I have a couple of third party .plugin
files that I want to use with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. However, double-clicking them doesn't install them, nor does Adobe help give any hints on where to put them.
The Premiere Pro application folder doesn't contain a Plug-Ins directory as I remember it.
Why one folder for all programs? – JackHasaKeyboard – 2017-01-09T03:24:43.217
1Because multiple programs may need the same plugin, thinking about Premiere Pro and After Effects, for example. – slhck – 2017-01-09T14:09:48.207
is this answer obsolete or in-use still? – T.Todua – 2017-12-24T07:56:22.640
@T.Todua It was valid for CS6, not sure if it still applies to the CC version. – slhck – 2017-12-25T11:47:34.583
I just downloaded a "plugin Zip" from adobewebm by fnordware. The root folder is "AdobeWebM-master" -- with sub directories : "ext" "src" "vc" "xcode" -- Is this correct? Just drop the root directory here? – ejbytes – 2018-03-27T06:09:14.693
@ejbytes No, you should download the plugin from the official download page: http://www.fnordware.com/WebM/ — the installer takes care of everything for you and puts a

file in the correct folder, not the raw source files.It installed, but not working. Rebooted twice. – ejbytes – 2018-03-27T07:05:52.540
@ejbytes Guess it'd be better to [ask] a new question with details or file an issue in the original project. – slhck – 2018-03-27T07:28:28.560
I just realized something. Is this ONLY for export and output of webm files? I'm trying to edit a webm file in Premiere Pro CS6. Thanks. – ejbytes – 2018-03-27T09:55:29.687
1@ejbytes Yes, that seems to be for exporting only. If you want to edit these in Premiere Pro, I guess you have to convert to some (visually) lossless intermediate format. That'd be the recommended step for better performance while editing, i.e. using an intra-frame only codec like Apple ProRes or DNxHR. – slhck – 2018-03-27T12:37:19.493
Just for anyone else that comes across this - it didn't work for me for Premiere Pro CC. I wound up using the Adobe ExManCmd tool which told me the extension wasn't compatible - https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/installingextensionsandaddons.html
