Wanna do it all yourself?
I mentioned in a previous post that I want this site to be a reliable resource for ANYONE to gain knowledge on how to script within Premiere. To some people, watching Youtube videos with me talking is not the ideal learning situation, so here is a page for you. I am going to give you all the resources I found to start with, and if you will learn and devlop better with a DIY approach, more power to you. Here ya go!
Adobe CEP – Github
The main source of knowledge, though it it spread out through the file structure. Not just limited to Premiere, the information here could get you all the info you need, if you have the patience to dig around. Enter the samples folder to get ideas, and see how Adobe developers have used this HTML5 framework, or enter the CEP-Resources for just about all the documentation Adobe has ever provided on this subject.
Adobe Premiere SDK Developer’s Forum
Ask questions, get answers. The individuals on this forum are amazing in both knowledge and speed. There is a wealth of knowledge to learn from them.
Methods and Classes – Documentation
The Extendscript Toolkit App can be used to find out this information as well, but this is the only online resource that I could find that documents the classes and methods that can be used in Premiere scripting, and the inheritance associated. WARNING: This doesn’t seem entirely up-to-date.
A Short Guide to HTML5 Extensibility
Learn what goes into an HTML5 extension, which can be built to extend the functionality of many Creative Suite Applications.
Adobe Exchange
Would you like to see what extensions people have created? or maybe you want to see if your brilliant idea is already created, saving you hours of work? How about taking your personal tool and making it available to other Adobe users just like you? This is the place to do it.
Eclipse-Based Extension Builder
If you have previous knowledge using the Eclipse IDE, this may be an interesting route you could take. While no longer recommended by Adobe, Extension Builder 3 is an Eclipse-based developer tool. If you have the experience and know-how, it could make your life a lot easier (or more difficult, IDK, I don’t have the know-how).
GOOGLE
If you’re going this route, your going to have to look some stuff up.
