Infusion streamlines the process of working with Premiere Pro and After Effects by syncing directly with your Simian account for seamless collaboration between editors, designers, VFX artists and clients.

Here’s what Infusion can do:

  • Bring all of the functionality of Simian directly into the Premiere Pro and After Effects environments.
  • Pull comments and annotations directly from Simian.
  • Sync up comment and annotation markers directly with video timelines for faster references.
  • Enable you to collaborate in real time and post responses or revisions directly from the Premiere Pro and After Effects environments.
  • Eliminate the need for cross-referencing comments in emails, IMs and other apps.
  • Upload and share cuts, scenes and graphics sequences directly to Simian Project folders

Download Infusion from Adobe Exchange

Mac System Requirements: macOS Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur/Monterey, Premiere Pro 2021 or higher Windows System Requirements: Windows 10 (64-bit) v1903 or Windows 11, Premiere Pro 2021 or higher

Manual Installation:
If you cannot download Infusion from Adobe Exchange, you can manually install the plugin by downloading the ZXP file and following one of the two methods below.

Note: Manual installations will not receive automatic updates through the Creative Cloud App, and new versions will require a manual re-installation.

Method 1: Using a 3rd-party GUI tool

Note: These instructions use a tool that is not developed by or supported by Simian.

  1. Download and run Anastasiy’s Extension Manager from http://install.anastasiy.com
  2. Drag and drop the com.gosimian.infusion.zxp file into the right side of the Extension Manager window.

 Method 2: Command Line Installation

Note: These instructions use the UPIA tool that is automatically installed with the Creative Cloud desktop app version 5.5 and above.

  1. Open the command line:
    1. Windows: Type in the Start menu “cmd”. Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
    2. macOS: Open Terminal by double-clicking its icon in the Applications / Utilities folder.
  1. Navigate to the UPIA folder:
    1. Windows: cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\RemoteComponents\UPI\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent"
    2. macOS: cd "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop” Common/RemoteComponents/UPI/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent.app/Contents/MacOS”
  1. Run the installation command. Be sure to specify the path to the ZPX file if you’ve downloaded it to a location other than the default download folder.
