PlumePack V2 Is No Longer Maintained

PlumePack V2 (including the last release 2.4.7) no longer receives updates.

If you still need V2 for legacy projects, you can download its final release here:

👉 PlumePack V2.4.7 Windows Download
👉 PlumePack V2.4.7 MacOS Download

This version is provided as-is, with no updates or compatibility guarantees.

You can still rely on it for older workflows, but here are the important points to be aware of:

No More Bug Fixes

Any issue discovered in V2 including trimming or relinking problems, Premiere Pro compatibility issues, proxy handling bugs, UI glitches, or performance regressions will not receive fixes.

Future updates to Premiere Pro or operating systems may introduce changes that V2 will not be updated to handle.

No New Features

Development has fully moved to PlumePack V3.
This means V2 will not receive:

New Media Process options (including Transcode, exclusive to V3)
Presets system
Batch Queue
Improved project filtering
Updated proxy management
UX or performance improvements
Any future innovations

Users choosing to stay on V2 will remain limited to its existing feature set.

No Support for Premiere Pro 26 and Future Versions

PlumePack V2 will not support Premiere Pro 26 or any later major versions.

If you upgrade Creative Cloud, or collaborate with others using newer versions, V2 may become unstable or incompatible.
Only V3 will continue to be maintained for ongoing Adobe support.

Limited Compatibility With Modern Workflows

Because V2 cannot evolve anymore, it will gradually lose compatibility with:

New codecs and container formats
New system hardware and OS-level media frameworks

Professionals working in production, post-production, or archiving workflows should consider moving to V3 to avoid future limitations.

Why Upgrade to PlumePack V3?

PlumePack V3 introduces major improvements that significantly enhance consolidation, trimming, performance, and long-form project management.

Highlights include:

Transcoding with Adobe Media Encoder
Options Presets to quickly switch between workflows
Batch Queue to process several tasks sequentially
Enhanced filtering, search & selection tools
Better proxy and multi-media management
Continuous updates & bug fixes
