# Adobe Video Partner brief

**Status:** prepared for an owner-operated Adobe Video Partner application.
This document is not an application, endorsement, Marketplace listing, or
claim of Adobe affiliation.

## Suggested application summary

MCP for Adobe Premiere Pro is a free, MIT-licensed local integration that lets
compatible AI clients use structured, capability-aware Premiere workflows. It
is designed for reviewable work: start with a read-only connection check,
inspect supported project state, preview meaningful changes where available,
and return explicit results or limitations. The recommended setup keeps the AI
client, server, connector, and Premiere host on the editor's computer.

The project complements Adobe's evolving native AI experiences. It does not
claim to replace them, to be affiliated with Adobe, or to provide unattended
editing, universal host compatibility, or a hosted relay into a customer's
desktop Premiere process.

## Evidence the owner should attach or link

1. A current release build and the Marketplace-targeted connector package only
   when it has passed the channel-specific validation.
2. Three real, redacted licensed-host walkthroughs: read-only connection
   verification, a review-first workflow, and a returned verification or
   limitation. Label simulations and illustrations as such.
3. The exact host version, operating system, artifact hash, workflow boundary,
   and observed result for every claimed demonstration.
4. Current privacy, security, and support pages, plus the reviewer instructions
   needed to install and test the local connector.

## Conversation goals

- Ask for feedback on UXP integration and distribution expectations.
- Offer a narrowly scoped design-partner evaluation using synthetic or
  facility-approved fixtures, not production media by default.
- Invite review of one repeatable workflow—Project Intake, review planning, or
  delivery preflight—rather than claiming general autonomous editing.

## Do not say

- "Adobe-approved," "Adobe-endorsed," or "Adobe-certified" before Adobe
  independently grants that status.
- "Marketplace available" before a public Marketplace URL is live.
- "Production-proven," "safe for every project," or "works on every Premiere
  version" without evidence for the specific workflow and host.
- That local-first architecture changes the privacy terms of a chosen AI client
  or model provider.

## Owner actions still required

1. Use the Adobe Video Partner Program's current application path and provide
   the final publisher/contact details.
2. Verify current Marketplace reviewer requirements in Adobe Developer
   Distribution; account status and requested materials are time-sensitive.
3. Approve any public contact, customer reference, screenshot, or demonstration
   before it is sent or posted.
