videoMatik v0.1.3 (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 and drops the clip onto your active sequence at the playhead.

What's new in 0.1.3

• Paste = go. Pasting a link now starts the download instantly and reliably — no button press. (The DOWNLOAD button stays for manual retries.)
• Download folder/bin renamed to videoMatik (was VIDEOS) so clips never blend into your own VIDEOS folders.
• A clear "Check for updates" button in the panel — it checks the latest release and points you to the download.

Previous: 0.1.2 fixed AV1 "unsupported format" by downloading H.264; 0.1.1 added the new icon.

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.

macOS version: see the v0.1.3-macos release.
