I've been passing data pretty fluently back and forth between a custom HTML5 panel and ExtendScript, making use of JSON.stringify
All of a sudden, today the JSON object is coming up as undefined in the ExtendScript context.
I know it has worked, and now it doesn't. Why on earth?!
Hi Bruce and other panel experts,
Thanks for all the support you provide on this forum and for the amazing progress that's been made in Premiere scripting over the last few updates! I had several scripting questions about a panel I’m hoping to write. I wanted to get a few answers about what's possible before I dive in too deep.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hello,
is it possible to create a new Socket through ExtendScript JSX in Premiere Pro? I need it to receive a JSON answer. I want to secure the code of the request by a JSXBIN, that's why I want to use ExtendScript. Maybe it is possible in different way?
Hi,
I guess this question is a bit silly, but I'm a silly person (some say ;-)).
I've been trying for some hours to make use of the showSaveDialogEx() function, but without success... can someone please point me in the right direction?
For me somtething like CSInterface.showSaveDialog(params) is not working, and var x = window.cep.fs.showSaveDialog(params) also doesn't lead anywhere.
I'm (hopefully) using the CSInterface.js shipped with the latest PPro panel, but this doesn't seem to be the breaking point...
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
currently I'm a bit stuck trying to find a clean and efficient way to determine and re-map a Windows drive letter to a Mac OS path, e.g.
"file://localhost/D:/Media/Card01/Clip01.mov" should end up as "file://localhost/Volumes/VideoDrive/Media/Card01/Clip01.mov" (if VideoDrive is the D: volume name).
I tried wmic which fails because it seems that I can only pass 2 arguments to window.cep.createProcess() where in this case I would need 4 (cmd line is "wmic logicalvolume get caption,volumename") --- which is a bit strange b/c the createProcess header does not suggest the argument count was limited to 2, but maybe the implementation is (?). (Of course I could use less parameters for wmic, but then I'd have to do a lot of filtering to get what I need. Not an option.)
The other approach was to use create.process.stdin(pID,'vol\ D:') after creating a cmd.exe process, but there I wasn't able to catch the respective stdout (only returns the initial cmd stdout).
Any ideas? Hint: I need to solve this without using node.js or other "3rd party" framworks.
Cheers.
Hi All,
Can someone explain use of below two CEF command line parameters in manifest.xml?
(1) --allow-file-access
(2) --allow-file-access-from-files

Hello All,
Is there any way to open a local folder (file explorer not a file chooser) from a link in a premiere pro panel? Is this possible using cep API?

Hi All,
Is there any way we can go through a large project and find the MXF-OP Atom files in that project?
Is there any way to get the codec/wrapper details of the files in a Premiere project?
We are trying to achieve this using our HTML5-CEP based panel.

So I've been looking around and trying to find a way of importing image sequences in Adobe Premiere Pro using extendscript.
I can import separate single files using: app.project.importFiles(new Folder(folder_path));
But I can't give an option of importing these images as a sequence.
I tried using opts = new ImportOptions(new File("path_to_image")); opts.sequence = true; and calling this within app.project.importFiles(opts) but Premiere doesn't seem to support ImportOptions, I keep getting an error stating "Import Options does not have a constructor"....
I'm assuming Premiere Pro doesn't support ImportOptions?
Is there any other way of importing an image sequence using app.project.importFiles?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I am using:
SDK - Premiere Pro CC 2017.1
Program - Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017.1
OS - macOS Sierra
After compile Vignette plugin from Premiere Pro SDK, it is not load to Premiere. But Premiere founded this plugin.
In log file: "No loaders recognized this plugin, so the plugin is set to ignore."
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Please, help me.
Which font is being used now? Same or different across macOS and Windows?
Hello All,
Referring to the Premiere Pro SDK documentation covering Importers, the first line of the chapter reads:
"Importers provide video and/or audio from the media source. This source can be a single file, a
set of files, a communication link between another application, etc"
Then the imOpenFile8 selector says:
"Importers that don’t open their own files, or importers that only open a single file should
not use this suite."
I'm probably mistaken, but the two statements appear to be conflicting, creating some confusion for me. We intend to build a standard Importer plugin that creates a communication link between another application and as such will not be explicitly opening files. The example provided is great start, but I need more help.
Here's my question:
Assuming our plugin sets imImportInfoRec.canOpen to false as I think it should when it creates a communication link with another application, can someone please explain how a standard importer is interfaced with when importing? If possible, I would also like to know the sequence of calls.
Thank you,

Hi,
In order to better integrate my app with Adobe Premiere, I would like the ability to create a Premiere project and populate it with certain clips.
Sony Vegas, for example, allows to pass by command line a script, which can do everything I need. However, I can't think of a way to do this with Premiere.
I think I could have an empty project to copy it whenever I need, and then have the user load the required clips through a Panel action, but I would prefer to do it in one step.
Is this possible at all?
I don't think the "Importer API" is really related, but I'm checking it just in case.
Best regards.
Is there a way to override Premiere Pro shortcuts when your custom CEP Panel is in focus? For instance, I'm trying to get the Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z shortcut for a text field in my panel, but it keeps triggering the Premiere Pro undo command instead.
$("#editor").on("keyup", function(e){ e.preventDefault(); if(e.keyCode == 91 && e.keyCode == 90) { undoEdit(); } });
I know the code works since I tested it with each key individually, and I believe e.preventDefault() is supposed to allow this, but it's not working in my case. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
Hi All,
Is there a way to execute system commands using the C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe from panels?
We tried the CEP HTML test Extension-> Create Process options, but cannot figure out how it is working
When we try to run the commands under set StdErr Handler but that is always creating ".exe Argument1" folder in the document folder.
How can we execute system commands in windows environment?
How can we run certain commands/ programme as a specific user?
Thanks and Regards,

