Force close without saving
Two part question:
What is Premiere writing upon closing a document?
It's getting in the way of workflows that I'm developing, as it's trying to write to a write-protected file. I can't diff between the before and after files to find the difference since the prproj is binary.
And if you're curious what the message is: If I run app.project.closeDocument() on a perforce file that is not checked out(read-only), the error that occurs is:
"Could not open the project file with write access. The file may be locked or you may not have permission to write to this location.
Select 'Save As' from the File menu to save the project to a new location."
Second part:
app.project.closeDocument() - is there a force argument that can be handed to this? or a completely different command that will say "when I close you, don't save any information to the file?"

Having trouble deleting transitions with the api
Hi friendly Adobe peeps,
I'm having trouble deleting transitions with the Premiere api. I've been using QE, thusly (simplified from a loop):
app.enableQE();
qe.project.getActiveSequence().getVideoTrackAt(0).getTransitionAt(0).remove()
... & it works but there is a memory leak, so I can't run the script twice. I chatted to bbb_999 offline & he suggested I don't use QE, so I've got this now:
app.project.sequences[0].videoTracks[0].transitions[0].unbind(true)
... which returns Undefined and the transition isn't deleted. I suspect I'm not passing the correct parameter to the unbind method. Any help would be appreciated!
As a side question: how do I find the arguments list for methods, since there is no documentation? I'm getting pretty exhausted browsing the DOM in ExtendScript Toolkit and then guessing what method arguments might be.
Cheers,
Raphael

Delete sequence in Premiere Pro using ExtendScript
My work is almost done, but there is one simple question, how to delete the sequence using ExtendScript?
In my script I can clone it, rename, move new footages, pictures, wav's etc., but I can not delete it.
In Data Browser (ExtendScript) there's app.project.deleteSequence(), but what are the arguments for this function? I know about QE and I found just one thread about it (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1977423?start=0&tstart=0), there's no answer how it works. For many years I'm waiting for the manual for Pr like an After Effects Scripting Guide=(
In my project there is a sequence I need to make a copy, create some footages and titles, then rename cloned sequence, export it as Premiere Pro project and delete from this one. Everything works perfect except the last one.
This is the part of code:
app.project.activeSequence.clone(); // create "old_seq copy" from "old_seq"
var nI = app.project.rootItem.children.numItems;
for (var i = 0; i < nI; i++) { if (app.project.rootItem.children[i].name == "old_seq copy") { var item = app.project.rootItem.children[i] item.name = "new_seq"; } }
--------------------------------------------------------------
/*--*/
for (var i = 0; i < nI; i++) { if (app.project.rootItem.children[i].name == "new_seq") { app.project.deleteSequence(); //<--- this is just an example of the line, but how to delete "new_seq"? } }
I found nothing about it in PProPanel. Is it possible at all?
Thank you!

Getting duration out of pproTicksIn/pproTicksOut
Hi there
I’m trying to get the duration of a clip from an exported finalcut pro xml out of premiere pro cc. Somehow it seems my following calculation is wrong. TICKS_PER_SECOND is 254,016,000,000 (Source Post).
TimeInSec = (pproTicksOut / TICKS_PER_SECOND) – (pproTicksIn / TICKS_PER_SECOND)
With example data attached that results in TimeInSec = 37.32. Adobe Premiere shows duration for that clip of “00:00:36:20” (920 Frames).
Is someone able to explain, how to calculate the same duration as premiere with the data given from an exported finalcut pro xml?
Thanks a lot

Source Settings = Effect + Importer
The SDK guide has a paragraph on the newly introduced in the CC 2015 SDK effect control source settings. This paragraph is (to my knowledge) literally the only info on the subject. No comments in the headers either.
What is the intended way of communication between the importer and source settings effect? Does the host chain the source settings effects plugin automatically, feeding it frames from the importer? What's the deal with imSourceSettingsCommandRec and PF_SourceSettingsSuite? Now, apparently that's for importer<-->effect communication since they (and only they) understand the actual data passed in the command but it is unclear (to me, anyway) how it works, and how and when the host passes the command to the effect. Any documentation or sample code to glimpse into?

