just enter a input and output file and the offset is calculated automatically such that the SRT starts at 0: ...

How exactly do you determine which parts of the sequence you export? I just wrote a tool for the Community Library of Automation Blocks Pr for you, which applies an offset to a single SRT file: File Handling/SRT/Add Time Offset to SRT File.xml Just load the xml block script into Automation Blocks and in the inputs panel choose - an input SRT file - an output SRT file  - a time offset in seconds Then run the tool and it will create the output SRT file with the desired time offset. If you want to create some kind of batch processing to manipulate many SRT files at once, the script will be a good starting point (as any Automation Blocks tool, it can be fully customized). Main question for further automation is how the tool should know the names of the different files and their offsets (maybe you have those in a spreadsheet or you have markers in your timeline with that info, for example). ...

Automation Blocks exports texts as utf8. Not sure what doesn't work on your system, but I just tried to 1) create a sequence marker with Hebrew name and comment 2) export it with "Export Markers to Spreadsheet" from Automation Blocks and it worked fine (see attached screenshot)     And no, I am not aware of such an export feature without using Automation Blocks. ...

Probably the easiest solution is to select all clips and then copy the markers from the clips to the timeline using the Automomation Blocks tool "Copy Markers from Selected Clips to Sequence".     Then you can Export the Sequence markers to a spreadsheet. ... View more

Premiere Pro does not support assigining keyboard shortcuts to features of third party tools like Automation Blocks, unfortunately.

No, there is no way to access the input values dynamically at runtime. ... View more

UI values are read before the script is executed and then inserted into the code as constants. So there is no way to interactively stop the script with a UI element. The best hack I could think of is creating some file or folder on your harddrive and make the loop check if the file still exists and stop otherwise. Then you can at least force-stop the loop by deleting the file. You should also be able to add a confirm popup dialog  after each round of the loop (or say every 100 loops), like "do you still want to continue?"

Thanks for your feedback and the detailed description. I haven’t come across this specific issue with dupe detection or through edit markers after running an Automation Blocks script, so I can’t say for sure what’s causing it. My guess is that it’s related to how Premiere Pro handles timeline changes made via scripting. Even if the script only adjusts in/out points and timing, sometimes Premiere might not fully update the internal connections it uses for these features. This isn’t something Automation Blocks can control—it's likely a behavior of Premiere’s scripting engine itself. If you notice that the markers reappear after reloading the project, clearing caches or manually adjusting a clip, it could be an indication that it’s just an update/refresh issue in Premiere. ...

I just added a tool to the community library for you: Clips/Time/Add Handles to All Clips in V1 A1.xml   In the inputs panel choose a handle duration of 10 frames, then run the tool. It will Shift all clips in V1 and A1 accordingly to get enough space between the clips for the handles and then also add the handles to the clips. If you look into the implementation you will see that the clip lists are processed backwards. By starting by the last clips, we can savely shift the clips to the right without risking overwriting other clips accidentally. ... View more

Automation Blocks is great to automate repetitive tasks. Create sequence from Spreadsheet If you had the times you want to use in a spreadasheet, for example, you could have an Automation Blocks script, which puts the clip segments listed in the spreadsheet in a sequence.  Start here to learn how this could work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPeOjwP1pX8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCt8eZCgQqc You would still need to create the spreadsheet by hand, thought. Running an External Face Detection Tool with AB   If you find some other tool - like a command line tool - which does the face detection, that you could try to create a Bat file on Windows or shell script on Mac OS, which runs the face detector and the execute that script file with Automamation Blocks. But this is definintely advanced and requires some experience and time.   Language We only have English documentation and tutorials, unfortunately. But for the docs, you could use the translation features built into many browsers, llike. Chrome. And for the YouTube video, you could (in the YouTuube player settings) set the option to auto-translate the english subtitles to your preferred language. ... View more

I just got a confirmation from Adobe and they are aware of the issue: "We're reasonably sure that the problem is in application UI updating in response to the API call, and not within the API itself..."

Thanks for reporting, this sounds like a bug in Premiere Pro. I will ask  at Adobe if there is a known issue and a workaround. In the meantime: If you close and reopen the project (or maybe just the panel) do the wrong values stay in the Properties panel? If yoou render the video, are the values in the Properties panel rendered or the texts which Automation Blocks has set? ... View more

Hi Jared,   oh, yes, for performance reasons, Autoamtion Blocks usually just writes the files to disk at the very end of the script execution (this prevents opening, closing and writing the file after each spreadsheet operation). To force it writing the file contents to disk before running your sorting algorithm on the file, run this in an execute code block: $._extAutomationBlocks.all.fileCollection.cleanup() See https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/block-reference/filesText#forcing-file-writes-to-disk   I updated the example and you can now also download it in the Community Library at File Handling/Spreadsheets/Sort CSV Spreadsheet Rows.xml   I also don't fully understand your idea with sorting using an extra temporary column. The sorting code from ChatGPT in my example should be able to deal with sorting based on timecode, numbers or texts out of the box. It first checks, if the cell looks like a timecode, then if it looks as a number and if none of that is the case, it treads it as a string. ... View more
