I have been searching for months on end trying to find decent plugins for Premiere Pro CS. This is the only place that is near appropriate as far as I know to post this. If you have a repository or if there is a site of working plugins that are free for Premiere Pro please share the links, thankyou.

    I'd start with the PrPro SDK, and also look in on that FORUM. Lot of interesting work being done out there.

    Good luck,

    Hi LoopStan,

    As Bill said, there is an SDK for Premiere Pro, with many different plug-in types.  But for effects plug-ins in particular, you'll see in the Premiere Pro SDK that it is recommended to use the After Effects SDK for cross-product compatibility with both Premiere Pro and After Effects.  So if it's effects plug-ins you're interested in, you can grab the AE SDK here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects.html

    And the AE SDK forum is here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion/aftereffects_sdk  That forum covers using the AE SDK to build plug-ins for both AE and PPro.

    Enjoy,

    Zac

    Since PPro5 is brand new (new code to make it 64bit) that means everything has to be rewritten to work

    You might ask in http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_current/sdk

    So none of them will work? or are there ones that are able to work on older versions of it but still compatible with CS5? Because I found one package with like 5 effects and it worked. I just read that some after effects plugins are also compatible with premiere so i'll try that also. I'm just aiming it build up a collection of plugins since I'm an effects man.

    Well I've had premiere for some time now, so I got my way around I'm just looking into expanding. But yes, I will have to be extra nice to my uncle xD. Thanks for the help and information.


    Hi there,

    Here are a few free plug-ins for Premiere Pro CS5:

    Red Giant Quick Looks Limited - http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/downloads/quick-looks-limited/

    Cartoonr  from NewBlueFX - http://www.newbluefx.com/

    Sometimes  BorisFX gives away single effects as Continuum Units.  You can subscribe to their newsletter to be notified when any become available.

    For  Mac only, Omino Suite - http://omino.com/pixelblog/omino-ae-plugins/ - These have only been tested with AE as far as I know.  So your mileage may  vary in PPro.

    Cheers,

    Zac
