This is the complete source-derived public action catalog for the current repository. The generator reads the same MCP registration surface used by clients, so tool names, descriptions, action enums, authority visibility, and counts stay aligned with the code. Release metadata and distributed-artifact claims remain versioned separately; this source catalog may include unreleased actions.
| Surface | Count | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Registered core actions | 328 | CEP/local server catalog; host and authority checks still apply |
| Default-profile core actions | 326 | Advertised with inspect,edit,export,filesystem |
| Restricted core actions | 2 | Require explicit unsafe-script authority |
| Authenticated UXP additions | 91 | Advertised only while a compatible authenticated UXP panel is connected |
| Default profile with UXP | 417 | 326 core plus 91 UXP tools |
tools/listis authoritative for what the current MCP session may call.get_capabilitiesreports the full registered catalog, authority decisions, backend eligibility, and any live-host verification still required.- A listed tool is not proof that a particular Premiere installation supports every host API. The authenticated UXP capability handshake and per-call preflight remain authoritative.
- CEP remains the compatibility backend. A failed UXP mutation is never automatically replayed through CEP or the undocumented QE DOM.
- Automated tests establish schemas, routing, bounds, transactions, and readback contracts; they do not replace validation in a real Premiere host.
Each core tool is one callable MCP action. “Actions or modes” records a top-level
action enum when present, otherwise other top-level enum selectors, or “Single
operation” when the tool has no enum-based mode.

detect_motion_peaks |
Default profile | Single operation | Find probable high-motion moments in a bounded local video sample from decoded frame differences. Read-only editorial candidates; camera movement, flashes, cuts, and subject motion are not semantically distinguished. |
detect_scene_edits |
Default profile | mode: apply_cuts, create_markers, create_subclips |
Safe scene-edit facade. It uses the authenticated Premiere UXP bridge when connected and explicitly confirmed; CEP fallback is intentionally withheld because synchronous scene detection can block the panel. |
detect_silence |
Default profile | Single operation | Find silent ranges in a media file and return both the silences and the complementary segments worth keeping. Analysis only — nothing in the project or on the timeline is modified. Requires ffmpeg on PATH: Premiere's scripting API exposes no audio-level or waveform data, so silence cannot be measured through the bridge. |

Capture, enrich, inspect, or clear a durable local Premiere project-context index. Capture stores bounded active-sequence/source metadata; enrich adds transcripts, shots, audio observations, or notes without re-analyzing unchanged sources. Never include secrets or unrelated customer data. |
manage_proxies |
Default profile | create, attach, toggle |
Create, attach, or toggle proxies for a project item. Note: 'create' only requests a proxy encode from Adobe Media Encoder and returns an unverified handoff. Independently verify the AME queue or output file before calling this tool again with action 'attach' and proxy_path set to the output_path you passed here. There is no single-call create-and-attach in Premiere's ExtendScript API. |

mute_track |
Default profile | Single operation | Mute or unmute an audio track |
nest_clips |
Default profile | Single operation | Unavailable on the legacy CEP backend: Premiere's documented createSubsequence API only creates a separate sequence and cannot safely replace the selected timeline clips with a nested-sequence reference. |
normalize_loudness_file |
Default profile | Single operation | Create a new loudness-normalized media derivative with FFmpeg, then remeasure that exact output using EBU R128. Never overwrites the input or an existing output file. |

plan_shot_match |
Default profile | Single operation | Compare two bounded local-media frame samples and return measured waveform/parade/saturation deltas plus coarse correction directions. Read-only planning only; it does not grade Premiere or claim that primaries alone can match the shots. |
plan_silence_review_markers |
Default profile | Single operation | Create a bounded, non-mutating review plan that maps FFmpeg-detected source-media silences onto one known 1x timeline placement. It clips candidates to the supplied source in/out span, redacts the source path, and never adds markers, cuts clips, or changes Premiere. |
play_source_monitor |
Default profile | Single operation | Request playback of the clip in the Source Monitor. The legacy API does not provide a same-call position readback, so movement is not reported as verified. |
play_timeline |
Default profile | Single operation | Request playback of the active sequence timeline through QE. The legacy API does not provide a same-call playhead readback, so movement is not reported as verified. |
preview_brand_spot |
Default profile | motion_style: none, push_in, pull_out, alternate |
Preview a brand-spot assembly from existing project items with an optional workspace-contained MOGRT overlay. Preview is local-only; it does not read or import the MOGRT file. |
preview_edit_plan |
Default profile | Single operation | Validate and preview a compound timeline edit without changing Premiere. Returns a confirmation token required by apply_edit_plan. |