Using reflection to discover method parameters in Premiere?
Hi,
I am trying to use the ExtendScript Toolkit to discover what APIs Premiere supports.
I can use reflection to discover both properties and methods.
However, when finding a method, I cannot see how to determine what parameters it takes (unless its used in the PProPanel example, there is no documentation).
For example: I'd like to set In & Out points in the source clip window.
I can see: qe.source.clip.setInPoint is a function, but how do you call it?
I'd also like to set the current position in the source clip window.
I can't see how to do this at all ???
Any clues?
Cheers,
James.
Ps I am using 'ticks' when calling app.project.activeSequence.setPlayerPosition. Any definition of num ticks per second?

Is scripting multiple undo a bad idea?
Hi Premiere api peeps,
I'm wondering how safe it is to undo an arbitrary number of times via jsx. I have this code:
for (var i = 0; i < numTransitionsRemoved; i++) { project.undo();
}... in a larger script that in total removes all transitions, writes out a fcpxml file, then restores the transitions. I'm doing this because the fcpxml file won't have timecode in/out info unless the transitions are removed. The Premiere project can have lots of transitions. Probably not more than a few hundred, but possibly a thousand or more. I don't see an undo limit in Premiere prefs that would put a cap on the number of undos, but I'm guessing there may be an issue here with memory? Could you folks comment generally on what might go wrong? This seems to work in my tests with lots of transitions (a hundred or so), but I'm hesitant to send this code to my client w/o checking with you guys b/c it's not ideal. I also noticed there's an "undo_stack" method in there. How do I use that method? Could I potentially pinpoint a place in the undo stack with a single command, like:
project.undo_stack(numTransitionsRemoved)
?
Cheers,
Raphael

Renaming Script - Premiere Pro
Looking for a script or a better way to rename clips within adobe premiere pro.
I don't want to actually rename the file but the clip name inside of premiere pro. All I would need it to do is to add a number to the end of any name that repeats itself.
(i.e. Interview_John_Smith_) have a script find the similar clip names and just adds numbers.
Interview_John_Smith_01
Interview_John_Smith_02
ect.
If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

QE: What is this rabbithole?
Soooo as the title asks: What is QE? There's absolutely no documentation on it, and it appears to house most of the information that we want to access, albeit not reliably.
Most importantly out of anything that I'm looking for - why is there no documentation on not just QE, but the rest of everything within Premiere's capabilities of extendscript?
A single piece of code on Github is not sufficient for a documentation substitute.
As far as the seeming instability of QE:
Consider the following code for Premiere Pro CC 2015:
app.project.activeSequence.exportAsFinalCutProXML("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\XML_Testing.xml")
app.enableQE()
var mySeq = qe.project.getActiveSequence(0)
var myTrack = mySeq.getVideoTrackAt(0)
var myClip = myTrack.getItemAt(0)
myClip.name
If I have a project open in Premiere and execute this using ExtendScript Toolkit, I receive back a myTrack object with a name of 'Wildlife.wmv'.
If I then switch to a new project in Premiere(does not contain 'Wildlife.wmv') and re-execute that same code in ExtendScript Toolkit, the myTrack object stays the same, and I don't receive a new object.
This seems hazardous at best.
Thank you.

calling exportOMF() Method using ExtendScript
Does anyone have any experience calling this method using ExtendScript? I'm trying to incorporate it into a script but so far have not been able to successfully call it. I'm assuming it needs an argument of the sequence you want to export an OMF from, but so far it keeps returning "bad argument list" whenever I try to call it with something like:
seq = app.project.activeSequence;
app.project.exportOMF(seq);
I've tried using reflect.properties but haven't been able to find anything useful. Can someone point me in the right direction for calling this method, or tell me what arguments it is expecting?
Thanks!

Is it possible to add a clip to a sequence using ExtendScript?
My job consists of making videos that follow a very specific format: add the interview clip, add the opener, lower third, outro music, copyright, make sure the audio levels are good, add a Dynamics preset, export. Over and over and over again, day after day. Growing weary of the daily grind, I looked rather extensively into the capabilities of Premiere scripting via ExtendScript. I was excited to hear that CC 2014 had expanded on its scripting capabilities, so I dove in and found out what it was capable of doing, not letting myself be deterred by the lack of documentation.
Here's what I discovered: among many other things, you can programmatically create (and sometimes modify) bins, markers, and sequences, and import clips into the project. But you can't actually put those clips into a sequence. Indeed, every Google search led me to the same point: you can do quite a bit with scripting, but you can't do that. That's where everyone gets stuck, and no one has an answer.
Is it just... not possible? If not, why come so close and yet so far with scripting? Will this be added in the future? I'm far from the only person on the interwebs who would absolutely love this ability.
Thanks!
