Why we like it

This trial serves as a checkpoint before buying: it lets you confirm the development and programming tools behave as expected in your Adobe setup during a 15-day window, and it sits in the Adobe Exchange library.

What is ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial?

ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial is the trial edition from Vakago Tools, covering development and programming work across Adobe applications including After Effects and Premiere Pro. The trial runs with limited functionality and expires after 15 days, and the developer recommends testing it during that period to confirm everything works as expected before moving to the full version.

Once installed, it appears as its own entry under Window > Extensions > ExtendScript Developer Tools - TRIAL, kept separate from the full release. If you decide to upgrade, uninstall the trial first, as the developer advises removing it before installing the full version.

Compatibility reaches beyond video: alongside After Effects 18.0 and later and Premiere Pro 15.0 and later, the tools list support for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Audition. This build is version 1.2.6.trial, last updated in May 2023.

Frequently asked questions

Does ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial work with After Effects and Premiere Pro?

ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial lists compatibility with After Effects 18.0 and later and Premiere Pro 15.0 and later, covering both video applications. Support extends beyond video too, with Photoshop 22.0+, Illustrator 25.4+, InDesign 16.0+ and Audition also on the compatibility list. If your Adobe version falls below these minimums, the trial may not install or run correctly, so check your application versions first. Since this is the trial edition, running it against your own projects is exactly what the 15-day window is meant for.

How long does the ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial last?

ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial runs with limited functionality and expires after 15 days. The developer recommends testing the trial during that period to make sure everything works as expected before purchasing the full version. This build is version 1.2.6.trial, last updated in May 2023. Once the trial period ends, you would need the full version to continue, and the trial should be removed before that upgrade.

How do I upgrade from ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial to the full version?

ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial should be uninstalled before you upgrade to the full version, as the developer advises. The trial installs as its own entry under Window > Extensions > ExtendScript Developer Tools - TRIAL, separate from the full release, so removing it first avoids having both present at once. After uninstalling the trial, you can install the full version from the developer's page. Confirming the tools work as expected during the trial period is a sensible step before making that move.

Is ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial free?

ExtendScript Developer Tools Trial is listed as free here in the catalog, since it is the time-limited trial edition rather than the paid release. The full version is a separate product, and the trial is intended for testing before you buy. For current licensing terms on the full product, check the developer's page. Keep in mind the trial runs with limited functionality and expires after 15 days, so it is meant for evaluation rather than long-term use.
