Premiere Pro Extensions: Best CEP Panels to Supercharge Your Workflow

Boost editing turnaround times with dockable workflow panels that integrate directly into your Premiere workspace.

What Are Premiere Pro Extensions (CEP Panels)?

Unlike standard video effects that process video pixels, Premiere Pro Extensions (Common Extensibility Platform / CEP) are HTML5/JavaScript web applications that dock inside your editing window. They automate project navigation, connect to cloud asset repositories, and synchronize motion graphic templates directly with your timeline.
