Building a Premiere Pro plugin to auto-fix captions using AI : check out what i said to claudia.
Hey everyone,
I run a video production studio, and I'm building an internal Premiere Pro plugin to fix our caption workflow. Right now, our process is painfully manual, export SRT, paste into AI, fix grammar/punctuation, reimport. I want to collapse this into one panel inside Premiere.
The plugin is already working, it loads in Premiere, connects to an AI model, shows a before/after diff, and writes back corrected captions. The one thing blocking full automation is reading the caption track directly from the active sequence.
Specifically I need to:
- Read all caption cues + timestamps from the active sequence's caption track
- Without the user having to manually export an SRT first
I've tried via CEP/UXP but Premiere's API doesn't seem to expose caption tracks for reading. Plugins like Auto Cut clearly do this, so it's possible, but I can't figure out how they're accessing it.
Questions:
- Is this possible via ExtendScript? If yes, what's the API call to read caption cues from the active sequence?
- Is there a CEP/UXP method I'm missing?
- Did anyone get Adobe Exchange Partner access specifically for deeper caption API access?
The second part of the plugin applies Frame-io review feedback automatically to captions using AI, so if that sounds useful to anyone else building editorial tools, lemme know if a tool like this would help you in your workflow?
Any help appreciated.
