I've found that you can create you own custom plugins for Premiere on Mac.

Is it possible somehow on Windows? I have a bold idea for one,but without knowledge of C++

seems like it's not really possible to implement

Here is the Mac FxFactory example (How cool is that!):

As BBB said, the PPro SDK is the foundation for plug-in development for both Mac and Win.  Seems like you are looking for an effects platform that doesn't require knowledge of C++.

Besides FxFactory as you mentioned, another one that comes to mind, but is not quite yet available, is Red Giant Supernova.  This one will likely be cross-platform.  You can Google "Red Giant Supernova" to learn more about it.  And here's the current way to request developer access if you're interested in pursuing it further:

Yes, the goal is to make a custom UI plugin without knowledge of C++

I definitely will check that out!

Thank you, Zac!

Seems like GenArts Sapphire 8 will have a Builder to create custom effects and transitions!

The video you posted refers to Apple-specific Quartz technology which, while cool, almost certainly won't work on Windows.

The same PPro SDK used to make Mac plug-ins, also shows how to make Windows plug-ins.
