Why we like it

DÉTECTIVE earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library by turning Premiere Pro's single Enable toggle into distinct Enable and Disable actions, with range-based and state-based clip selection.

What is DÉTECTIVE?

Premiere Pro's clip Enable function operates as a single toggle. DÉTECTIVE breaks that into two separate functions, one to Enable and one to Disable, and applies the chosen state to the selected clip. Because the two actions are distinct, you set a clip to Enabled or Disabled directly rather than switching whichever state it currently holds.

Beyond acting on the current selection, DÉTECTIVE can enable or disable clips that fall between the in and out points. It can also select only the enabled clips or only the disabled clips.

DÉTECTIVE is version 1.0.0, last updated in September 2022, and works with Premiere Pro 22.0 and later. It's listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing. The plugin is available through the Adobe Exchange library.

Who is DÉTECTIVE best for?

DÉTECTIVE is best for premiere Pro editors who want to enable and disable clips as separate actions and select clips by their enabled or disabled state.

How much does DÉTECTIVE cost?

DÉTECTIVE is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does DÉTECTIVE work with Premiere Pro 22.0?

DÉTECTIVE supports Premiere Pro 22.0 and later, so it runs on that release and newer versions. Its listing shows version 1.0.0, last updated in September 2022. If you're on an earlier release of Premiere Pro, you'd need to update to at least 22.0 before using it. For the most current compatibility information, the developer's page on Adobe Exchange is the best place to confirm which versions are supported.

How is DÉTECTIVE different from Premiere Pro's built-in Enable toggle?

DÉTECTIVE splits Premiere Pro's Enable function, which normally works as a single toggle, into two separate functions: one to enable and one to disable. Instead of flipping whatever state a clip is in, you set the selected clip directly to enabled or disabled. It also adds the ability to enable or disable clips between the in and out points, and to select only the enabled clips or only the disabled clips.

Can DÉTECTIVE enable or disable clips between in and out points?

DÉTECTIVE can enable or disable clips that fall between the in and out points, in addition to acting on the clips you've selected. Alongside this, it separates Premiere Pro's Enable toggle into distinct Enable and Disable functions and can select only the enabled clips or only the disabled clips. The plugin is version 1.0.0 and works with Premiere Pro 22.0 and later.

Is DÉTECTIVE free to use?

DÉTECTIVE is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page on Adobe Exchange is the place to confirm the current terms before you download. The plugin is version 1.0.0, was last updated in September 2022, and works with Premiere Pro 22.0 and later, so it's worth checking that your Premiere Pro version meets that requirement as well.
