UXP for Adobe Media Encoder is in public beta. APIs and supported capabilities may change before general availability. Double-click installation is not available at launch and is expected to follow a few days later as part of the September Creative Cloud Desktop release.

Choose Where to Start

A UXP plugin has two layers. The UXP runtime provides shared platform APIs for file access, storage, and networking. The Media Encoder API (the host DOM) drives the render queue, jobs, presets, and progress. Start with the path that matches what you need.
