NOLGIA for Premiere Pro

Let your agent work in Premiere Pro.

The free NOLGIA extension for Premiere Pro connects the project you have open to NOLGIA, so your AI agent can read it, run ExtendScript, render frames into your Library and bring in your NOLGIA media. Your project files stay on your computer.

Version 0.1.4 · nolgia-adobe-0.1.4.zxp · Free · Premiere Pro 2025 or later · Tested on Windows and macOS (Apple silicon)

One install covers After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator.

For editors: Premiere Pro's Project panel with a camera card's clips under the camera's names, and the question What's on C0006? Then a screen recording of Premiere Pro's Project panel as the agent renames each clip by what's in it through the plugin, C0006.MP4 becoming D1_A_CU_Mia, and the clips sorted into bins for day 1, camera A: Wides, Close-ups and B-roll. It opens and ends on the Organize card. Mia and Leo are names we gave the couple.

What your agent can do

Real hands in your project.

Your agent works through NOLGIA's app tools, and every command shows in the panel's Activity list.

  • Still describing your edit to AI? It reads the edit: Premiere Pro beside the agent's answer, that the only sequence, street, is a vertical 720x1280 timeline at 24 fps running about 26 seconds.

    Read the project

    The project file, its bins and what is in them, every sequence's size, frame rate, length and tracks, and the active sequence's playhead, in and out points and selected clips.

  • Sorting dailies by hand? Sorted by day: a project's 18 loose items beside the same media sorted into bins by shooting day and kind.

    Run ExtendScript

    Change the project step by step with Premiere Pro's own scripting, and get back what each step did. Ask before running code shows you each script first.

  • AI that never looks at the cut? It checks the cut: four frames of a vertical sequence of a couple on a city street and a taxi.

    Render frames into your Library

    Any frame of a sequence, so your agent can look at its own cut.

  • Download, rename, drag, repeat? Straight into a bin: street.mp4 from the NOLGIA Library landing in the NOLGIA imports bin of couple.prproj.

    Import your NOLGIA media

    Images, videos and audio from your Library, in a NOLGIA imports bin.

  • Exporting a review copy, again? In your Library: a frame of the vertical street sequence, exported as MP4 H.264 at 720x1280 and 24 fps.

    Export to your Library

    MP4 video (H.264, matching the sequence) and PNG frames, uploaded to your NOLGIA Library. A copy of the project is saved next to it, on your computer.

  • Did AI actually save your edit? It saves the project: Premiere Pro's title bar for couple and the panel's Activity list with save after preview and export.

    Save and open projects

    Save the project, or open another project beside it.

  • Offloading cards by hand? It does your DIT: the NOLGIA panel in Premiere Pro asking before it copies 9 files from the A001_CARD camera card to two drives and checks every copy, with its line that the cards are only read and nothing at a destination is replaced.

    NOLGIA does your DIT

    Copies your camera cards to one to three drives, reads every copy back to prove it matches the card, and writes ASC MHL manifests and a DIT report. It lists what was shot by camera and can name the files by shoot, date, time and camera. It runs the free NOLGIA CLI on your computer, the cards are only read, and every copy or rename waits for your Approve in the panel.

Your project files stay on your computer. Premiere Pro projects and your footage are never uploaded to NOLGIA; only the frames and exports you ask for go to your Library.

On the timeline

Edits on your timeline.

Your agent edits sequences with Premiere Pro's own scripting, one step at a time, and every step shows in the panel's Activity list. The pictures are from a real run on our own footage.

  • Laying in selects one by one? Cut laid out: a screen recording of Premiere Pro's timeline as the agent lays shots onto a new sequence one at a time, ending on the whole cut, 13 shots and 31 seconds.

    Lay out a cut

    Your selects go onto a new sequence one shot at a time, in the order you agree to. With transcripts it cuts on whole sentences, so nobody is cut off mid-word. Premiere Pro's own transcripts are free and stay on your computer.

  • Syncing sound by hand? Synced by timecode: the D1 Sync sequence in Premiere Pro, nine camera clips on Video 1, each with its recorder sound on Audio 2.

    Sync picture and sound

    Camera clips and recorder sound are lined up by timecode on a sync sequence, and each pair is linked. Clips with no timecode or a different frame rate get a red label, so you know which to check.

  • Re-cutting it for vertical? A 9:16 version: a frame of the 16:9 cut with the part Premiere Pro's Auto Reframe kept outlined, beside the same frame in the 9:16 copy.

    Make a 9:16 version

    Premiere Pro's own Auto Reframe makes a vertical copy of the cut as a new sequence. The 16:9 cut stays as it is.

  • Flat log footage on the timeline? One Lumetri grade: a desert shot split down the frame, flat S-Log3 on the left and the same frame with the agent's Lumetri Color grade on the right.

    Grade with Lumetri

    One Lumetri Color per clip, each value set by name, so every value stays where you can change it in Effect Controls.

Install

Six steps, a few minutes.

