Getting started

Set up once, then work from the Manager.

The Manager is the home for setup, your plugins and Community browsing. Follow this workflow from installation through creation and refinement.

View download status

Download and install the Manager

The public Manager will be available without an account.

Let PluginOS prepare dependencies

Follow the setup checks in the Manager instead of installing supporting components manually.

Connect Claude Code or Codex

PluginOS works alongside one of these tools. You provide an eligible subscription or API billing separately.

Create or install a plugin

Describe the tool you need, or browse the Community and install a useful starting point.

Restart the Adobe application

Reopen After Effects or Premiere Pro so the new or updated plugin is loaded.

Use it, then refine it

Select the plugin in the Manager and describe any feature, behavior or design you want changed.

Troubleshooting

Start with the Manager’s status.

The Manager is designed to make dependency, installation and account state visible. Detailed diagnostics will be documented against the public build.

A new plugin is not visible

Finish the installation in the Manager, then fully restart After Effects or Premiere Pro.

Setup is incomplete

Return to the Manager and complete any dependency or permission step it reports.

Your account session has expired

Start sign-in from the Manager again and complete the browser authentication flow.

A Community item will not install

Confirm that it supports your Adobe application and use the Manager for installation rather than the website.
