I need assistance with an Adobe Premiere project file. The task is to import the project file and run a script that will automatically export all individual clips from the timeline.
To be clear, a batch script would be fine, but in the end, I need all the clips that are on the timeline to be exported and put into a folder, all individual files, for each clip, in an MP4 format. So, I want to import the project file into Adobe Premiere, see the timeline with all the clips, and then somehow run the script, which will take each individual clip from the timeline and put export it, either one by one, or by batch, and put them in a folder. I need help installing these apps, building the script, and running the script, so I can use this in the future.
Requirements:
- Use Adobe Extendscript to run the script
- Export all clips in MP4 format
- Use default settings for all exports
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficient in Adobe Premiere and Extendscript
- Experience with video file exporting
- Familiarity with MP4 format and default settings.
There is a thread that talks about this. I'll put it here below for you to see my issues. I need this script working on my PC.
Chat Thread ##
I've been playing around with ChatGPT lately and asked if I could make automation scripts for Adobe Premiere. Sure enough, it said it could and after another prompt it whipped up a script that automates the export of individual clips in the timeline.
When asked how to use this script, it said to go to File > Scripts > Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC but I don't see "Scripts" under the "File" menu. Looking around online, I see lots of info on scripts, but I can't find any up-to-date answers. Does scripting still exist in Premiere? Or has this feature been removed?

Scripting is still there, but the built-in editor is long dead.
Instead you use VS Code and the Adobe ExtendScript debugger:
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
I found that it gave a great answer when I asked it to help me code a CEP panel. Bruce said it's fine.
In Premiere, as far as I'm aware, you have to build a panel to include your script inside. The key resources for this are: [login to view URL]
and [login to view URL]
"CEP Panels" are the terminology that got me there. Maybe it's wrong and there's an easier way, but I haven't found it.