One install adds NOLGIA to After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator. The extension remembers your sign in, and reconnects when Premiere Pro starts if you left Connected on.

  1. The browser's download list with the Premiere Pro plugin file.

    Download the extension

    Download nolgia-adobe-0.1.4.zxp and leave it in your Downloads folder. It is one file for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator.

  2. Quit the Adobe apps

    Quit After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, whichever are open. An app that is open during the install does not show NOLGIA until you restart it.

  3. Command Prompt after Adobe's installer printed Installation Successful.

    Install it with Adobe's installer

    A .zxp file does not install with a double-click. Adobe's own installer comes with the Creative Cloud app: open Command Prompt on Windows (press the Windows key, type cmd, press Enter) or Terminal on macOS, paste the command for your computer and press Enter.

    Command Prompt
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\RemoteComponents\UPI\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent.exe" /install "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\nolgia-adobe-0.1.4.zxp"

    It prints Installation Successful. Saved the file somewhere else? Change the path at the end of the command. A ZXP installer app installs the same file too. The extension is signed, so there is no debug setting to change.

  4. Premiere Pro's Window menu open on Extensions, NOLGIA.

    Open the NOLGIA panel

    Start Premiere Pro and choose Window > Extensions > NOLGIA.

  5. The NOLGIA panel showing Your code with the sign in code to check in the browser.

    Sign in with the code

    Click Sign in. Your browser opens a NOLGIA page: check that the code matches the one in the panel, then approve it. Each app signs in on its own, so do this once in every app you use.

  6. The NOLGIA panel reading Connected. NOLGIA can work in this Premiere Pro.

    Keep Connected on

    The panel reads “Connected. NOLGIA can work in this Premiere Pro.” Now ask your agent to work in your project. Closing the panel does not disconnect.

The NOLGIA panel

You decide what it may do.

Everything lives in the NOLGIA panel (Window > Extensions > NOLGIA). Closing the panel does not disconnect: a hidden part of the extension keeps the connection while the app is open.

Connected
NOLGIA can send commands to this Premiere Pro only while this is on. It stays on the next time Premiere Pro starts.
Activity and Pause
Every command your agent sends, with its status. Pause stops it at any time; Resume picks up again.
Ask before running code
Shows every script first (the panel opens by itself) and waits for Run code or Deny.
Allow NOLGIA Agent
Also lets your NOLGIA Agent in the cloud work here, not only the agents you run yourself.
Sign out
Disconnects and forgets the sign in for Premiere Pro on this computer.

ExtendScript your agent runs in Premiere Pro runs on your computer with your permissions, like any script. Turn on Ask before running code to see it first, and only connect agents you trust.

The NOLGIA panel connected: the Connected, Allow NOLGIA Agent and Ask before running code switches, and an Activity list of commands with their state.

Plugin workflows

Workflows made for Premiere Pro.

Each workflow is written steps your agent follows in your own project. With your own agent, like Claude or Cursor, the work in Premiere Pro is free. With NOLGIA Agent, turns cost from 10 credits each. Anything it generates with NOLGIA is priced as usual.

All plugin workflows

The Premiere Pro workflows are on their way. Your agent can already work in Premiere Pro with plain requests.

Troubleshooting

If something is not working.

My agent says Premiere Pro is not connected.
Open the NOLGIA panel (Extensions in the Window menu, then NOLGIA). It should read “Connected. NOLGIA can work in this Premiere Pro.” If it says Switched off, turn Connected on. If it asks you to sign in again, click Sign in. Each app signs in on its own, so signing in to After Effects does not sign in Premiere Pro. Your agent has to use the same NOLGIA account as the extension, and NOLGIA Agent can only reach Premiere Pro while Allow NOLGIA Agent is on.
NOLGIA is not in the Extensions list of the Window menu.
Usually Premiere Pro was open while the extension installed. Quit it completely and start it again. If NOLGIA is still missing, quit the app, run the install command again and check that it prints Installation Successful. The installer skips a version that is already installed: to install the same version again, first run the command with /remove NOLGIA (on macOS, --remove NOLGIA) in place of the install part.
Does it work with my version of Premiere Pro?
It needs Premiere Pro 2025 (version 25.0) or later, on Windows or macOS. The About Premiere Pro window shows your version: it is in the Help menu on Windows and in the Premiere Pro menu on macOS. Older versions do not list NOLGIA.
The panel says it cannot reach NOLGIA.
The extension connects out to api.nolgia.ai over HTTPS, the same way your browser does, and keeps trying on its own. Previews and exports upload to NOLGIA's file storage at storage.googleapis.com. Nothing connects in to your computer, so no port needs opening. On a work or school network a firewall or proxy may block it: ask for api.nolgia.ai and storage.googleapis.com to be allowed.
My agent is waiting and nothing happens.
With Ask before running code on, the extension waits for you: the NOLGIA panel opens by itself with the script, so click Run code or Deny. A paused extension runs nothing until you click Resume. A script that is still running keeps the app busy until it finishes, because ExtendScript cannot be stopped from outside.
