Installing the Pr & Ae extension on Mac

This page is for the older in-app extension for Premiere Pro and After Effects. For the current setup, install the LmBox desktop app and add the plug-in from the Plug-in manager.

Note

Make sure Premiere Pro or After Effects is closed before installing; if it is not, restart it after the install.
You can use either the One-click install or the Universal manual install method below.

One-click install

• Step 1: Download the Mac one-click installer to your computer, and make sure the editing app is closed.
• Step 2: Open the DMG image and run the installer inside, then follow the prompts and restart the editing app.
• Step 3: When it says the install is done, open Premiere Pro / After Effects, then go to the menu bar: Window → Extensions → LmBox.

TIP

This is the default install location. If you need to uninstall by hand, look for it in the folder below.
The Library folder is usually hidden; hold the Option key and click Go in the Finder menu to see it.

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.sockite.lmbox-V2

Universal manual install (alternative)

• Step 1: Download the universal extension pack to your computer and unzip it.
• Step 2: Copy the com.sockite.lmbox folder inside the extension install files folder to one of the two locations below (either works), then restart the editing app.
• Step 3: When it says the install is done, open Premiere Pro / After Effects, then go to the menu bar: Window → Extensions → LmBox.

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.sockite.lmbox
#  or
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.sockite.lmbox-V2

Uninstall the extension

Note

If you are upgrading, uninstall first and then install the new version!

• Step 1: With the extension open, click the three-bar menu ≡ at the top left of the extension panel, then Uninstall extension → OK.
• Step 2: The extension closes automatically after it uninstalls; restart the editing app to finish.
