Hello everyone.

My questions concerns using a couple of Perl scripts to automate the
transfer of text information from a PC/NT Filemaker Pro database into a
video editing system called Avid which runs on a Mac.

The text information is used to create approx 200 two-line captions every
week, which are edited into a TV show and broadcast.

Currently I have a Perl script which cleans up the text, arranges it into
neat line pairs of the correct width and creates text files. These are at
the moment cut and pasted by hand into the caption editing software which
comes as part of the Avid package.

I would like to automate this process. The Avid can import PICT files, so
one idea I have is to make a Perl script to create a load of photoshop .psd
files (one for each caption), then write a Photoshop action to save them all
as PICTs.

Does anyone have any info about getting inside .psd files with Perl? I've
looked at adobe's website and they have some info, but it's not quite
specific enough.

Regards,

Jeremy Smith
