Changes to the loading of external DLLs, by Premiere Pro and After Effects plug-ins

Some changes have been implemented in the upcoming versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which may affect how your tools interact with the application.

What's Changing:

Plugin DLLs are no longer loaded from Working Directory and SearchPath will no longer locate DLLs in the Working Directory.

What Isn't Changing:

The Working Directory is still typically set to the application directory and the application directory is always searched for DLLs first.

What This May Affect:

• Plugin Loading
• Cases when a user double-clicks a file to launch Premiere Pro or After Effects
• Cases when an application (render manager) or extension launches Premiere Pro or After Effects

If you would like to test your plug-ins in pre-release builds of Premiere Pro or After Effects, contact me directly.

Thank you for testing, and thank you for developing plug-ins for our products!
