Installation

Get Scrub

Step 1 — Download the Plugin

Purchase Scrub from Gumroad. Your download is a single .ccx file — the Scrub plugin installer. Save it somewhere you can find it (e.g. your Downloads folder). No unzipping needed.

Step 2 — Install the Plugin

  1. Double-click the Scrub.ccx file. The Creative Cloud Desktop app launches (make sure it's installed and you're signed in).
  2. A dialog warns that the plugin isn't from the Adobe Marketplace — click Install to continue.
  3. Because Scrub uses local file access, you may be asked to grant permission — approve it to finish installing.

This is normal

The "not from the Marketplace" warning appears for every self-distributed plugin. It just means Scrub is delivered directly rather than through Adobe Exchange.

Step 3 — Open the Panel in Premiere Pro

  1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro (v25.6 or later).
  2. Go to Window → UXP Plugins → Scrub.
  3. The Scrub panel opens — you're ready to go.

Don't see it under UXP Plugins?

  • Fully quit and reopen Premiere Pro after installing.
  • If the .ccx double-click didn't launch Creative Cloud, install manually with Adobe's Unified Plugin Installer Agent (UPIA):
  • Windows: UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent.exe /install "C:\path\to\Scrub.ccx"
  • macOS: ./UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent --install /path/to/Scrub.ccx
  • If it still doesn't appear, enable Developer Mode under Premiere Pro's Settings → Plugins preferences, then restart Premiere.

Platform Notes

  • No additional dependencies required.
  • Preset folders are auto-detected from standard Adobe locations.
  • REDLINE and FFmpeg paths are auto-detected if installed in default locations.
  • UXP persistent tokens from Windows do not transfer — you'll need to re-browse for preset folders.
  • If using the Conform module's REDLINE feature, the RedlineLauncher.scpt file must be compiled once: 
    osacompile -o RedlineLauncher.scpt RedlineLauncher.scpt
  • FFmpeg can be installed via Homebrew: brew install ffmpeg.

Updating

To update Scrub:

  1. Download the latest .ccx from your Gumroad library (buyers get access to updates).
  2. Double-click it and click Install — it replaces the existing version in place.
  3. Restart Premiere Pro to load the updated panel.
