Why we like it

Scarface earns its place for a narrow, practical job: refreshing timeline clips on demand, with optional offline-reconnect and file-info readouts. It's a version 1.0.0 release from 884tak, listed in the Adobe Exchange library.

What is Scarface?

Scarface is an extension for Premiere Pro, described by its developer as simple but powerful. It updates clips directly from the timeline: select a clip, press the button, and the clip is updated. The extension operates from a panel in Premiere Pro.

Two optional checkboxes change what happens. With Force update checked, the selected clip is temporarily made offline media and then reconnected. With Info checked, the panel shows the file name, the date and time the file was modified, and the full file path.

This is version 1.0.0, released in August 2021, and it runs on Premiere Pro 8.0 and later. Scarface is listed here as free; check the developer's page for current licensing details. It's available through the Adobe Exchange marketplace.

Who is Scarface best for?

Scarface is best for premiere Pro editors who need to update or reconnect clips from the timeline and check a clip's file name, modification date, and path.

How much does Scarface cost?

Frequently asked questions

Which versions of Premiere Pro does Scarface support?

Scarface is compatible with Premiere Pro 8.0 and later. Installed as an extension, it lets you update a selected timeline clip by pressing a button, so Premiere Pro releases from version 8.0 onward should be able to run it. Its listed release is version 1.0.0, dated August 2021, so compatibility with Premiere Pro versions released after that date isn't confirmed here. Check the developer's page on Adobe Exchange for current compatibility information before installing.

What does the Force update option in Scarface do?

Scarface includes a Force update checkbox. When it's checked, the selected clip is temporarily made offline media and then reconnected, instead of being updated in a single step. This gives you an offline-and-reconnect route to refreshing a clip. When Force update is left unchecked, selecting a clip and pressing the button performs a standard update. Either way, the action applies to the clip you've selected on the timeline.

What information does the Info option in Scarface show?

Scarface has an Info checkbox. When it's enabled, the panel displays the file name, the date and time the file was modified, and the file path. Those three details are shown together in the extension's panel. When Info is left unchecked, that file information is not displayed. The option relates to the clip you've selected on the timeline, so you can view the details of the file behind it.

Is Scarface free to use?

Scarface is listed here as free, so you shouldn't expect a purchase cost for this extension. That said, licensing terms can change over time, so it's worth confirming the current details on the developer's page on Adobe Exchange before you rely on it. The listing covers version 1.0.0, and the extension is distributed through the Adobe Exchange marketplace, which is where you'll find the download and any up-to-date terms.