preview_editorial_plan |
Default profile | Single operation | Revalidate an exact server-issued editorial plan against the saved project-context revisions and return an opaque confirmation token. This tool is read-only and cannot apply the plan. |
preview_motion_graphics_demo |
Default profile | Single operation | Preview a contained motion-graphics demo assembly from existing project items. It never creates demo assets, imports files, creates a sequence, or changes Premiere; apply requires an exact confirmation token. |
preview_product_spot |
Default profile | motion_style: none, push_in, pull_out, alternate |
Preview a product-spot assembly from existing project items. The eventual apply is limited to explicit empty tracks, revalidates item IDs, and reports host readback without claiming visual delivery verification. |
preview_project_intake |
Default profile | Single operation | Inspect a bounded Premiere project against an explicit facility intake template and return a path-redacted report plus a non-mutating organization proposal. It never changes Premiere or persists the template. |

Razor (split) all clips at the playhead position across all tracks, or at a specific time. |
read_sequence_captions |
Default profile | Single operation | Diagnose whether the active Premiere scripting host can enumerate caption tracks. It never treats an empty result as proof that the sequence has no captions, because most CEP builds expose caption creation but not caption reads. |
read_video_scopes |
Default profile | Single operation | Read waveform percentiles, RGB parade percentiles, saturation, and near-black/near-white RGB occupancy from one bounded decoded local-media frame. Read-only; this is a sampled analytical proxy, not Premiere's rendered scopes. |

replace_clip |
Default profile | Single operation | Replace a clip on the timeline with a different project item, preserving position and duration |
replace_clip_media |
Default profile | Single operation | Unavailable by design: the legacy ExtendScript overwrite route cannot prove that replacing media preserves the original clip's trim, position, linked audio, or adjacent clips, so this tool performs no mutation. |
reverse_clip |
Default profile | Single operation | Unavailable: Premiere does not expose a supported scripting API for reversing a timeline clip's playback direction. |
ripple_delete |

Default profile | Single operation | Request Adobe Media Encoder to start the render queue; reports only accepted handoff, not queue progress or output-file creation. |
stop_playback |
Default profile | Single operation | Request that active-sequence timeline playback stop through QE. The legacy API does not provide a same-call playhead readback, so stopped state is not reported as verified. |
toggle_track_visibility |
Default profile | Single operation | Toggle a video track's visibility (eye icon) |
trim_clip |
Default profile | keyframe_policy: reject, preserve |
Trim exactly one source in/out point and verify the corresponding visible timeline edge. Refuses retimed clips and, by default, trims that would leave effect keyframes outside the visible clip. |

evaluate_expression |
Requires unsafe-script |
Single operation | Evaluate a simple ExtendScript expression and return its value. Use for quick queries like checking a property, getting a count, or reading state. The expression should be a single value/call — NOT a full script. Examples: - "app.project.name" → project name - "app.project.activeSequence.name" → active sequence name - "app.project.rootItem.children.numItems" → number of root items - "app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks.numTracks" → number of video tracks - "app.version" → Premiere Pro version |

Requires unsafe-script |
Single operation | Execute custom ExtendScript code in Premiere Pro. The code runs inside an IIFE with helper functions available. IMPORTANT: You MUST write ES3 syntax (var instead of let/const, no arrow functions, no template literals, no destructuring). Available helpers (auto-prepended): - __ticksToSeconds(ticks) / __secondsToTicks(seconds) — time conversion - __ticksToTimecode(ticks, fps) — timecode string - __findSequence(idOrName) — find sequence by name or ID - __findProjectItem(nodeIdOrName) — find project item recursively - __findClip(nodeId) — find clip in active sequence, returns {clip, trackIndex, clipIndex, trackType} - __getAllClips(seq) — get all clips in a sequence - __result(data) — return success with data (MUST call this or __error) - __error(msg) — return error message - TICKS_PER_SECOND — constant 254016000000 - app.enableQE() — enable QE DOM access Your code MUST end with: return __result({...}) or return __error("message") Example: Set opacity to 50% on all video clips var seq = app.project.activeSequence; if (!seq) return __error("No active sequence"); var count = 0; for (var t = 0; t < seq.videoTracks.numTracks; t++) { var track = seq.videoTracks[t]; for (var c = 0; c < track.clips.numItems; c++) { var clip = track.clips[c]; for (var i = 0; i < clip.components.numItems; i++) { var comp = clip.components[i]; if (comp.displayName === "Opacity") { for (var p = 0; p < comp.properties.numItems; p++) { if (comp.properties[p].displayName === "Opacity") { comp.properties[p].setValue(50, true); count++; } } } } } } return __result({updated: count}); |
These tools are additive. They appear only while the local loopback UXP bridge is authenticated and the connected host advertises the required command capabilities.
