FinallyNode

Node-based visual effects editor for Adobe Premiere Pro. Chain effects as a node graph (like DaVinci Resolve Fusion) instead of stacking them linearly.

Built as a CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) extension — works with Premiere Pro CC 2019+ (v13.0+).

Installation (no build needed)

Pre-built files are included in dist/. No Node.js or terminal required.

macOS

   defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.11 PlayerDebugMode 1

2. Copy the plugin:
   • Download this repo as ZIP from GitHub → extract it
   • Copy the entire dist/ folder to:

     ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.finallynode.premierepro/
     

     (Create the extensions folder if it doesn't exist)
