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.

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-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 v0.1.4-macos release.
