I’m setting my system up to start creating a UXP plugin for Premiere Pro. I’m following this developer guide to get started:
This page states that UXP is available from version 25.2 onwards (it does NOT state that it needs to be Beta). I’m trying to use UDT to connect my plugin to Premiere pro (while having PPro open), but it’s not showing up on UDT. The only way I’m able to connect both apps is by using PPro Beta, Which is currently in Version 25.4.0.
Could someone clarify if this means that non-beta users (PPro V25.2.x) will not have access to the plugins that I create and share on the marketplace? I would need my plugin to be available to anyone who wants to use it on their current Premiere Pro installation.
Update on this question: I did not get a response through the forums, but someone at my company was able to get in touch with Adobe people to help clarify this some time ago.
From what I understand, UXP is going to remain only on beta versions, so that means the beta app (regardless of version number) is the only way to access UXP plugins for now. They will make an announcement once this changes.
I ended up building my plugin in the older CEP framework, since I needed it to be generally available for download. My approach was to use a relatively newer frontend stack, and keep all of the CEP logic abstracted into its own module, so I can replace it with UXP once it’s GA. Hope this helps people with the same issue.
