/premiere-cli

Sends a command to the Premiere Bridge CEP panel and prints its JSON response. This is the general mechanism for Claude to read and act on live state inside Premiere Pro — distinct from premiere-log, which only displays text in the panel and never touches the project.

Setup (once per machine)

premiere-cli comes from the premiere-cli Python package (https://github.com/stefanwebb/premiere-cli):

pipx install premiere-cli        # or: uv tool install premiere-cli
premiere-cli install-panel          # installs the CEP panel + enables PlayerDebugMode
# restart Premiere Pro, open Window > Extensions > Premiere Bridge
premiere-cli doctor                 # verifies the whole chain
