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.

Depending on your operating system, you need to put the files here:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-Ins\CS6\MediaCore\
OS X: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-Ins/CS6/MediaCore/
Copy them there, and don't forget to restart Premiere Pro to have them recognized.
For other versions Creative Cloud, the folder is not CS6 but 7.0.

It didn't work for me. But it did work when I installed in another folder. That is, Go to Adobe > Adobe Premiere Pro > Plug- ins > Common
Here you will see all those transitions, effects which are seen in 'Effects' while using the program. Paste all the plug-ins there.

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

@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
