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,
