Why we like it

Shade earns a spot in the Adobe Exchange library as a link between Premiere Pro and the Shade review workflow. The 0.0.3 version number marks it as early-stage software, so it's worth checking the developer's help center for the latest state.

What is Shade?

Shade is an extension that brings your Shade comments and asset version lifecycles into Premiere Pro, letting you manage them directly in the Adobe tool you already use for editing. It centers on two areas: the comments on your assets and the version lifecycles those assets move through.

The extension shows timestamped, marked-up comments, keeping notes attached to specific points, and it lets you link versions of your assets together. A Preview panel is part of the workflow for reviewing your material.

Listed on Adobe Exchange, Shade is compatible with Premiere Pro 25.0 and later. The current release is version 0.0.3, published on 11 February 2026, and it brings an improved Preview panel along with a refined login experience. Full documentation and setup guidance are available through the developer's help center.

Who is Shade best for?

Shade is best for premiere Pro editors who use Shade to handle asset comments and version tracking directly in the editor.

Frequently asked questions

Does Shade work with Premiere Pro 25.0?

Shade is compatible with Premiere Pro 25.0 and later, so if you're running that version or a newer one, the extension will work with your setup. It's listed on Adobe Exchange for installation into Premiere Pro. If you're on an older release of Premiere Pro, you'd need to update to 25.0 as a minimum before adding the extension. For the most current compatibility details, the developer maintains a help center you can check before installing.

Is Shade free to use?

Shade is listed as free in this catalog, so there's no purchase required to add it to Premiere Pro. Licensing terms can change over time, though, and this catalog doesn't track billing on the developer's side. For the current picture on pricing, accounts, or any usage limits tied to Shade, the developer's help center is the place to confirm before you build it into your workflow.

What changed in Shade version 0.0.3?

Shade version 0.0.3, published on 11 February 2026, brings an improved Preview panel and a refined login experience. If you're reviewing assets through the Preview panel or signing in to your Shade account from Premiere Pro, this update touches both of those areas. It's the current release listed here. For a full record of what each version includes, along with any later updates, the developer's help center is where you'll find the details.

Where can I get help setting up Shade?

Shade points users to a help center run by the developer for documentation and setup guidance. If you need to install the extension, connect it to your Shade account, or troubleshoot the login or Preview panel, that's the resource to start with. It sits at academy.shade.inc and covers the extension alongside the wider Shade service. For anything you can't resolve on your own, the help center is the official reference.
