How can I add files imported into sequences using ExtendScript connection of Premiere Pro?
I really want to know the answer to this... I'm trying to create a script (in ExtendScript for Premiere Pro) that will load into the specified video files, attach them to the specified start and stop time, place it in a sequence and then export the resulting film.
I understand that Adobe has no official documentation on the scripts for Premiere Pro, so I worked from the data (in the ExtendScript Toolkit or ESTK) browser and a collection of handy references I found to links like this:
(You can replace the 'App' with other class names, but they must always be properly capitalized, as a 'Project' or 'TrackCollection'. Pages list properties and methods to the classes, and are the only place where I was able to find what kind of parameters/arguments methods expect.)
I loaded correctly in the CSV file that specifies the information required. I also know how to import video files and create a new sequence (as explained here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1177191). The pain that I am experiencing now is to get the imported files properly cut and placed in the sequence. (I see that the activeSequence has methods like setInPoint and setOutPoint, but that doesn't seem to translate into the correct trimming to export).
Here is my code (with comments to show the flow of the global script):
#target premierepro var myDir = "G:\\directoryWithVideoFiles\\"; // defined "indexOf" subfunction here // ***** begin main body of script ***** // (dataRuns has fields runName, startVideo, startTime, stopVideo, stopTime) // Import video files listed in dataRuns var vidFiles = new Array; for (i=0; i<dataRuns.length; i++) { if (indexOf.call(vidFiles,myDir + dataRuns[i].startVideo + '.MPG') == -1) { vidFiles.push(myDir + dataRuns[i].startVideo + '.MPG'); } if (indexOf.call(vidFiles,myDir + dataRuns[i].stopVideo + '.MPG') == -1) { vidFiles.push(myDir + dataRuns[i].stopVideo + '.MPG'); } app.project.createNewSequence(dataRuns[i].runName,''); } app.project.importFiles(vidFiles); // at this point, for each run (called runName) I need to: // - take a clip of the startVideo from the startTime to the end of the video // - take a clip of the stopVideo from the start of the video to the stopTime // - put clip 1 at the beginning of the associated sequence, & clip 2 right after // - export the sequence as a new video file
The example PProPanel shows how to import files and make the sequences. The missing part (from above) = there is no supported method for adding clips to sequences.
Tim, if you would, please write to me at my day job [b b b at adobe dot com] an overview of the workflow (s) you wish to support, and I can better frame.

How can I move files to memory stick using Vista
Can anyone throw any light on my new problem.
I use Windows Vista Home on my Toshiba Satellite 350 and I'm trying to save a file on memory stick.
I find the right file and click on 'send to removable disk '.I then get an "Item not found" box that contains the message, "
"Could not find this point, this point is no longer in C:\Users\Desktop.
"I (or any place seeking) check the location of the elements, and then try again.
I checked the site and I have the right pair.I tried several times with different types of files/places and I get a similar message whenever I try to move the file to anywhere, not only the memory stick
I tried dragging the files to the box and get the same message, copy and paste do not work I still get the same message?
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Are you kidding me?
You n t know how copy/move the files on the other machine?You must mark the file, and then press CTRL + X (shortened for CUP) then go on the memory stick and open it. Press CTRL + V (paste).
All that s!

How can I color tones mid in black-and-white images in Premiere Pro CS6?
Hello gurus and Adobeangels around the world
I need some help/advice, I have some images taken with Canon EOS DSLR and it is black and white with the black and white effect
(I tried the channels also, but he ended up images and especially mix very noisy)
now, I would give the video a tone and tried a color mate which works well BUT I would really black and the highlights to stay free of color so that I get a clear white in the highlights.
It's probably easy, or at least I hope right now I just don't have any idea how to get there...Thank you very much in advance
You could use the three way color corrector, adjust the saturation of the light and shadow to zero and use the midtones to adjust the color.

How can I add the same properties to the __names of a series of files
I would like to add a few properties on the front of several files. instaead clicking Rename and add them one by one, how can I add the same properties in the names of a series of files
Hello Ronke2009,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
Using the function rename in Windows results in action that you said earlier, with all records even renamed with a number appended to the end. You can get the service you are looking for with a third party tool. A good search Bing.com for these would be something like Bulk Rename Utility or editor to rename block.
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.