| MCP tool | Availability | Actions or modes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
add_video_transition_uxp |
Connected UXP | position: start, end |
Add an installed native video transition to one unchanged video-clip edge through one undoable UXP transaction. Requires an exact inspect snapshot, serializes transition updates per sequence, and reads edge presence back; it does not prove handles, rendered appearance, or playback. |
apply_beat_markers_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Apply a reviewed beat grid as native sequence markers in one undoable Premiere 26.3+ UXP transaction, with bounded inputs and GUID/time readback for every marker. |
apply_editorial_organization_plan |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Apply selected organization recommendations through documented UXP bin transactions only. Requires the unchanged server-issued plan, its opaque preview confirmation token, and stable source/parent guards; individual host transactions may be partially committed and are never silently retried or rolled back. |
audit_object_masks_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Audit documented Object Mask presence across up to 64 Premiere sequences without changing the project. Omit sequence_ids only when the entire active project has at most 64 sequences; otherwise pass explicit exact GUIDs. The bridge double-reads the active-project identity, aggregate result, and every selected sequence result, rejecting drift instead of returning a mixed audit. It reports only yes/no presence—not mask count, location, tracking, editability, rendered pixels, or playback correctness. |
audition_source_monitor_uxp |
Connected UXP | state, open_project_item, open_file, set_position, play, close, close_all |
Open a selected project item or approved file, inspect/set position, play at bounded speed, or close Source Monitor media through documented UXP APIs. |
automate_effect_parameters_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, inspect_point_value, inspect_point_displacement, set_point_value, inspect_color_value, set_color_value, inspect_keyframe, set_value, add_keyframe, remove_keyframe, remove_keyframe_range, set_interpolation, inspect_time_varying, set_time_varying |
Inspect or transactionally set scalar effect parameters; inspect or guardedly set static PointF x/y and Color RGBA parameters; locate individual keyframes including a bounded native nearest-range lookup; adjust keyframes/interpolation; and control explicit time-varying animation mode through documented UXP actions. Disabling animation requires a complete inspected keyframe-time snapshot and confirmation. |
batch_selected_clips_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, add_effect, remove_effect |
Inspect the current timeline selection or apply one native effect add/remove across up to 64 same-type selected clips as a single compound transaction. |
calculate_tick_time_uxp |
Connected UXP | operation: add, subtract, multiply, divide |
Calculate one bounded add, subtract, multiply, or divide operation using Premiere's documented native TickTime arithmetic over canonical tick integers. It returns native ticks and seconds readback only. It deliberately does not accept seconds or frame rates, align to frames, infer timecode, inspect any Premiere project object, mutate Premiere, or prove a licensed host. |
configure_encoder_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Launch or configure Adobe Media Encoder and optionally start its queued batch using Premiere 26.3+. |
create_empty_sequence_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Create one empty/default sequence through the documented Premiere 26.3+ UXP API. This direct, non-undoable host call requires explicit confirmation and an operation_id; the host serializes capacity preflight through identity readback and replays the receipt safely. |
create_project_metadata_field_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, create |
Inspect a bounded native Project-panel schema or request one typed Project metadata field through Adobe's documented direct UXP API. Creation requires the exact inspected project GUID/XML, explicit confirmation, and a replay key; it is non-undoable and reports host acceptance plus schema-change readback without claiming field-level verification or atomic compare-and-set semantics. |
create_sequence_with_preset_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Create and verify a sequence from a preset path using the documented Premiere 26.3+ UXP API. |
create_silence_cut_source_stringout_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Create a new single-source rough-cut stringout from reviewed silence ranges using documented Premiere 26.3+ hard-bounded linked A/V subclips. It does not preserve or modify an existing edited timeline. |
create_subclip_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Create and verify a Premiere 26.3+ subclip in an undoable transaction. Prefer project_item_id; a name must resolve to exactly one media clip. |
detect_object_masks_uxp |
