Why we like it

This extension earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library for pulling Dropbox Replay's review and approval workflow into Premiere Pro and After Effects, so comments, responses and version exports happen without leaving the editor.

What is Dropbox Replay?

Dropbox Replay is an extension that connects Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to Dropbox Replay, keeping video review and approval inside the editor. Instead of switching between tools, you view feedback from Replay and act on it while you work.

You can import Replay comments onto the Premiere Pro timeline with one click, respond to existing comments, and add new ones from within Premiere Pro. When comments have been addressed, you can export new versions to Replay and share a link to the video with others, without leaving Premiere Pro.

Version 1.3.0 added support for After Effects, extending the extension beyond Premiere Pro. It is compatible with Premiere Pro 9.0 and later and After Effects 13.0 and later. Accessing the extension involves creating a Replay beta account, available for free at dropbox.com/replay.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dropbox Replay work with my version of Premiere Pro and After Effects?

Dropbox Replay supports Premiere Pro 9.0 and later and After Effects 13.0 and later. After Effects support arrived in version 1.3.0, so earlier builds of the extension covered Premiere Pro only. If you are running a compatible release of either application, you can add the extension and connect it to your Replay account. For the exact supported releases against your setup, check the developer's page, since host application requirements can shift between extension updates.

Do I need a Replay account to use Dropbox Replay?

Dropbox Replay connects your Adobe editor to Dropbox Replay, so you need a Replay account to view and act on feedback. You can create a Replay beta account for free at dropbox.com/replay. Once connected, the extension lets you import Replay comments, respond to them, add new ones, and export new versions back to Replay. Without an account there is nothing for the extension to sync with, so setting one up comes before you start reviewing.

Is Dropbox Replay free?

Dropbox Replay is listed as free here, and Dropbox offers a Replay beta account at no cost through dropbox.com/replay. Licensing and account terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for current details before you rely on it for production work. The extension bridges Premiere Pro and After Effects with your Replay account, and terms for Replay as a service are set by Dropbox rather than fixed within the extension itself.

What did version 1.3.0 of Dropbox Replay add?

Dropbox Replay 1.3.0, released on 2023-06-23, added support for Adobe After Effects. Earlier the extension focused on Premiere Pro, where it imports Replay comments onto the timeline, lets you respond and add comments, and exports new versions back to Replay. With After Effects support, the extension became available across both Adobe applications. For the current version and any changes since this release, check the developer's page.
