Project Architect
Installation

Version 2.0.0 - 4 August 2026

Project Architect is a professional workflow tool for Adobe Premiere Pro (CEP extension, .zxp file).


1. Requirements

Adobe Premiere Pro: officially supported versions = 2024 to 2026 (host PPRO 24.x to 26.x, up to the latest 26.x for this build). Older versions (for example 2022 or 2023) are not guaranteed: if it works for you, great  - that is not a support commitment. If unsure: delivery email or https://focol.io

System: macOS or Windows.

Network: Internet to activate or verify the license; afterwards, an active Pro license can work offline for about 48 hours before the next validation.

A ZXP installer is required (for example aescripts-style tools, Anastasiy ZXP Installer, or another authorized equivalent).


2. Install the extension

Get the .zxp file from your delivery (for example Project_Architect_v2.0.0.zxp; the exact name is on your email or download page).

Open your usual ZXP installer, install the .zxp, then restart Premiere Pro if the installer asks you to.

Keep a versioned copy of the .zxp for support.


3. Open the panel

Launch Adobe Premiere Pro, open or create a project (.prproj), then menu Window, Extensions, Project Architect (labels follow Premiere’s UI language).

The panel opens docked or as a floating window.


4. Trial or license

On first launch, a 7-calendar-day Pro trial typically starts on first use on that machine (same features as Pro during the trial).

If you have a key: panel footer, LICENSE / INFO, paste the key, Activate (Internet required).

After the trial with no key: limited free use (SAFE and DIRECT with simple sorting; premium options locked).

After a successful activation, the badge should show PRO PLAN (or the equivalent in your UI language).


5. Updates

When enabled in the product, the panel may silently download technical updates remotely (for example the camera recognition database). None of your media is uploaded in that process.
