Version History
3.2.2 -
Jul 7, 2026
* New Features:
- Supporting copy of AVCHD Playlist Spanned Clips structure (with .MTC/.m2tc files)
- Supporting copy of CANON C300, XF305 Spanned Clips structure (with .MXF files)
* Improvements:
- More internal checks before/after Copy, to prevent potential hidden issues after copy such as shorter media, framerate changed, .. Those errors are now well reported at the end of the consolidation
* Fixed:
- Explicit Bug: ToolBox "Trim/Transcode Selected Items" and "Reorder Tracks" tools were not working anymore since 3.2.0
- Explicit Bug: Wrong error displayed when using "Each Timeline Clip into a unique file" and "Only Process Media Outside of Project Parent Folder" options
- Hidden Bug: When an image sequence failed to be trimmed, the copy fallback could be a Still image instead of the full sequence
3.2.1 -
Jun 18, 2026
* Fixed:
- Hidden Bug: H264 MOV Fixed/Adaptive BitRate were not well loaded in old version of Premiere before 26.2, resulting in Mismatch resolution/framerate of transcoded files
- Hidden Bug: When the "Auto" feature of Lumetri was used on a Timeline Clip by the user, the effect settings were automatically updated when the source file was replaced with its trimmed/transcoded version, resulting in visual differences
3.2.0 -
May 28, 2026
* New Transcode Features:
- Video and Audio Transcode Presets are now categorised in the dropdown depending if they are "Match Audio Layout" or "Restricted Audio Layout"
- "Match Audio Layout" presets now support mono (1-10 channels, and 16 channels), stereo (1-10 channels), and 5.1 surround. Mixed audio mono/stereo are not supported - please contact us to ask for support
- "Restricted Audio Layout" presets only support mono, stereo, and 5.1 surround - no support for multi-channels
- New Match Audio Layout "H264 MOV Fixed BitRate (CBR)" preset: outputs to .mov, bitrate can be set in the UI
- New Match Audio Layout "H264 MOV Fixed BitRate (CBR)" adaptive preset: outputs to .mov, bitrate is adapted proportionally depending on the source resolution and framerate, the same way Media Encoder does in its adaptive presets. You can see the chosen bitrate value in the PlumePack analysis/report details.
- "Wav 16bits 48khz" is now a "Match Audio Layout" preset
* Improved:
- (Free & Pro) Queue limit popup: new "Replace pending task" / "Cancel" choices instead of a single OK
- "Select/Unselect All Sequences" button in PlumePack options now only affects sequences visible after the search filter
- PlumePack in Background: clearer message when a task is paused (info message, tooltip, confirm dialog) to explain that Premiere Pro is needed exclusively for the next phase
- R3D NE files (Nikon ZR cameras) are now properly identified and excluded from trimming, instead of displaying a confusing trim error
* Fixed:
- Explicit Bug: timeline clips with an AI Mask (Object Mask) applied were not excluded from trimming in some project configurations
- Explicit Bug: if the project had unsaved changes (e.g. a newly imported clip) when adding a task to the queue, the .prproj file on disk was out of date, causing inconsistencies during processing. The project is now saved automatically before the task is created
- 5.1 surround warning in transcode report feedback now correctly triggers for all 5.1 channel orderings, not only the standard one
- Explicit Bug: deleting a paused task from the queue was not working
- Explicit Bug: unusual marker type disappearing after trimming could result in replacement errors. Now replacement is fine and warning is displayed in report feedback about the modified marker
- The delete button is now hidden on running tasks in queue
- Explicit Bug: when sequence framerate differs from footage framerate, clips with GOP compression extending near the end of the file could fail to trim due to a 1-frame rounding error. Now automatically handled
- Some parameters were badly linked to the documentation, so the panel was not scrolling to the correct section of the UI documentation
3.1.1 -
Mar 18, 2026
* Fixed:
- Explicit Bug: "Transcode Preset not found, should not happen" when using Transcode on a file which has special Audio Layout non supported and only video is used
- Explicit Bug: "jsonObjectParsed is not defined" message while loading the PlumePack panel after a non finished task in the previous session
- Explicit Bug: when task stopped during trim, transcode or copy process, info were not well written for potential task reload
- Explicit Bug: Fixed "Not Enough Disk Space" error appearing incorrectly when using "No Process" mode (no media files are copied in this mode)
- Explicit Bug: Fixed error when canceling the "Trim Codecs In Beta" warning popup
- Explicit Bug: Paused tasks UI feedback could incorrectly display "Delete Errors"
- Hidden Bug: On project started with old Premiere Pro versions then converted to latest 2026 version, nested sequence or multicam could be considered as not used and so not processed
* Transcode Audio Layout Support:
- ProRes Match Audio presets now support 1 audio multichannel stream with 4 mono files
3.1.0 -
Feb 8, 2026
* New: PlumePack in Background
- Run PlumePack in the background with a new button that lets you continue editing in Premiere Pro

* NEW: Reload Tasks
- Reload a task from the Finished Queue, creating a new task in the Pending Queue based on the completed one
- Choose the checkpoint from which you want to reload the task

- Supports up to 10 mono or stereo channels
- Contact us if you use mixed mono/stereo layouts or more than 10 audio channels
- Get in touch if you'd like this feature for other presets or additional transcode codecs
* Additional Features and Improvements:
- Support for Premiere 2026 / v26 and macOS 26.2 Tahoe
- Support for Mask AI Copy on consolidated Projects
