I'm not sure if I need to use the SDK for this or not.
Basically, I want to be able to COPY many different items from Premiere, like presets, transitions, and clips... into the clipboard, one at a time, and then SAVE all of that clipboard information somewhere where it won't get overwritten when the next thing is copied onto the clipboard.
Then I'm going to program a system (probably using AutoHotKey) where any particular item can be recalled and placed back into the active clipboard, then pasted straight into Premiere like normal.
This would allow me to use custom keyboard shortcuts to instantly apply any effect I want, any transition I want, and any group of clips that I want to the timeline... incredibly easily and flawlessly.
I've tried using autohotkey's clipboardAll() function, (Clipboard and ClipboardAll) but it doesn't work for items copied in Premiere... only for text and pictures and things like that. It looks to me like Premiere has its own special clipboard that it uses for more complicated things like copying effects or clips off of the timeline.
So again, my question is, how do I access the Premiere Pro clipboard? Where is that file located in Windows? I searched through all the Premiere AppData files and I didn't see anything that looked like clipboard information... I'm not even sure if that's the right place to look.
I downloaded the SDK, but I don't see any information about the clipboard in the included help file, so I don't know if the SDK would be useful for this.
I would be so, so grateful if anyone could help me with this. I'm a video editor, not a programmer, so this stuff is not very easy for me.
