AI video, stills and voice-over inside Premiere Pro and After Effects

An editor's AI workflow usually looks like this: open a browser tab, render, download, find the file, import, repeat. The eroq panel for Premiere Pro and After Effects collapses it into the panel itself — write the shot, pick the engine, and the clip is imported into the open project when it is done. Same for stills and voice-over.

One extension runs in both applications: Premiere Pro 2019 (v13) and later, After Effects 2019 (v16) and later, on macOS and Windows.

Install (beta)

During the beta the panel ships unsigned, which Adobe's apps refuse by default. The one-time switch is documented in the README inside the download:

1. Download the zip from eroq for Premiere Pro.
2. Allow unsigned extensions once — on macOS a single defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.<version> PlayerDebugMode 1 per CEP version your apps use; on Windows a registry string with the same name.
3. Copy the eroq folder into Adobe's CEP extensions folder (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\Adobe\CEP\extensions\ on Windows).
4. Restart the app and open Window → Extensions → eroq.

The switch is only needed because the beta package is unsigned.

Connect

The first screen is a single Connect eroq button. It opens eroq.ai in your browser; sign in and click Allow, and the browser hands the connection back to the panel on its own — no code to copy, no key to paste. The panel's key appears under Developers → API keys as « Premiere Pro on your computer (connected) » (or After Effects), revocable at any time. A pasted API key still works as a fallback.

Video

Write the shot, pick the engine and the length, pick the aspect, Generate.

• Engines by name. Seedance, Kling, Veo and the rest are listed with their availability and price; engines your plan does not open say which plan does. A five-second clip on Seedance 2.0 Mini is 45 credits, and eroq's own Motion One is 60 a clip.
• Renders take minutes. The panel waits — up to 45 minutes, the engines' own deadlines — and shows whether the job is waiting for a worker or generating. Keep editing meanwhile. If it gives up waiting, a Check again row resumes the same job, and the clip is in your eroq library either way.
• Imported where you work. The finished clip is imported into the open project and saved under ~/Documents/eroq/, with an Import again button per file.

Write prompts for video as motion plus camera: « slow dolly-in on a neon-lit alley in the rain, puddles rippling, handheld » beats a list of adjectives.

Stills

The Image tab renders in five formats — 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 9:16 — for plates, inserts, title backgrounds and thumbnails. Stills are imported like any other file (WebP renders are converted to PNG first, since neither app imports WebP). A picture is 10 credits on Krea 2.

Voice-over

Type the line, pick a voice — the roster or one of your clones — and the MP3 is imported next to your footage. Voice One costs 3 credits per 100 characters, so a thirty-second read is a handful of credits: cheap enough to temp every line of an animatic.

Premiere Pro or After Effects?

Same panel, different habits:

• In Premiere, it is a B-roll and temp-VO machine: fill the gaps in a cut, audition three versions of an establishing shot, lay a scratch voice under a sequence before the real session.
• In After Effects, it is a plate generator: backgrounds for comps, textures, insert shots at the frame format you need, and stills to project onto cards.

Limits worth knowing

• Clips land as files; they do not replace a timeline selection. You place them.
• Video-to-video engines (Replace) need a source clip and are not listed in the panel yet.
• The panel shows eroq's own error messages as they come — plan gates, balance, policy refusals. Failed renders refund themselves.

FAQ

Does it need an internet connection the whole time?

Only while connecting and rendering. Finished files are on your disk.

Can I use my own API key instead of the sign-in?

Yes — « Use an API key instead » on the first screen. Keys you paste are never revoked by the panel, since they may be in use elsewhere.

Is it on Adobe Exchange?

Not yet; the beta is a direct download with a one-time setup.

Does it slow Premiere down?

No. Requests run in the panel, rendering happens on eroq's side, and the app only imports finished files.

Get it from eroq for Premiere Pro or eroq for After Effects — it is the same download.
