This issue is the same as #13 , it should have been solved by https://github.com/qmasingarbe/pymiere/commit/45565bc75abb08b644a8e2a3cd02d5ebb873cf6d Can you confirm that ?

Hi Quentin - yes that seems to have solved #13 and #19 in simple projects but revealed another issue:

Track : Lower 3rd name Graphic Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "D:\Pete's Data\OneDrive\Python Scripts\pymiere\pymiere\wrappers.py", line 88, in list_video print("path", clip.projectItem.getMediaPath()) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getMediaPath'

I THINK this relates to the recently (2020) introduced "Essential Graphics" where you can create text and simple After Effects style elements directly in Premiere. They don't actually create a file and I believe they are just stored in memory as part of the .pproj file, which would explain why there's no value for MediaPath. Perhaps this can be fixed with simple error handling and giving it a default value of None (or the filename of the active .pproj file)?

[PFython]

or does this simple fix work?

print("path", str(clip.projectItem.getMediaPath()))

or:

print("path", clip.projectItem.getMediaPath() or pymiere.objects.app.project.name)

which will default to the .pproj filename if clip.projectItem.getMediaPath() is None

Thanks for the clue about the Essential Graphics, I implemented a fix in https://github.com/qmasingarbe/pymiere/commit/34db7d2a50c4a2a8ea11fe376c9fd9f2522aa658
