Adobe Premiere scripting

Question

I want to automate a sequence of task on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, thats all repeating tasks, and while doing manually consumes lots of time, :) that stars from: importing video file, image files, doc file-> making a sequence -> adding files on sequence with predefined height , width-> inserting scripts -> analyzing them -> adding marks on particular word on metadata-> and finally exporting it..

I want to make all these task automatically done with some scripts on adobe premier pro or anythign else...

Premiere is scriptable, as are the other Adobe Creative Suite apps, using their Extendscript API. Extendscript uses javascript. There's an official Adobe IDE for it called Extendscript Toolkit, that has a script editor, debugger and a object model viewer.

There's one problem, for premiere the documentation is perplexingly scarce. It's a pity, because for other programs like After Effects there is a thriving community of developers doing amazing stuff with extendscript.

The Adobe Javascript guide is here and some class information specifically for Premiere can be found here.
