Install Glide

Glide installs as a Premiere Pro extension panel. It takes about a minute.

Requirements: Premiere Pro 2022 (22.0) or newer, Windows (10 or 11). macOS is not supported yet.

1. Download Glide

Download the newest Glide-Setup.exe from motionvisionfx.com/download, any time. Your licence code arrives by email, in your Creem receipt. Still stuck? Contact support with the email you bought with.

2. Run the installer

Close Premiere Pro, then double-click Glide-Setup.exe and press Next, then Finish. It installs Glide for your Windows user (no administrator password) together with the fonts its caption styles use.

Windows may show a blue box saying "Windows protected your PC". That is because Glide is new and its installer is not signed with a paid certificate yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

What the installer puts on your computer

The Glide panel, in your Windows user's Adobe extensions folder (AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.motionvision.glide).
33 caption fonts, for your Windows user only (fonts you already have are left as they are).
An uninstall entry, "Glide for Premiere Pro", in Windows Settings › Apps.

That is all: no background program, nothing that starts with Windows, no other software, no administrator rights. Glide only goes online to check your licence (see the privacy page) and, if you use automatic captions, to download the speech program and its model once, from GitHub and Hugging Face.

3. Open the panel

Start Premiere Pro again and choose Window › Extensions › Motion Vision Glide. You can dock the panel anywhere in your workspace.

4. Enter your licence code

The first time you open Glide, it asks for your licence code. Paste the code from your receipt email and press Activate. Glide needs an internet connection to activate; after that it checks the licence online now and then and keeps working offline for up to 14 days between checks. (You can also enter a code later from the ⋯ menu › Enter licence code.)

One code works on two of your computers. To move Glide to another computer, open the ⋯ menu › Deactivate this PC on the old one first, then enter the code on the new one. If the old PC is gone, ask support and we will free the code.

Updating

Download the newest Glide-Setup.exe from motionvisionfx.com/download and run it the same way (it replaces the old version), then quit Premiere Pro completely and open it again. Closing only the panel is not enough. If Glide shows an amber message saying Premiere is running an older script, that is what it means.

Uninstalling

Open the ⋯ menu › Deactivate this PC first (this frees your code), then go to Windows Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Glide for Premiere Pro and choose Uninstall. This removes the Glide panel completely.

The caption fonts stay on purpose, so captions already in your projects keep their look. To remove them too, open Windows Settings › Personalization › Fonts and uninstall the ones you no longer want (or ask support for the list).

Other ways to install

Prefer an extension installer? Download the Glide .zxp file and install it with one of these free tools (close Premiere Pro first):

ZXP/UXP Installer from aescripts (aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer): open it and drag the .zxp file into the window.
or Anastasiy's Extension Manager (install.anastasiy.com): choose "Install", then pick the file.

Installed this way, the caption fonts are not installed for you: open Glide's Captions tab and use Install caption fonts when it offers it.

It does not show up?

Make sure Premiere was closed during the install, then start it again.
Look under Window › Extensions, not Window › Workspaces.
Still stuck? Contact support and tell us your Premiere version and Windows version.
