Why we like it

LucidLink Panel earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library by keeping pin and cache controls inside Premiere Pro and After Effects, with a recent update extending support to the 2025 releases.

What is LucidLink?

LucidLink Panel is a workflow extension for Premiere Pro and After Effects, built for users handling dense media who want to manage what gets cached while they work. It fits within your Creative Cloud applications and centers on pinning and caching controls.

From the panel you can pin full sequences, folders, clips, or proxies, and unpin them just as quickly. Clip range caching lets you cache specific sequence ranges rather than everything, while cache metrics report real-time cache use and pinning stats. Quick settings adjust recommended settings for editing in Premiere Pro.

The panel runs on both MacOS and Windows. A recent update added support for the 2025 releases of Premiere Pro and After Effects, along with the ability to unset all pins and purge the cache on a per-filespace basis directly from the panel. For setup details and current licensing, visit the developer's page.
