Automate Adobe Premiere Clip Exporting
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
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.
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:

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: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/master/PProPanel/ReadMe.md
and https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/introduction/how-to-execute-scripts.html
"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.
