Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. MediaCore is a common folder for After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder to store third-party plug-in files. If you’re curious, below is the location of the folder.

Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore
macOS: HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore

Let me know if there are any other questions.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

    Hi Nishu,

    Great, thank you so much for the answer and for providing the folder path. So, is MediaCore just a shared folder, or does it also connects program components like DLL files or registry entries? If it's just a folder, then the CC App Manager shouldn't change anything in MediaCore when it downloads updates and updates CC program components, unless there's more to MediaCore than just an empty shared folder? Thanks

    You’re right, it’s not just an empty shared folder. Because this folder contains third-party plug-in files, Adobe apps need read and write access to it to load them in the program. Are you encountering an error?

    Let me know.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu
