videoMatik v0.1.4 (macOS · Apple Silicon)

videoMatik — download videos from any link straight onto your Premiere Pro timeline (Premiere Pro 2026+) · macOS version

Paste a video link and it downloads and drops the clip onto your active sequence at the playhead.

REQUIREMENT: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) Mac. Intel Macs are not supported.

What's new in 0.1.4

• Download progress bar with live percentage and speed, so it's obvious the download is running (with a moving stripe while it starts and while merging).

Recent: 0.1.3 renamed the folder/bin to videoMatik + hardened paste-to-start + added the update button; 0.1.2 fixed the AV1 "unsupported format" error (downloads H.264); 0.1.1 added the new icon.

Install

1. Download and unzip videoMatik-mac.zip.
2. Double-click Install videoMatik.app — first launch takes 10–20 s while macOS verifies it; that's normal.
3. Approve the plugin install in the Creative Cloud window that opens.
4. Restart Premiere Pro ▸ Window ▸ Extensions (UXP) ▸ videoMatik.

Signed and notarized by Apple — no security warnings. Already installed? Just run the installer again; it replaces the helper and panel cleanly.

Windows version: see the v0.1.4 release.

videoMatik v0.1.4 (Windows)

videoMatik — download videos from any link straight onto your Premiere Pro timeline (Premiere Pro 2026+) · Windows version

Paste a video link and it downloads and drops the clip onto your active sequence at the playhead.

Install

1. Download and unzip videoMatik-windows.zip.
2. Double-click INSTALL.bat (if SmartScreen warns: More info → Run anyway).
3. Restart Premiere Pro completely.
4. Window ▸ Extensions (UXP) ▸ videoMatik.

⚠️ Cross-compiled, not yet runtime-tested on Windows. The bundled videomatik-sidecar.exe was cross-compiled from macOS (Rust x86_64-pc-windows-gnu via cargo-zigbuild) and is a valid PE32+ binary, but I have no Windows machine to run it on. The Rust source is identical to the fully-tested macOS build; only #[cfg]-gated paths differ. If the helper misbehaves, rebuild it natively on Windows with cargo build --release in videomatik-sidecar/ and re-run scripts/make-share-package.ps1. The bundled yt-dlp.exe, ffmpeg.exe, ffprobe.exe, and deno.exe are official upstream Windows builds.

The Windows release bundles a GPL ffmpeg build (yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds). Unsigned — click through SmartScreen once.

videoMatik v0.1.2 (macOS · Apple Silicon)

videoMatik — download videos from any link straight onto your Premiere Pro timeline (Premiere Pro 2026+) · macOS version

Paste a video link into the panel and it downloads and drops the clip onto your active sequence at the playhead.

REQUIREMENT: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) Mac. Intel Macs are not supported.

What's new in 0.1.2

• H.264 downloads for editor compatibility. YouTube's true "best" video is usually AV1/VP9, which many Premiere builds reject with "unsupported format." videoMatik now downloads the best H.264 (avc1) + AAC and remuxes to MP4 (still no re-encode) — Premiere always decodes it. Trade-off: YouTube H.264 tops out at 1080p, so 1440p/4K sources come down at 1080p.
• New download-glyph icon (from 0.1.1).

Install

1. Download and unzip videoMatik-mac.zip.
2. Double-click Install videoMatik.app — the first launch can take 10–20 seconds while macOS verifies it; that's normal.
3. Approve the plugin install in the Creative Cloud window that opens.

videoMatik v0.1.0 (macOS · Apple Silicon)

videoMatik — download videos from any link straight onto your Premiere Pro timeline (Premiere Pro 2026+) · macOS version

Paste a video link into the panel and it downloads at original quality (best video + audio, merged into MP4 without re-encoding), imports into a VIDEOS bin, and inserts the clip into your active sequence at the playhead.

REQUIREMENT: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) Mac. Intel Macs are not supported.

3. Approve the plugin install in the Creative Cloud window that opens.
4. Restart Premiere Pro ▸ Window ▸ Extensions (UXP) ▸ videoMatik.

Everything is signed and notarized by Apple — no security warnings at any step. The installer copies the helper to ~/Library/Application Support/videoMatik/, pre-launches it (so the Gatekeeper cold-start happens now, not on your first download), and opens the panel .ccx.

Verified on this release

• Signed with Developer ID Application, notarized + stapled (helper .app and installer applet — two submissions).
• spctl -a --type exec → accepted, source=Notarized Developer ID on both, with a quarantine xattr set.
• Full installer run: helper lands in ~/Library/Application Support/videoMatik/, answers /health, and a real YouTube download produced an MP4 at the source's best resolution (checked with the bundled ffprobe).

Windows version: see the v0.1.0 release.

videoMatik — download videos from any link straight onto your Premiere Pro timeline (Premiere Pro 2026+) · Windows version

4. Window ▸ Extensions (UXP) ▸ videoMatik.

INSTALL.bat copies the helper to %LOCALAPPDATA%\videoMatik, copies the panel to a versioned folder under %APPDATA%\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\External\, and registers it in Premiere's UXP plugin registry. UNINSTALL.bat removes both.
