Adobe Effects Pasting Extension

Tech Stack: ExtendScript, C++, Visual Studio Code, Github, Adobe API

The Project

I started this project because I am a part time editor for a couple of Dutch Youtubers and I try to make the video‘s the best and fastest I can. But there‘s still a lot of room for improvement. I started thinking of my biggest problems while editing and I realized that one of the longest parts of the editing process is constantly making/pasting effects. Therefore I am making extensions using the tools Adobe has built.

Features

I want the extension to have a nice UI so it looks professional, I want the extension to be integrated into the Premiere Pro application, I want the extension to be fast acting (no external applications/functionality), I want the user to be able to select a group of clips and use paste them later on by using a single key press.

Status Of The Project

I am currently battling with the extension development because of the lacking documentation provided by Adobe. I have been searching all over the internet to find examples and documentation... Apart from that I have the technical design and a runnable application that I can use in Adobe Premiere Pro.

End Goal

My end goal with this project is to increase my editing efficiency greatly so that I can take on more work and increase my income. Apart from that I would also like to be able to sell this extension when it is finally in a state is acceptable to pay for, so I can make a little side income.