Connected UXP | scope: sequence, project |
Detect whether the active project or sequence contains an Object Mask using Premiere 26.3+. |
detect_scene_edits_uxp |
Connected UXP | mode: apply_cuts, create_markers, create_subclips |
Run Premiere's documented scene-edit detection on the current timeline selection using cuts, markers, or subclips. This direct host mutation is not claimed undoable. |
duplicate_track_item_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, apply |
Inspect or append one guarded duplicate of the final audio or video clip on a track using documented UXP SequenceEditor actions. Apply requires the complete source snapshot, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes with guarded slips and slides on that track, commits one transaction, and reads back only the original and appended item. It intentionally cannot duplicate into an occupied range, another track, or a linked A/V pair. It does not prove media handles, linked A/V synchronization, rendered frames, playback, persistence, or Undo behavior. |
edit_timeline_uxp |
Connected UXP | insert, overwrite, clone_selection, remove_selection, insert_mogrt_path, insert_mogrt_library |
Use the documented SequenceEditor to insert, overwrite, clone, remove, or insert MOGRT content without undocumented QE calls. |
encode_media_uxp |
Connected UXP | preflight, jobs, wait, sequence, project_item, file |
Preflight, queue, or inspect and wait for conservatively correlated AME receipts inside the approved workspace. A terminal event is not output-file verification. |
export_aaf_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Export the active sequence as AAF through Premiere 26.3+ UXP with bounded, typed AAF options. Premiere confirms the request, but arbitrary native output paths cannot be statted by the panel. |
export_frame_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Export a sequence frame through Premiere's supported UXP Exporter and verify the output file in the host panel. |
export_interchange_uxp |
Connected UXP | format: otio, fcpxml |
Export the active sequence as OpenTimelineIO or Final Cut Pro XML with explicit verification. |
get_clip_transcript_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Export Premiere's native transcript JSON for one source media clip. Returns a revision hash that must be used when previewing transcript edits. This is read-only and does not run Speech-to-Text. |

Connected UXP | Single operation | Check whether a source media clip has a transcript, preferring Premiere 26.3's documented native API when available. |
import_project_media_uxp |
Connected UXP | files, sequences, ae_comps, all_ae_comps |
Import workspace-contained media files, sequences, or After Effects compositions through documented Project APIs with post-state evidence. |
import_transcript_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Replace one source media clip's native transcript JSON through documented Premiere 26.3+ UXP APIs. Use project_guid and transcript_revision returned by get_clip_transcript_uxp, or project_guid plus a null expected_transcript_revision from has_transcript_uxp for an untranscribed clip. This destructive import requires explicit confirmation and an operation_id, serializes competing imports for the same project item, runs one undoable transaction, and reports exact bounded export SHA-256 readback rather than claiming a licensed-host result. |
inspect_caption_tracks_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Inventory native caption tracks on the active sequence through documented Premiere UXP APIs. Returns track identity, name, mute state, and item count only; it does not inspect cue text, timing, rendered appearance, or caption correctness. |
inspect_effect_parameter_catalog_uxp |
Connected UXP | media_type: video, audio |
Inspect the bounded native descriptor catalog for one effect component on one active-sequence audio or video clip. The returned parameter index and display name can be used with existing parameter automation. It returns only animation capability/state, never raw parameter values (including Color or PointF), media paths, rendered pixels, or playback results. The bridge reads the complete catalog twice and rejects a changed project, active sequence, component identity, or parameter descriptor set. |
inspect_frame_alignment_uxp |
Connected UXP | align, frame |
Use Premiere's documented native TickTime and FrameRate APIs to either align one bounded requested time down or to the nearest frame boundary, or construct the exact TickTime for one frame count. This is read-only, uses only caller-owned inputs, and returns native seconds and tick-string readback; it does not inspect a sequence, infer its frame rate, change Premiere, or prove a licensed host. |
inspect_installed_mogrt_directory_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Inspect whether Premiere exposes its documented installed MOGRT directory. The native path is redacted unless include_path is explicitly true. This tool never enumerates the directory, reads its files, imports a template, or changes Premiere; a returned path is not proof that templates are usable or compatible. |
