name: edit-premiere-project description: Install, verify, inspect, edit, and export local Adobe Premiere Pro projects through the Premiere MCP Bridge. Use for project discovery, timeline edits, media ingest, effects, captions, audio, and delivery exports.

Edit Premiere Project

Operate Premiere through the premiere-pro MCP tools. Preserve the user's project state, make only requested changes, and verify each mutation with a follow-up read.

Establish A Live Session

1. Call verify_premiere_connection before editing. If it fails, stop and ask the user to start Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge (CEP) in Premiere.
2. Discover editing tools with search_tools (BM25 query or regex pattern), then invoke_tool. get_capabilities reports catalog.advertised vs catalog.tools.
3. Inspect the active project, sequence, tracks, and media before making an edit.

Editing Rules

• Prefer read-only discovery before changing the project.
• Use real imported media and concrete project item and sequence IDs.
• Ask before deleting clips, tracks, sequences, media, overwriting exports, or saving over an important project.
• For generated edits, create a clearly named sequence instead of modifying the active sequence when practical.
• Treat any success: false result as a stop condition. Run diagnostics or re-inspect state before retrying.
• Verify an edit with the narrowest relevant read tool before reporting it complete.

Setup And Recovery

Install the companion bridge on the same computer as Premiere and Codex:

npm install -g adobe-premiere-pro-mcp
premiere-pro-mcp --install-cep
premiere-pro-mcp --doctor

Restart Premiere Pro, open Window > Extensions > MCP Bridge (CEP), start the bridge, then run verify_premiere_connection.
