To open the extension in Premiere Pro or After Effects, choose **Window->Extensions->ShareBrowser(version)**.
Next, login as you would to ShareBrowser.

The panel will default to list view.

The :ref:`searching<Searching in ShareBrowser>`, :ref:`bin<Using Bins>`, and :ref:`metadata<ShareBrowser Tags, Comments and Custom Metadata>` behavior work
exactly the same as they do in ShareBrowser.

To add a clip to a Premiere Pro or After Effects project, select the clip(s) right-click and click the import button. Additionally you can double-click a clip to view it in the source window of Adobe Premiere.

To include Edit-ready proxies or ShareBrowser preview proxies in Adobe Premiere, go to Preferences in the ShareBrowser extension and choose a location to which you would like to download the proxy files. This will automatically download the edit-ready proxy if it exists, or the ShareBrowser preview proxy if not (nothing if neither exist).

After setting this up, proxies will automatically be downloaded and linked to the source media on import.


The **tags** and **comments** for these files will be imported as **Descriptions** and **Log Notes** in Premiere Pro
and the **comments** will be imported as **comments** in After Effects.