inspect_premiere_environment_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Inspect After Effects interoperability and the active Premiere project's current and supported graphics-white luminance values through documented read-only UXP APIs. |
inspect_premiere_events_uxp |
Connected UXP | list, wait |
List or briefly wait for bounded, redacted Premiere host-event receipts without polling the complete project state. Compatible hosts can also emit timeline.snap.* receipts plus operation.clip.extend.reached and coalesced operation.effect.drag.over receipts for documented root notifications; raw event payloads are never returned. |
inspect_project_insertion_bin_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read the current Project-panel insertion bin through documented Premiere UXP APIs. Returns only the active-project GUID and insertion-bin ID, name, and type; it does not traverse project folders, reveal media paths, or change Premiere. The panel target is read twice and the command rejects a project or target change while snapshotting. |
inspect_project_panel_metadata_uxp |
Connected UXP | panel, item_columns |
Read bounded native Project-panel metadata: either the active project's panel schema or one media item's column metadata. This is read-only; it neither creates metadata schema fields nor writes Project-panel state. |
inspect_project_selection_uxp |
Connected UXP | views, selection |
List Premiere Project-panel views or inspect up to 256 selected project items without traversing the complete project tree. |
inspect_project_tree_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read a bounded, depth-limited native Project-panel tree rooted at the active project. Returns stable IDs, names, types, parent IDs, bin state, and optional color-label indexes only; it never returns media paths, metadata, or rendered media. |
inspect_project_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read a compact, revisioned project and sequence snapshot through documented Premiere UXP APIs. |
inspect_sequence_structure_uxp |
Connected UXP | media_type: all, video, audio |
Read a bounded native UXP timeline structure for one sequence: selected video and/or audio tracks with clip timing and state. Opt in to source Project-item IDs only when needed, then optionally classify those sources as sequence, merged, multicam, or offline or return their documented broad content category (any, sequence, or media); a further opt-in returns only a nested source sequence GUID when that classification is exactly sequence. No Project-panel metadata, names, type codes, paths, nested timeline content, or traversal are read. track_counts contains only the requested media types, never a zero placeholder for an unqueried type. The response is capped at 64 tracks and 512 items, omits components, rendered pixels, audio analysis, and caption cues, and is not a locked cross-object snapshot or proof of playback or editorial correctness. |
inspect_sequence_timing_by_guid_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read one known sequence's bounded native timing and backing Project-item identity, including a non-active sequence without activating it. It resolves the exact GUID through the documented Project API, requires a matching project/sequence identity after the asynchronous reads, and rejects any timing change between complete first and final snapshots. It does not modify Premiere, prove an atomic host snapshot, or validate a licensed host. |
inspect_sequence_timing_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read the active sequence's native frame size, timebase, audio/video time-display codes, and backing Project-item identity. The command rejects malformed host values or a final active-sequence mismatch; it does not modify Premiere, claim a locked snapshot, or detect a transient switch that returns to the same active sequence. |
inspect_source_media_provenance_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read selected documented source-media provenance paths for one explicit media-backed Project item. At least one explicit include flag is required before either native path is queried or returned. The command resolves the requested item through a bounded Project-item tree twice and rejects a changed project, target item, or requested path; it does not enumerate folders in its response, access the filesystem, inspect media contents or metadata, validate a path's existence, modify Premiere, prove an atomic snapshot, origin lineage, rights, persistence, or licensed-host behavior. |
inspect_source_proxy_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read documented proxy-readiness state for one explicit media-backed Project item. Proxy attachment state, offline state, and native capability booleans are read twice through a bounded Project-item tree; a native proxy path is queried and returned only when include_proxy_path is true and a proxy is reported attached. The command rejects changed project, target, or selected proxy state. It does not enumerate folders in its response, does not access the filesystem, validate a path's existence, inspect media contents, attach or relink proxy media, modify Premiere, prove an atomic snapshot, proxy compatibility, playback, persistence, Undo, or licensed-host behavior. |
