Windows – put third-party plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

adobe-premieremacoswindows

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.

Best Answer

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.
