Changelog

Premiere Pro v26.2.0

UXP Hybrid Plugin Support

Premiere Pro now officially supports UXP Hybrid Plugins, allowing developers to extend their UXP plugins with native C++ libraries. Hybrid plugins enable performance-critical workloads—such as audio/video processing, ML inference, and integration with native SDKs—to run as compiled code alongside the JavaScript-based plugin UI and logic.

• UXP Hybrid Plugin SDK: download from the Adobe Developer Console. The SDK provides C++ headers, utilities, and templates for building native addons (.uxpaddon files).
• New documentation: Overview, Building Hybrid Plugins, and FAQ.

Premiere Pro v25.6.0

Official Release of UXP extensibility in Premiere Pro

New Features

Premiere Pro's UXP APIs are approaching parity with what was previously possible, via CEP and ExtendScript. While the sample plugins don't (yet) exercise every call or listen to every message, the infrastructure is in place; we will continue to expand and improve the samples.

Documentation update

• Comprehensive overhaul across the entire documentation site.
• New distribution section including guides covering Adobe Marketplace submission, enterprise and independent distribution, packaging, installation, listing creation, and review guidelines.
• Expanded tutorials and recipes featuring major new content on modal dialogs, panels, TypeScript support, filesystem operations, external processes, and inter-plugin communication.
• Content reorganization with streamlined navigation, consolidation, and complete rewrites.
• New Premiere API Reference updated to v25.6.
