Subject: [AE] Scripting: controlling ACR options when importing footage?

Hi everyone,

when I import some footage that is using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) a dialog pops up where I can set the details of the raw import.

While this is certainly desired when importing footage manually, its a no go when I try to import hundreds of clips automatically with a script. Is there any way to control the ACR settings inside a script and to suppress the dialog?

Here is the code I am using. Unfortunately the importOptions object has no settings documented for ACR.

----------------------------------
var footageFile = new File("D:\\test000000.dng");
var importOptions = new ImportOptions(footageFile);
importOptions.sequence = true;
importOptions.importAs = ImportAsType.FOOTAGE;

var footageItem = app.project.importFile(importOptions);
// now the ACR dialog is presented to the user... :-(
----------------------------------

Is there any hope I can apply some ACR import preset automatically and suppress the dialog?

Cheers,
Mathias
