Premiere UXP API

A modern extensibility platform for building Custom Tools and Features that streamline workflows in any unique Premiere environment.

Overview

UXP (Unified eXtensibility Platform) is an integration framework built into Premiere and other Adobe Creative Cloud applications. It is powered by a modern JavaScript engine and offers the ability to access many Premiere functions at a programmatic level. With UXP, you can build unique tools that integrate with and optimize the most precise, demanding workflows. These tools reduce repetition, maximize efficiency, and transform Premiere into a bespoke application tailored to the needs of any project.

Premiere adds its own APIs on top of the base UXP functionality. This website provides documentation for both APIs.
