aescripts + aeplugins

Scott Niswander

Loving this plug-in, but having a small issue where it behaves oddly when I am using footage in a sequence that are in different aspect ratios. For example, I film in 16:9 but edit in 2.00:1, which means the top and bottom of my footage are intentionally cropped out. Zooming in with this plug-in works great, but hitting the "Zoom out to 100%" button actually zooms it out to 88.9%. creating black pillar boxes on the sides of my composition. I think the plug-in is trying to scale the clip down to fit the comp, which is not what I want. Again, I intend for the top and bottom of my clips to be cropped out. Nesting the clips solves this issue, but I would like to not have to next every clip on which I want to zoom in and out.

Great plug-in, other than this one small issue!

Kamil Pekala

Thanks Scott!

Actually I do edit in 2:1 aspect ratio too and what I do is just use one of the entries in the RECENTS list instead of hitting "Zoom out to 100%". When you first REFRESH on a new clip, an entry is added to the list of RECENTS matching that exact framing. So if that's your default "100%" then you can just use that. Let me know if this works for you!

I will think about how to improve the "Zoom out to 100%" in this situation for future updates!

Thanks for the tip! This worked great!

Downloaded your trial. Works well. I do a lot of green screen work and was hoping this would help speed up some punching in and out. Once you're able to run this on multiple clips at once, I'll give it another shot.

Multiple clips at once? Can you elaborate when such a thing is useful? Technically it would be perfectly possible to implement that in Drag Zoom Pro.

Cool idea and yeah a short video to visualize what effect you are after would be awesome!

samer sabah

same time u can  make zoom in , zoom out  etc.

samer sabah

Yes just adobe  Premiere  with Basic 3D . easy but give you wonderful results

Will you be adding different easing options to the zooms!

As a matter of fact I will! Adobe recently fixed an issue in their code that will allow me to set all kinds of easings through my plugin

Damian, I've updated the compatibility info. Please try installing again.

@Kamil Pekala it installed successfully through aescripts app. Failed through ZXP. However, when clicking Window>Extensions>Drag Zoom Pro - nothing happens. The extension window doesn't appear.

Same here. Used AEscripts installer, shows in extension window, did install cleanly, no window.

Kamil Pekala

If the plugin shows in Window -> Extensions menu but doesn't open then it's usually a glitch in Premiere. Either Premiere reinstall or prefs reset (this: https://bit.ly/PremiereResetPrefs) should help

I tried this fix on the new Premier Pro version v 22 without any luck:

"If the plugin shows in Window -> Extensions menu but doesn't open then it's usually a glitch in Premiere. Either Premiere reinstall or prefs reset (this: https://bit.ly/PremiereResetPrefs) should help"

Any other option Kamil?

The extension should NOT be installed with the aescripts manager. It should be installed with this ZXP installer: https://aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer/

Thank you kamil!, that indeed solved the problem.

Norbert Adamko

I can confirm. The plug=in, at least the demo version won't load with the latest premiere pro, tried the beta as well without any luck. Tried it on my M1 Max Macbook Pro, still no luck. Would love an update on this, coz i'm very interested in buying your plugin. 

Thanks

I did install it with the mentioned installer. I have multiple other plugins installed and they work fine. Do you have any other suggestions? I did try to clear my panes and all the other suggestions in the comments but no luck as of now. Would love to be turned in to a customer.

Please reach out via email ([email protected]), I'm gonna try to resolve this and help you and make it work. What is happening exactly: did it seemingly install and it shows up in the Window -> Extensions menu but it simply doesn't open when you click on it?

I have always HATED animating in Premiere, this is such a time saver! It would be really nice if extending the marker length would adjust the animation duration accordingly. 

Oskar Haltorp

Used to work but I cant get this plugin to work at all, even following the ZXP install route. Please fix, -50 usd for nothing.
Edit: Does work on my macbook pro but not pc??

Dave Morales

Just purchased this and I'm having the same issues. PPro 2022 on Win 10, selecting Window -> Extensions --> Drag Zoom Pro and nothing happens. I used the ZXP installer and cleared the PPro cache. Please advise.

Hi Kamil! I'm considering getting this plugin but wanted to know if it works with vertical aspect ratios? I work in social media and much of the time the aspect ratios are 9:16 and 4:5.

Thanks for your time!

Great plugin man.
Hate these animations.
I don't know if I missed it, but is there an option now to do the animation for the clip as long as the clip is?
Would be nice if there was just a button to click and the transition lenghth will be as long as the clip it will be applied to

Great job!!!

There are bugs in the plugin, today I opened Premier and suddenly all my fav zooms and settings were gone for no reason! 

Is this plugin still supported?

Yes! Unfortunately this is an issue that sometimes happens due to Premiere doing their cleanups or something I have no control of. I may be able to figure out a more robust way to store these in a future version though so stay tuned

Same computer, same Windows10 system, same version of Premiere2023, same installation method.
1.1.5 has no problems, 1.1.6 runs with a blank page.

Tommy Cardon

Just a blank panel in Premiere Pro. I enabled debugging for CEP 8 - 11 ...still just a blank panel.

Tommy Cardon

Also - I originally purchased directly from your web site (version 1.1.4) , but there is no option to download updates (that I can see), so I re-purchased here on AEScripts today so I could quickly update from the previous version. Maybe I'm missing something on your web site? I've purchased other extensions from your site - is the only option to get updates to email you? Not a huge fan of needing to email for updates, but again, maybe I'm missing something.

I love all your products. Extremely useful. Hopefully the issues with drag and zoom will be resolved soon. 

God bless.

Kamil Pekala

Sorry about that! I've fixed the problem with version 1.1.7. Please update and it should work fine now.

New update is working - Im getting a notification that I am on version 1.1.3. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Restarted Premiere and still saying 1.1.3. Just a heads up. Thanks for the super quick response and update. You rock man!

I've updated the zip file on aescripts. It's the same version number (1.1.7) but please download it again from aescripts.com , install and the issue should be fixed.

LOVING THE NEW UPDATE TYSM!

but now i'm wondering, since we now have proper bezier keyframe support, would it be possible to implement more customized easing presets?

I am trying the trial version and consider buying this, but something always goes wrong. The Premiere source monitor window never zooms to the same details as the extension preview window. It's always horizontally shifted. Am I missing something?

Not sure what you mean. Best to reach me directly via email and provide some screenshots or screen recording

That is correct. Currently it's not.

encoding taking too much while refreshing or while applying zoom on a nested sequence.How can we fix it?

Drew Kirk

Pretty disappointed in this to be honest. The video makes it look like it will be really simple but in reality when you try to select the area to zoom, the photo is either to small to select the area or it's cropped outside of the area. The only way to get this to work is to either have every single video/photo at the sequences resolution or I have to nest every single one. It's probably easier for me to keyframe it than use this.
