Request for Complete Premiere Pro C++ SDK

Dear Adobe Developer Support,

I am currently developing a professional-grade plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro using C++. I have downloaded the SDK packages labeled for 2022, 2023, and 2024 from the Adobe Developer site. However, these SDKs appear to be incomplete — specifically, they do not contain essential header files such as PrSDKPlugPlug.h and PrSDKPlugin.h, which are required for building native effect plug-ins using the classic C++ API (not UXP or CEP).

It seems that recent public SDK versions only contain sample projects or partial UXP/JavaScript resources, and not the full set of headers and libraries required for native C++ development.

Therefore, I kindly request access to the complete C++ Premiere Pro SDK, including all core header files and libraries necessary to build and integrate a fully functional native plug-in.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide either:

  • A direct download link to the full SDK package, or

  • Instructions on how to obtain the complete version officially.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,

That's not the case.

The C++ SDK is complete, and used without issue by our C++ plugin developers. [Also, the C++ SDK does not contain any CEP or UXP resources.]

Neither of the header file names you mention exist, across either the PPro or AE codebase. 

What type of plugin are you trying to develop?

Many Premiere Pro plugins use the After Effects SDK — 
They may need the Premiere Pro headers.
It's available at the Adobe Developer portal:
