Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index.ts:1750-1772 (handler)Primary handler function for the 'export_sequence' tool. Determines export preset and delegates rendering to the PremiereProBridge.private async exportSequence(sequenceId: string, outputPath: string, presetPath?: string, format?: string, quality?: string, resolution?: string): Promise<any> { try { const defaultPreset = format === 'mp4' ? 'H.264' : 'ProRes'; const preset = presetPath || defaultPreset; await this.bridge.renderSequence(sequenceId, outputPath, preset); return { success: true, message: 'Sequence exported successfully', outputPath: outputPath, format: preset, quality: quality, resolution: resolution }; } catch (error) { return { success: false, error: `Failed to export sequence: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, sequenceId: sequenceId, outputPath: outputPath }; } }
- src/bridge/index.ts:291-304 (helper)Low-level helper that executes ExtendScript to render the sequence using Premiere Pro's encoder.encodeSequence.async renderSequence(sequenceId: string, outputPath: string, presetPath: string): Promise<void> { const script = ` // Render sequence var sequence = app.project.getSequenceByID("${sequenceId}"); var encoder = app.encoder; encoder.encodeSequence(sequence, "${outputPath}", "${presetPath}", encoder.ENCODE_ENTIRE, false); JSON.stringify({ success: true }); `; await this.executeScript(script); }