inspect_track_item_identity_uxp |
Connected UXP | media_type: video, audio |
Inspect one active-sequence clip's native match name, item type, media UUID, reported track index, and selection state through documented UXP APIs. It rechecks the active sequence identity before returning and does not expose media paths, effect parameters, or rendered output. |
inspect_unique_object_identity_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Read the opaque documented Premiere unique serializable identity for exactly one existing project item or sequence, without changing the project. Select exactly one locator. The bridge independently resolves and reads the target twice, rejecting an active-project, locator, or unique-identity change rather than returning a mixed snapshot. It does not expose paths, metadata, content, timeline placement, editability, rendering, playback, persistence guarantees, or a licensed-host result. |
inspect_video_transition_uxp |
Connected UXP | position: start, end |
Read one bounded native video-transition target, including the active sequence GUID, source item ID, timeline edges, and presence at one requested edge. Copy this snapshot unchanged into add_video_transition_uxp or remove_video_transition_uxp. |
lift_selection_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Lift the current timeline selection through Premiere's documented UXP SequenceEditor. This removes selected items without ripple in one undoable transaction; transaction acceptance is not a timeline readback. |
list_markers_uxp |
Connected UXP | scope: sequence, project_item |
List Premiere markers with stable 26.3+ GUIDs from the active sequence or one source media clip. Web-link URLs/frame targets and raw marker RGBA components are returned only with explicit opt-in; URLs can contain sensitive query data, and color components are host values without a color-profile or rendered-appearance claim. |
list_video_transitions_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | List the installed native video-transition match names from the connected Premiere UXP host. |
maintain_media_health_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, refresh, set_offline, find_by_media_path |
Inspect up to 64 source media items, refresh them serially, transactionally set them offline, or find project items matching an approved media path. Native paths are redacted unless explicitly requested; opt-in media timing is read-only, bounded, and runtime-compatible. |
make_split_edit_uxp |
Connected UXP | kind: j_cut, l_cut |
Create an undoable J-cut or L-cut by extending one aligned 1x audio item while preserving source sync, with atomic UXP actions and edge/source readback. |
manage_app_preferences_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, set |
Inspect or explicitly set one of Premiere's three documented AppPreference keys. Setting is a direct, non-undoable application-state change: copy the native string returned by inspect, choose persistence deliberately, confirm the change, and provide an operation_id for replay-safe dispatch. Competing writes to the same named preference serialize and are read back exactly. |
manage_clip_effects_uxp |
Connected UXP | catalog, inspect, add, remove |
List native audio/video effects, inspect one clip's component chain, or add/remove one effect in a locked Premiere UXP transaction. |
manage_color_conformance_uxp |
Connected UXP | preflight, update |
Preflight project graphics-white/LUT/footage interpretation state, or update bounded footage-conformance fields in one undoable UXP transaction. |
manage_growing_media_uxp |
Connected UXP | status, pause, resume |
Inspect, pause under a bounded lease, or resume Premiere growing-media swaps. Pause expires within ten minutes and is resumed on ordinary panel or bridge shutdown; status is panel-local and never claims a host readback. |
manage_markers_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, add, update, remove, remove_many |
Inspect, add, update/move, remove, or explicitly review-then-remove a bounded marker batch by stable GUID using documented, undoable Premiere actions; mutations for one marker owner are serialized through preflight and readback. |
manage_metadata_uxp |
Connected UXP | get, update |
Read bounded project/XMP metadata or update either form together in one locked, undoable Premiere transaction with readback evidence. |
manage_project_panel_metadata_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or guardedly replace native Project-panel metadata. Update requires the exact inspected project GUID and XML, explicit confirmation, a replay key, local per-project serialization, and exact native readback; Premiere does not expose an atomic compare-and-set for this direct non-undoable setter. |
manage_project_sessions_uxp |