I need the ability to get the current playhead position for a source clip.
The reason why I need this is because I have external logs which I would like to push into clip markers.
But the external logs have a timecode-offset (logs-TC has an offset to clip-TC).
Envisioned workflow:
- Premiere PRO editor open extension pane and selects one log
- Then shuttles to the position in the clip which belongs to the log
- Then goes back to the extension pane, clicks a sync button
- Result: extension panel recalculates the TCs and imports the logs as markers
All I found is this for sequences:
getCurrentPos
Returns the position of the current time indicator (the position bar set by the user). If (-1) is returned, the position bar in the timeline is not present.
csSDK_int32 getCurrentPos(PrTimelineID timelineData);
timelineData - the timelineData of the current sequence
Thank you,

Hello,
I have a question about premiere pro plugin installation. In the docs it says that
On Windows, the common plug-in path can be found in the registry in the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe/Premiere Pro/CurrentVersion/Plug-InsDir
however, when I browse my registry, there is no key "Adobe" under "Software". I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro to be sure that it is not my install screw up. It is still missing after I did complete uninstall and installed Premiere Pro again. To be more specific, I only installed Premiere Pro and programs that it depends on, if that is important. Can you guys confirm that that registry entry is created during adobe install?
Meanwhile,
let's assume that key "Plug-InsDir" exists in registry. Would the plugin path be in (Default) string value or another string value under the same key? What's the name of that string value if it is not in default string value?
Thank you,
Petro
Hi All,
I am trying to download media file (image or video) from AWS S3 using nodejsaws-sdk module. The file is downloaded but I couldn't open as it looks corrupted. Also noted that file size is not same as source file. Refer below code:
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var options = {
accessKeyId: "XXX",
secretAccessKey: "XXX"
};
var s3 = new AWS.S3(options);
var bucketName = 'test-bucket';
var keyName = 'test.jpg';
var params = {Bucket: bucketName, Key: keyName};
var fsModule = "fs";
var fs = require(fsModule);
// This requires when running this code in panel
AWS.util.stream = require('stream');
var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('D:/test.jpg');
var readStream = s3.getObject(params).createReadStream();
readStream.pipe(writeStream);
I have added aws-sdk node module in my extension folder.
Note:
(1) I can download and open txt file without any issue
(2) If I run this code outside panel context (run in local nodejs server) it works for all type of files including text and media!!
Premiere Pro version: 9.0.0
Extension Type: Panel

[Adobe Premiere Pro] Installed Extensions not Showing in Adobe Premiere
Hi all,
Complete Adobe-Development noob here -- so apologies in advanced for any confusion on my part.
I have a requirement for work to update an extension that someone else (who is no longer available) created for Adobe Premiere Pro.
To the limit of my knowledge, it was hosted on Adobe Exchange and ceased to work due to new released Premiere Pro versions. I am tasked with updating the extension to make it compatible with the newest Premiere Pro release (and hopefully just all versions if possible). The extension is just essentially an iFrame redirect to our web application, housed in an Adobe Premiere Pro panel. I plan to just update the versions and submit a "Patch" on Adobe Exchange with the new ZXP Package.
Issue:
Attempted Fix Process (learning to repackage the original ZXP file has been an epic journey):
ZXPSignCmd -sign com.MyExtension com.MyExtension.zxp adobeExtensionCert.p12 "password" -tsa http://tsa.starfieldtech.com
ExManCmd.exe /install com.MyExtension.zxp
Question:
EDIT:
Hi all! I'm trying to work with my audio channels and buffers using the PrSDKAudioSuite, which tells me this:
// All audio calls to and from Premiere use arrays of buffers of 32-bit // floats to pass audio. Therefore all audio is not interleaved by channel. // So stereo audio looks like this: // // float* audio[2]; // // where audio[0] is the address of a buffer N samples long and audio[1] // is the address of a second buffer N samples long. audio[0] contains // the left channel and audio[1] contains the right channel. N is called // the number of "sample frames" in the buffer. N will be the same no matter // how many channels of audio are present in the buffer. // // Because we use 32-bit floats for each audio sample, we can represent // values above 0 dB during mixing. 0 dB corresponds to +/- 1.0 in the floating // point. For symmetry in the int <--> float conversions, it is recommended // you use the utility functions below. For example if you want to convert // a single float to a 16-bit signed int, use ConvertAndInterleaveTo16BitInteger() // with 1 channel and one sample frame.
I do have the buffers as the float, but they all seem to stay NULL. Is there something i'm missing or doing wrong? Hope somebody can point me into the right direction.
Thank you,
Bas
