You can export feedback from Screenlight so that you can import it into Adobe Premiere Pro using our new Screenlight Add-on.

1. Install the Screenlight Add-on for Adobe Premiere Pro

You'll need to install the free Screenlight panel from the Adobe Creative Cloud Add-ons site. You can access the site directly from Premiere Pro by selecting Window > Browse Add-ons.

Once you are at the Add-ons site, you can use the search tool to find the Screenlight panel or you can browse through the Premiere Pro Add-ons.

Once you've found the Screenlight Add-on, click on it to go to the detailed page with the application description, screenshots, and compatibility information. Click the Free button to install the app. The add-on will automatically be synched and installed using Creative Cloud.

You'll need CC (2014) or newer and Creative Cloud Sync enabled. The Screenlight panel works on Windows and Mac.

Once the Add-on has finished syncing, you'll receive a notification from the Creative Cloud app.

If Premiere Pro is currently open, you'll have to close it and re-open it before the panel can be loaded.

Once you're in Premiere Pro, you can load the panel by clicking Window > Extensions > Screenlight.

This will open up the panel where you can import a Premiere Pro marker file that you’ve exported from Screenlight.

2. Export markers from Screenlight

Sign into Screenlight and go to the video that you want to export feedback from.

Now click the Export comments button (it looks like a printer) that is just above the comment panel. Select Adobe Premiere Pro.

This will save a small .CSV file on your hard drive. Please make a note of where you saved the file. If you're using Safari, the file may open in another window. If this is the case, simply hit Command + S to save it to the location of your choice.

3. Import markers into Adobe Premiere Pro

Open the sequence that the markers apply to in Premiere Pro.

Click Window > Extensions > Screenlight to load the Screenlight panel.

Once the panel has been loaded, press the Add markers to sequence button.

This will open up a dialog box where you can select the .CSV marker file that you downloaded from Screenlight. When you have highlighted the file, double click it or click Open.

The markers will now appear in the Markers panel and in the Timeline panel of Premiere Pro.

A marker is placed for each comment from Screenlight. Comments that apply to a range of time use Range Markers. These range markers can overlap with other comments.

Single clicking a marker in either the marker panel or timeline panel will jump to that point in the sequence. Double clicking a marker will bring up the marker detail panel. From here you can edit the comments, change the marker color, or delete the markers you no longer need.