Connected UXP | list, validate, create, open, save, save_as, branch_copies, close |
List or explicitly create, open, save, branch, and close Premiere project sessions. Path writes stay inside the approved UXP workspace; Save As handle changes are read back and branch copies reopen the source after every copy. |
manage_proxy_ingest_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect_proxy, attach_proxy, get_ingest, set_ingest |
Inspect or attach proxy/high-resolution media for one clip, or read/update project ingest state. Attach operations are non-undoable and workspace-contained. |
manage_sequence_display_format_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or update a sequence's native audio/video time-display formats. Updates require the exact inspected sequence GUID and complete display-format snapshot, serialize competing updates per sequence, commit one undoable UXP transaction, and verify native readback. Cancellation is not supported after dispatch. |
manage_sequence_playhead_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, set |
Inspect or set the active sequence player position through documented Premiere UXP APIs. Setting requires the sequence GUID and current position returned by inspect, serializes competing requests for that sequence, and verifies native readback; it changes player state only and makes no project-save or Undo claim. |
manage_sequence_preview_frame_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or set one explicit sequence's documented preview-frame rectangle. Update requires the complete inspected snapshot, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes preview-frame updates by reviewed project and sequence, commits one undoable settings transaction, then reads the same sequence back. It does not set sequence video dimensions, alter media or exports, prove rendered preview output, persistence, Undo behavior, or coordinate with Premiere UI or other extensions between native calls. |
manage_sequence_range_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or update the active sequence's in, out, and zero points through documented Premiere UXP actions. Updates require the complete inspect snapshot, run in one undoable transaction, and return native readback; a runtime capability probe remains authoritative. |
manage_sequence_settings_uxp |
Connected UXP | get, update |
Inspect sequence settings or apply a bounded settings profile in one documented, undoable UXP transaction with readback. |
manage_sequences_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, create_from_media, clone, subsequence, activate, open, close, delete |
Inspect, create-from-media, clone, derive, activate, open, close, or explicitly delete sequences through documented stable UXP APIs. |
manage_source_clip_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or transactionally update source-clip in/out points and request scale-to-frame for up to 64 media items. In/out values are read back; Adobe exposes no getter for clear or scale state, so those requests remain committed-unverified. |
manage_source_media_overrides_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or transactionally set one source media item's explicit frame-rate and/or pixel-aspect-ratio override through stable Premiere 26.3 UXP actions. Updates require the complete effective-interpretation snapshot, explicit confirmation, an operation_id, per-item serialization, one undoable transaction, and native effective-value readback. Premiere does not expose an override-presence getter, so this tool cannot clear or distinguish an explicit override from matching file-native interpretation. |
manage_source_media_timing_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, set_start |
Inspect or transactionally set one source media item's timecode start through stable Premiere 26.3 UXP APIs. Setting requires the exact bounded timing snapshot, explicit confirmation, one undoable transaction, per-item serialization, and native readback. |
manage_timeline_selection_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, inspect_targets, replace, add, remove, clear |
Inspect, replace, add to, remove from, or clear the active sequence's native UXP clip selection with sequence and clip fingerprint stale-state guards. |
manage_timeline_source_label_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or set the documented source Project-item color label resolved from one active audio or video timeline coordinate. Update requires the complete reviewed snapshot, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes color-label changes by source item, commits one undoable transaction, then re-reads the coordinate and source label. A source label is project-global: another use of the same source can reflect the change. It does not label a timeline-only instance, change clip timing, prove rendered appearance, playback, persistence, or Undo behavior. |
manage_track_state_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, set_mute |
Inspect audio, video, and caption track mute state or set one media type serially with stale-state preflight and per-track readback. Adobe exposes this as direct promises, so no undo transaction is claimed. |
