Install the Premiere
Panel

Get the Prysmor AI VFX extension running inside Adobe Premiere Pro in under 5 minutes, no build step, no signing required for local testing.

Overview

The Prysmor panel is a Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) extension , the same technology used by Adobe-built panels. Installation requires two things: enabling debug mode (so unsigned extensions load) and copying the panel folder to the right location.

Download

Get the ZIP for your OS from the dashboard

Copy Folder

Extract and move prysmor-panel/ to the CEP extensions directory

Open Panel

Restart Premiere → Window → Extensions → Prysmor

Demo mode: This build requires no API key or login inside the panel. Click "Continue to Prysmor" and start testing immediately.

Windows Installation

Tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11 with Premiere Pro 2020–2024.

1

Enable unsigned extension loading

Open PowerShell (no admin required) and run:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Adobe\CSXS.10" -Name "PlayerDebugMode" -Value 1

If you're on Premiere 2022 or later, also run the CSXS.11 variant:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Adobe\CSXS.11" -Name "PlayerDebugMode" -Value 1

Alternatively, use Registry Editor (Win+R → regedit) and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.10, add a DWORD named PlayerDebugMode with value 1.

2

Download and extract

Go to Dashboard → Downloads and download prysmor-panel-win.zip. Extract it to get the folder prysmor-panel/.

3

Copy to extensions directory

Copy the extracted folder to:

C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions\prysmor-panel\

The AppData folder is hidden by default. In File Explorer: View → Show → Hidden items, or paste the path directly into the address bar.

The folder name must be exactly prysmor-panel.

4

Restart Premiere Pro

Fully close Adobe Premiere Pro (not just the project) and reopen it.

5

Open the Prysmor panel

In Premiere Pro: Window → Extensions → Prysmor

Click Continue to Prysmor to enter demo mode.

Windows: Registry Editor with PlayerDebugMode = 1

macOS Installation

Tested on macOS 11+ (Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma) with Premiere Pro 2020–2024.

1

Enable unsigned extension loading

Open Terminal and run:

defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.10 PlayerDebugMode 1

For Premiere 2022+, also run:

defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.11 PlayerDebugMode 1
2

Download and extract

Download prysmor-panel-mac.zip from Dashboard → Downloads and double-click to extract.

3

Copy to extensions directory

Move the prysmor-panel/ folder to:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/prysmor-panel/

Quick access: In Finder press Cmd+Shift+G and paste the path above.

If CEP/extensions/ doesn't exist, create it.

4

Restart Premiere Pro

Quit Premiere Pro completely (Cmd+Q) and relaunch it.

5

Open the Prysmor panel

Window → Extensions → Prysmor

First Use (Demo Mode)

What to expect after the panel opens.

Login screen

Shows a "Continue to Prysmor" button. No API key or password needed.

Generate VFX

Type any prompt, choose aspect ratio and duration, click Generate. A ~9-second progress animation runs.

Result card

Shows a thumbnail (SVG placeholder). Import and Insert buttons become active.

Import to Project

Calls Premiere's importFiles() on the bundled demo clip. Requires a real MP4, see below.

Insert to Timeline

Imports and places the clip at the current playhead. A sequence must be open.

Replace the demo clip: The bundled file at panel/assets/prysmor-demo.mp4 is a text placeholder. Replace it with a real H.264 MP4 (1920×1080, 4–8 sec) for Import and Insert to work.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and fixes.

Prysmor doesn't appear in Window → Extensions

  • Confirm PlayerDebugMode = 1 is set for the correct CSXS version (try both CSXS.10 and CSXS.11).
  • The folder inside extensions/ must be named exactly prysmor-panel.
  • Make sure CSXS/manifest.xml is present inside the folder.
  • Restart Premiere Pro completely after copying the folder.

Import to Project / Insert fails with 'file not found'

  • The bundled prysmor-demo.mp4 is a placeholder text file, replace it with a real MP4.
  • The panel shows the exact ExtendScript error in a red toast message.

Insert to Timeline shows 'No active sequence'

  • Open a sequence in the Premiere Timeline panel before clicking Insert to Timeline.

The panel appears blank / white

  • The manifest.xml sets --allow-file-access-from-files which is required for loading local assets.
  • Try removing and re-copying the extension folder, then restarting Premiere.
