Premiere Pro plugin

The Aspect plugin brings Aspect into a panel inside Premiere Pro. Browse and review your projects, bring assets into a bin, export sequences for review, and see reviewer comments appear as markers on your timeline. The plugin works alongside the Aspect desktop app, which installs it and keeps it up to date. It requires Premiere Pro 2026 (version 26) or later.

​

Install the plugin

The desktop app updates the plugin whenever it updates itself.

​

Find your way around

The panel works like the Aspect app. Switch between two tabs at the top:

• Browse: your projects, folders, and assets. Play, review, comment, share, sort, and organize just as you would in the desktop app.
• Canvas: generate images and videos with AI. Generated media is saved in your project’s Aspect Stash folder, so you can import it into a bin like any other asset. See Choose a model.

Above the tabs, the sequence strip shows the sequence you are working on. Below them, the project bar holds the transfer list, the mount button, and the More menu (⋮).

​

Search

Open More (⋮) in the project bar and choose Search to search the project, including AI Search. The video under Bring assets into Premiere Pro shows a search through to the timeline.

​

Sync comments to your timeline

First, export your sequence to Aspect to link it to an asset, or link it to a matching asset by hand. While a sequence is linked and the panel is open in its project, the open comments on the version you last exported appear as markers on the sequence. Each marker is named for the commenter, and new comments, edits, and resolutions in Aspect update the markers within moments.

• Blue markers are Aspect’s. Aspect adds, updates, and removes them. Your own markers are never changed.
• Sync goes one way, from Aspect to Premiere Pro. Reply to and edit comments in Aspect. Replies stay in Aspect.
• Comments line up with your timeline. A comment without a timestamp sits at the start of the sequence, and comments on an In to out export sit where that range is in your sequence.

​

Clear a comment from your timeline

• Delete the marker in Premiere Pro. The comment stays open in Aspect but no longer syncs to your timeline.
• Resolve the comment in Aspect. Its marker disappears. Reopen the comment to bring the marker back.

To bring back a comment whose marker you deleted, resolve and reopen it in Aspect, or turn comment sync off and on.

​

Turn comment sync off and on

Choose Turn off comment sync from the strip’s ⋮ menu to remove Aspect’s markers from the sequence. Choose Turn on comment sync to bring back every unresolved comment. Turning it off and on also shows which markers are Aspect’s.

​

When you export a new version

With Upload markers as comments on, every marker on your timeline becomes a comment on the new version, including Aspect’s markers for comments you have not addressed. Delete the markers you have dealt with before you export. A marker Aspect no longer follows turns green and stays on your timeline as your own. This happens when the new version does not include it: it lies outside an In to out range, or you exported with Upload markers as comments off.

​

The active sequence

The sequence strip follows the active sequence in Premiere Pro. Before its first export it shows the sequence’s name with (not yet exported). Once exported, it shows the Aspect asset the sequence is linked to, with its version. Select the asset to open it for review. Open the strip’s ⋮ menu for the sequence actions:

• Share: share the linked asset.
• Open in upload location: go to the folder the asset is in.
• Turn off comment sync or Turn on comment sync: see Sync comments.
• Unlink active Premiere sequence: see Link a sequence by hand.
• Other sequences: list the other sequences in your Premiere project, with what each is linked to. Select one to open it and make it active.

Hide the strip with the arrow at its right; bring it back with the arrow beside the tabs.

​

Export a sequence for review

When you finish an edit, export the sequence to Aspect from the panel. The first export creates a new asset; each later export adds a new version to it. Exporting links the sequence to the asset, which starts comment sync. A typical review round:

1. Export the sequence and share it.
2. Reviewers’ comments appear as markers on your timeline.
3. Address each note, then delete its marker or resolve the comment in Aspect.
4. Export again as a new version, and repeat.

If you already have a sequence in progress, export it from the panel before you rely on comment sync. Each sequence should link only to an asset exported from it.

​

Link a sequence by hand

Exporting links a sequence for you, and is the recommended way to link. If the sequence already matches an asset someone else uploaded, you can link it yourself: in Browse, open the asset’s menu and choose Link to active Premiere sequence. The sequence follows that asset’s comments, and its next export becomes a new version of it. Link only an asset rendered from this sequence. Comments sync at the times they were left on the asset, so on a different cut they land in the wrong places. If the sequence already has markers matching the asset’s comments, Aspect takes them over rather than adding duplicates. To unlink, choose Unlink active Premiere sequence from the strip’s ⋮ menu. Unlinking or relinking removes Aspect’s markers from the sequence; your own markers stay.

​

Bring assets into Premiere Pro

In Browse, select one or more assets, open the menu, and choose Import to bin. The assets go into the bin selected in Premiere Pro’s Project panel. Choose how to bring them in:

• Directly from mount: Premiere Pro uses the files on your mounted project, with no separate download.
• Download then import: choose a folder, and the files download there before they are imported.

​

Import directly from the mount

When your project is mounted, its files appear in Finder or File Explorer like a network or external drive. Importing from the mount puts them in your bin right away, without downloading a copy first. To mount from the panel, select the drive button in the project bar. The desktop app must be running and signed in to the same account. Only the latest version in a version stack can be imported from the mount.