manage_workflow_checkpoints_uxp |
Connected UXP | has, get, set, clear |
Read or transactionally write small, namespaced workflow checkpoints on the active project or a targeted sequence. Persistent values may sync with cloud projects; never store secrets, native paths, transcripts, or media names. |
organize_project_items_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect_bin, create_bin, create_smart_bin, rename, move, set_color, remove |
Inspect a bin or transactionally create, rename, move, color-label, and remove project items with stable-ID guards. |
plan_transcript_rough_cut_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Build a revision-locked, non-mutating rough-cut plan from Premiere's native transcript and verified 1x sequence placements. The plan orders cuts from the end of the timeline, requires a duplicate sequence, and requires re-query after every mutation. |
preflight_production_storage_uxp |
Connected UXP | preflight, configure_project |
Inspect project/Production scratch disks and ingest state, or set supported project scratch categories to Premiere's symbolic destinations in one undoable transaction. |
preview_transcript_edit_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Validate and merge source-time ranges selected from Premiere's native transcript. Returns a confirmation token and never changes the timeline. Automatic timeline application remains withheld until the source-to-sequence mapping is live-host verified. |
relink_offline_media_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Relink one offline clip to a workspace-contained media path after stale-path and capability checks. This Premiere API is non-undoable and requires explicit confirmation. |
remove_video_transition_uxp |
Connected UXP | position: start, end |
Remove one unchanged native video-transition edge through one undoable UXP transaction. Requires an exact inspect snapshot, serializes transition updates per sequence, and reads edge absence back; it does not prove rendered appearance or playback. |
rename_track_uxp |
Connected UXP | track_type: audio, video, caption |
Rename an audio, video, or caption track through Premiere 26.3+ UXP in an undoable transaction with name readback verification. |
ripple_delete_track_item_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, apply |
Inspect or perform one guarded ripple delete on an audio or video timeline item using documented UXP SequenceEditor actions. Apply requires complete target and contiguous-successor snapshots, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes with guarded slips, slides, and append duplicates on that track, commits one transaction, and reads back the successor at the removed coordinate. It intentionally cannot ripple a final item, a gap, another track, or a linked A/V pair. It does not prove media handles, linked A/V synchronization, rendered frames, playback, persistence, or Undo behavior. |
save_project_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Save the active project through UXP and require Premiere to confirm success. |
search_clip_transcript_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Search Premiere's native transcript JSON without modifying the clip or timeline. |
set_source_monitor_position_uxp |
Connected UXP | Single operation | Set and read back the Source Monitor position using Premiere 26.3+ UXP. |
slide_track_item_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, apply |
Inspect or perform one guarded slide on an audio or video timeline item using documented UXP track-item actions. Apply requires the complete three-item snapshot, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes slides and source-only slips on the affected track, commits one transaction, and verifies every affected source and timeline boundary. Only contiguous forward 1x clips are supported. It does not prove source handles, linked A/V synchronization, rendered frames, playback, persistence, or Undo behavior. |
slip_track_item_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, apply |
Inspect or perform one guarded source-only slip on an audio or video timeline item. Apply requires the complete inspected snapshot, explicit confirmation, and an operation ID; it serializes slip operations per target, creates the documented source in/out actions in one undoable transaction, and reads back unchanged timeline timing plus the exact shifted source range. It supports only forward 1x clips, does not infer available media handles, and does not prove rendered frames, playback, linked-item sync, persistence, or Undo behavior. |
transform_track_item_uxp |
Connected UXP | inspect, update |
Inspect or atomically move, trim, rename, and enable/disable one audio or video track item with stale-position guards and readback. |
wait_for_host_readiness_uxp |
Connected UXP | snapshot, analysis, operation |
Capture a pre-dispatch readiness revision or wait, without retrying, for video-effect analysis or one documented operation-completion receipt. |
