Plug-in & Integrations · Port Premiere Pro CEP Plugins to UXP
Upgrade your CEP Extensions to the fast, modern UXP.
CEP extensions run a full Chromium browser (CEF) inside Premiere Pro, causing memory bloat and slow load times. We migrate your legacy CEP/ExtendScript plugins to lightweight UXP panels that run natively.

Our Approach
Port Premiere Pro CEP Plugins to UXP: Our Proven Process
01
Analyze
We assess your CEP plugin, identifying Node.js dependencies and complex ExtendScript calls that need UXP equivalents.
02
Re-Architect
We design the new architecture, replacing the CEP/ExtendScript bridge with direct UXP DOM interactions.
03
Develop
We build the new UI in React with Spectrum components and rewrite the business logic in modern JavaScript.
04
Test
Comprehensive testing to ensure your new UXP plugin is faster, leaner, and functionally identical.
05
Launch
We package your new UXP plugin into a .ccx file and assist with Adobe Exchange distribution.

Adobe has clearly stated that UXP is the future of extensibility. While CEP still works, new features are being developed for UXP, and CEP will eventually be deprecated. Migrating now is the smart move.
Yes. CEP runs a full Chromium browser (CEF) inside Premiere Pro, which consumes significant memory and CPU. UXP is a lightweight, native rendering engine, resulting in much faster load times and snappier performance.
UXP uses a modern, unified JavaScript DOM. In most cases, we completely rewrite your legacy ExtendScript logic into modern UXP JavaScript, eliminating the slow and clunky bridge between the panel and the host app.
Often, yes! If your CEP panel was already built with React, we can reuse a lot of the UI logic. We will likely swap out your UI library for Adobe Spectrum components to ensure a native look and feel.
No, UXP does not embed Node.js for security and performance reasons. However, UXP provides native APIs for networking (fetch) and file I/O that cover most use cases.
Typically 4 to 10 weeks, depending on the complexity of your ExtendScript and the extent of Node.js dependencies.
Yes. We package the final plugin into a .ccx file and can manage or assist with the entire Adobe Exchange approval process.
Yes. UXP fully supports standard web fetch requests, allowing seamless integration with your internal databases or cloud services.
