Adobe Premiere Pro
basehead has hardwired Target App support for Premiere Pro — Spot to Track (with or without handles), Xfer to Bin, and Follow Session Folder.
What you can do
- Spot to Track with or without handles — S
- Xfer to Bin — X
- Follow Session Folder
Install the basehead PPro panel
The basehead PPro panel ships in the basehead full installer. After installing, re-open Premiere Pro and you’ll find the basehead panel under Window → Extensions.
The panel must stay open. Premiere Pro requires the panel to be visible for basehead to communicate with it — close it and the connection drops. (Stupid requirement, but it’s an Adobe thing.)
Spotting to a track
To spot a file directly to Premiere Pro:
- Select the audio track where you want the file to land (typically named A1–A8).
- Place the playhead at the desired location.
- Switch back to basehead and press S — the file lands on the selected track at the playhead position.
Xfer to Bin only
If you only want files in the Media Bin (not on the timeline), use X instead of S.
Premiere Pro doesn’t have a dedicated Audio Files folder like most DAWs, so we auto-create a _bhAudio subfolder next to the .prproj file and place new files there. Search this Knowledge Base for Follow Session Folder for more.
