Hello, everyone!.

I hope everyone is well.

I'd like to convert a after effect plugin to premiere plugin. Is it possible and easy?

If so, how can I convert simply it?

Thanks.

Igor.

Hi Igor.

AE and premier use roughly the same API for plug-ins. so an AE plug-in can

be used as-is in premier as long as:

1. it supports the old "render" and "frame setup" calls, and not only the

SmartFX "smart render" and "pre-render" calls, as premier doesn't support

SamrtFX. (a plug-in can support both in parallel)

2. the plug-in doesn't use any of the AEGP suites, which premier doesn't

support.

if both criteria are met, your AE plug-in should be good for use in

premier.

Also, I am not sure if this is still relevant, but some years ago (CS6 times?), you had to support Premiere Pro's BGRA pixel format in addition to AE's ARGB, but as I said, things might have changed now.

Thanks. Shachar.

One more question.

Can I use script on Premiere Pro like After Effect?

my strong suite.
