Hello Adobe team!

Is there any update on when **Hybrid Plugin** support _(UXP + C++)_ might be **available in Premiere Pro**?

Currently, it seems limited to **Photoshop** , right?

Also, **big thanks** for all the hard work you’re doing pushing the UXP API forward!

Have a nice day!

Joan

Yes, we do plan to support hybrid plugins in Premiere Pro. It’s unlikely that support will be fully implemented in our initial official release, but it remains a top request, therefore a top priority.

Thankyou Bruce!

Did any form of hybrid plugins make it into the initial release? Is it likely to show up in beta in the next couple months?

Have you tried? Download the UXP 2022 SDK for hybrids from PS developer downloads, adjust the hello world example to specify PR in the manifest. Try whether the manifest type 6 is accepted at all, that’s the breaking point.

If it works, that 2022 UXP SDK won’t give you access to the PR native API (along that “fully implemented”), but at least it provides a way to access the main thread. Anything beyond is a matter of C++ skills and non-hybrid SDK quality, e.g. it took me few days to get going in InDesign without any fancy bridging API, so to me InDesign is also as covered, not just PS.

Hybrid plugin support has been in beta builds for months now; have a go! 🙂

Seems to work! The docs misled me. For example, this one says this isn’t supported yet:

> **[Plugin manifest](https://developer.adobe.com/premiere-pro/uxp/plugins/concepts/manifest/)**
>
> Details of plugin manifest and its configuration.

I’ve been able to use hybrid C++ add-ons in PPro Beta for a while, and it works quite well. However, they do NOT seem to be supported in the current release of PPro (25.6.3) as of this reply.

@bbb_999 I know release dates are not given out, but do you think there is a possibility that C++ hybrid support will be in PPro release by Summer of ‘26?

Thanks,

Arie

As a favorite Adobe VP used to say: “It’s software; _anything_ is possible!” 😉

[_in a legalistic voice_] Adobe employees cannot comment on the release dates of unannounced features.

[_in a more helpful voice_] That sound very likely.

Are there any helpful doc (or even better some project sample) on how to create & Deploy an hybrid plugin ?
