FlowCaster Live Review UXP Panel

FlowCaster.liveDrastic Technologies has provided tools and solutions for Adobe editor workflows for decades, and expands on this relationship with the release of the FlowCaster Live Review UXP Panel. The panel is available for free, but it requires a licensed install of FlowCaster software to run. The UXP Panel replaces the CEP Panel for Adobe 2026+.

new uxp panel

The FlowCaster Live Review Panel is an Adobe UXP Extension Panel, a web application using a stack of technologies known as Unified Extensibility Platform (UXP), which is a new architecture that provides commonly used APIs across different Creative Cloud applications. The panel provides real time feedback between Adobe editors (Premiere, After Effects etc.) and Drastic applications including FlowCaster, and the flowcaster.live site.

This UXP Panel is available for Adobe 2026. If you are running an earlier version of Adobe (2025 and prior), please review the Adobe CEP Live Review Panel.

The below instructions assume you have a licensed install of FlowCaster software on the system, and are familiar with our FlowCaster.live remote collaboration site.

Install the Panel

The panel is available for immediate download, at: https://www.drastic.tv/downloads/flowcaster/live.flowcaster.panel_premierepro.ccx

Once it has been downloaded you can install it by double clicking on the .ccx from your downloads folder.
