videoMatik v0.1.1 (Windows)

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

What's new in 0.1.1

• New app/panel icon — a clean download glyph (arrow into a tray) that reads clearly as "download video".

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 do not have a Windows machine to run it on. The Rust source is identical to the fully-tested macOS build; only #[cfg]-gated paths differ (console-suppression flag, .exe names, bin subdir). 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 the official upstream Windows builds.

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

macOS version: see the v0.1.1-macos release.
