How to install WEBm Plug-in Manually (unable to figure this out)

Report · Feb 25, 2015

I need to export a WEBm file. (A prior thread is still unanswered)

There is a 3rd party plug-in that allows this, but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to manually install it.

fnordware/AdobeWebM · GitHub
(this is a thread posted by Adobe last year: WebM export from Adobe Premiere Pro &... - Adobe Premiere Pro | Facebook)

I have a Mac, latest OS as well as updated Adobe CC.
It says I should have a Plug-ins folder.
- I get as far as Common, and there is only a Dynamic Link folder.
- There is, however, a Plug-ins folder outside of the Common folder.
I tried to copy the bundle file into that Plug-ins folder, but it didn't work.
- also tried creating the folders Plug-ins
- then 7.0
- then MediaCore and dropped it in there, but still it didn't work
- Then I replaced 7.0 with CC, and it didn't work

(I'm not in the Users folder. It's definitely the HD Library)

Any help?

Here are the install instructions:

Installation: Copy the plug-in to the shared MediaCore directory:

Mac: WebM Premiere.bundle -> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore

Win: WebM.prm -> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCo

For older versions of Premiere, replace "7.0" with "CS6" or whateve

Usage: When installed, you'll be able to import a .webm file into Premiere.

Go to File > Export > Media and choose WebM as the format to encode WebM video.

WebM should also appear as a supported format in Adobe Media Encoder.

I am editing my post because I found the answer in another post, this works.

"Maybe you already know and have tried this, but there are two libraries on the Mac. There is the Macintosh HD/Library and there is the Macintosh HD/Users/[Home folder]/Library. Just looked at mine, and I can get to my plugins on the first library, but I don't have a plugins folder from the second."

squarepicelllc,

Did you ever figure this install out?

I've manually placed the individual packaged files in in Library>Adobe>Common>Plug-ins>7.0>MediaCore:

Presets for Premiere CC 2014.pkg

Presets for Premiere CC 2015.pkg

Presets for Premiere CC.pkg

Presets for Premiere CS6.pkg

WebM for Premiere CC.pkg

WebM for Premiere CS6.pkg

WebM Premiere.bundle

Premiere>Export displays the WebM format but none of the WebM presets show.

Where are they located in your directory?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
