PlumePack

You update the same way you installed ! Our installer will remove the previous version automatically.  Please go to our Download page

We have an official uninstaller given in the downloaded .zip !  Please go to our Download page

This feature will be added in a future version. For now you can use this workaround: create a Temporary Sequence and import inside all the sequences you want to select. Then in PlumePack select this Temporary Sequence as the Main sequence and launch the process."

You can find all of this info on the Overview of PlumePack page. Also, don't forget to regularly check for updates and read the Changelog of PlumePack !

Please download and install the latest Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable. Here's a direct a to vc_redist.x64.exe : download, double click on it and pursue installation.

On Windows you should run your cmd.exe or Powershell in Administrator Mode, then run PlumePack installer executable with the /S argument, for example in Powershell : ./"PlumePack v1.0.0 Installer.exe" /S if you're in the extracted folder from the downloaded zip. Same goes for the uninstaller but you'll also need to specify the -Uninstall_PlumePack argument.
If you want to be sure that the installer / uninstaller exit automatically without user confirmation you should run the .exe like this instead start "Autokroma" /wait /b "PathToInstallerOrUninstaller.exe" /S

If you also need a command line installer for macOS, please contact us and tell us !

Our installers are not viruses, but some AntiVirus software (Windows Defender, Norton AV, McAfee, Bitlocker etc.) sometimes produce false positive because of their probabilistic detection algorithms and the fact that we're using a very common library to create our installers. We regularly check our installers with VirusTotal.com too and there are never more than 1 or 2 AV producing a false positive. If that happens to you, please report this as a false positive to your AV software vendor ! You can disable the AV for the installation process, then re-enable it.

For example let's say you have a nested sequence with one clip inside fully used. In the parent sequence, you only select a part of the nested sequence.

Now you launch PlumePack from the parent Sequence and choose the options to optimize the disk space. In that case if you choose the "Remove Unused Elements in Nested Sequence" (or "Remove Unused Elements in Muticam Sequence") AND trim from the parent sequence (chosen in the PlumePack option), the clip in the Nested Sequence will be trimmed based on the parent sequence use. That's why you could end up with a clip in the nested sequence with diagonal danger lines in the timeline, but actually they should be reference to a part NOT used in the parent sequence.

One license is for the same user on up to two computers not used at the same time

No ! PlumePack makes a copy of your project, so your original project will not be modified, and your original media will never be modified or removed by PlumePack !

Please run the PlumePack Analysis. You should get all information about why your files are not trimmed if you expand "more info".

You can only continue editing other projects, but not the current project ! The PlumePack process could fail to relink the files at the end if you modify the project.

The AE Comp .aex file is well copied and replaced in the new PlumePacked project. The media dependencies of this AE comp (imported media in After Effects) are well copied in the same subfolder next to the .aex file but are not replaced in the AE comp.Find all PlumePack limitations in this article

PlumePack will rename the file is there is any conflict, so you will get a filename.ext and a filename_1.ext. This situation happens if you have 2 media with the same filename, and PlumePack consolidates them in the same folder.

No, PlumePack can only copy or Trim your media. By Trimming, you keep the same codec, metadata and pixel quality.
However, you can use PlumePack to clean/filter your project first (because it gives you better features than the native Project Manager for that) and select the "No Process" Main Media Process. Then use the native Project Manager to transcode your cleaned project !

Yes ! The "No Process" option has been implemented for that use. More info in this article.

No sadly there is no way to continue a PlumePack process and you will need to relaunch it from the beginning. In most cases when the process failed the errors are well indicated into the final report, so you can eventually manually fix the issues yourself. If you would want to continue a PlumePack process, fill our Feature Requests Form.

You will find a detailed answer in our PlumePack Limitations article.

PlumePack copies your media files following your Project Bins structure ! So your final Disk structure will be more organized than having everything in the same folder ! With PlumePack Premium you can also choose to use the Disk Data Structure of your files to organize your PlumePacked Project.

PlumePack copies the media dependencies of the AE comps (imported media in After Effects) into the same subfolder next to the .aex file. Those files are not replaced in the AE comp though and you will need to relocate manually in AE. The aex file itself is well copied and replaced in your premiere pro project.

PlumePack copies and replace the Aaegraphic/MOGRT in your destination folder. It also detects if another media is used inside this Aegraphic and it is also copied and replaced.

With PlumePack you can choose one sequence and consolidates your project from this "Main" sequence. All nested sequences will be taken into account recursively. If you need to select many "Main Sequences", you can create a new sequence, put your "Main Sequences" inside, and PlumePack this new sequence.

Yes totally ! The native Project Manager and PlumePack are independent, and PlumePack is far more stable than the native solution. If you just need to copy your files, the PlumePack FREE version could be enough for your needs !
Note that PlumePack can't transcode your media. If you need to save some disk space, consider buying a PlumePack Premium license and trim your files without re-encoding !

If you still want to use the Project Manager (maybe because Transcoding is important for your workflow), here are the following advices to make it work :

Yes! PlumePack will move the entire tracks, not only clips on the tracks. This means that all audio effects and associated automation / key-framing will move along with the tracks.
