Review inside Premiere Pro, not beside it
The PlayPause panel lives right inside your editing window. A client leaves a note, you click it, and your playhead jumps to the exact frame they meant. No second screen, no scrubbing, no guessing what "tighten the middle" means.
The direct PlayPause-Premiere-Panel-v1.1.0.zxp download goes live shortly. The three steps below have you set up the moment it does.
Click a comment in the panel and the playhead snaps to its timecode on your timeline.
What the panel actually does
Here is the honest version. Most review tools make you bounce between your editor and a browser tab. You read a timecode in one window, then go hunt for it in your sequence. Do that forty times in a review round and you have lost an afternoon to clicking around.
The PlayPause panel kills that loop. It opens inside Premiere Pro as a normal panel, docked wherever you like. Every comment your reviewers leave shows up in the panel, pinned to the exact frame it was left on. Click the comment and your Premiere playhead jumps straight to that timecode. You read the note and you are already parked on the frame it is about.
Versions, threads, and approvals come through too. When a client marks a cut approved, you see it in the panel without alt tabbing anywhere. The work stays in the one window where you actually do the work.
Set it up in three steps
About three minutes, most of which is the one time installer setup.
Install the free ZXP/UXP Installer
One time setup. It is the standard tool for loading Adobe panels that do not come from the Marketplace. Download it from aescripts, install it like any normal app, and open it.
Get the ZXP installerDrag PlayPause-Premiere-Panel-v1.1.0.zxp onto it
Drop the PlayPause panel file straight onto the installer window. It installs in a couple of seconds. No terminal, no config files, no admin gymnastics.
Restart Premiere and sign in
Fully restart Premiere Pro. Open Window then Extensions then PlayPause. Click Sign in, finish in your browser, and the panel is live inside your editing window.
Before you start
- Premiere Pro 2021 or newer, on Windows or macOS.
- A free PlayPause account. The panel works on every plan, including Free.
- The free ZXP/UXP Installer (step one) and the PlayPause-Premiere-Panel-v1.1.0.zxp file.
Why editors keep the panel open all day
Speed is the whole point. The review cycle, not the editing, is usually the slow part of post production. The PlayPause panel takes the slowest bit of that cycle, finding the frame a note refers to, and makes it a single click. Multiply that across a project and you are shipping cuts with fewer rounds and fewer late nights.
It also keeps your context intact. Frame.io and the rest charge per seat, so every client and freelancer you invite raises your bill, and you still end up reading timecodes off a separate window. PlayPause is flat priced per workspace and the review happens inside Premiere itself. You invite everyone, you pay one price, and your editors never leave their timeline.
It is built for the people who live in Premiere all day: agency editors juggling client revisions, post houses running parallel projects, freelancers who want to look sharp when they share a cut, and in house teams shipping a steady stream of brand video. If your bottleneck is the back and forth, this is the fix.
