Why we like it

Smartevo earns a listing in the Adobe Exchange library at rank 307, offered free here. Its focus is narrow: keeping team annotations inside the Premiere Pro and After Effects workspace so feedback doesn't live on a separate screen.

What is Smartevo?

Smartevo is a plugin for Premiere Pro and After Effects that brings your team's annotations directly into your editing workspace. Rather than switching screens to chase feedback, you open your tool and the comments are already there, so there's no back and forth and no lost comments.

The plugin is available for both Premiere Pro and After Effects, version 14.0 and later, and is listed here as free. The current release is version 1.1.1, last updated on 30 June 2026, which fixed the language selection.

Smartevo appears in the Adobe Exchange library, where it sits at rank 307. For teams that review work inside Premiere Pro or After Effects, it keeps annotations in the same place as the edit, cutting out the screen switching that comes with checking feedback elsewhere.

Who is Smartevo best for?

Smartevo is best for teams that review and annotate video inside Premiere Pro and After Effects and want feedback available in the same workspace.

How much does Smartevo cost?

Smartevo is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

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

Smartevo supports Premiere Pro 14.0 and later and After Effects 14.0 and later. If you're running either application at version 14.0 or above, the plugin is compatible. Both hosts are covered, so a team split across Premiere Pro and After Effects can use it in either environment. For anything below 14.0, or to confirm the exact build you're on, check the developer's page before installing.

Is Smartevo free to use?

Smartevo is listed here as free, so you can add it to Premiere Pro or After Effects without a purchase. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current pricing and any conditions before you rely on it for a project. The free label reflects the entry at the time of listing rather than a guaranteed permanent status.

What changed in Smartevo version 1.1.1?

Smartevo version 1.1.1 was last updated on 30 June 2026, and its recent change fixed the language selection. That's the notable item in the current release. For a full history of earlier changes or details on what the language selection covers, the developer's page is the place to look, since the update here notes the fix without spelling out the rest.
