Extensions for Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects that bring your library, brand kits, frames, motion presets and content plans into the panel next to your work — no exporting, no switching tabs.
Our first extension: Logo Hub, icons, brand books, palettes, grids, mockups, QR codes and export in one Illustrator panel. Get your free licence key, download the installer, and paste the key into the panel the first time you open it.
Smart editing that runs on your computer: find the pauses in a talking-head or podcast edit, mark or cut them on a copy of your sequence, and tidy captions, including Arabic. Your footage never leaves your machine.
Installed panels get these from Settings › Updates. No reinstall needed.
Each extension signs in with your DirectionZ account, so your references, brand kits and team templates are already there. Tap “Notify me” on the ones you want first — it shapes what we ship next.
Browse your references, moodboards and Logo Hub inside Photoshop and place any of them as a linked smart object.
Apply your saved frame templates to the open photo, or to a whole folder, with orientation detected per photo.
Export artboards at every platform size with safe zones, then preview them in the Social Simulator in one click.
One panel for Logo Hub, 200,000+ icons, brand books and palettes, grids, mockups, QR codes and export, signed in with your licence and updated from its Settings.
Smart editing that runs on your computer: finds the pauses in talking-head and podcast edits, marks or cuts them on a copy of your sequence, and tidies captions, including Arabic.
Drag titles, lower thirds and infographics from Motion Presets straight onto the timeline, already in your brand colours.
Open a Slideshow Studio edit as a native sequence: every slide, transition and text as clips you can trim.
Client logos, colours and fonts in a panel, ready to drop on titles, end cards and watermarks.
Build compositions from Motion Presets and SVG Logo Animator templates, with every layer and keyframe editable.
Create comps at every platform size from one master, with safe-zone guide layers that never render.
Render approved comps and add them to the client’s content plan with caption and date, ready for approval.
Dates are targets, not promises. Waitlist numbers move extensions up the list.
Download the package from this page and install it with the Creative Cloud desktop app or the Adobe UXP / ZXP installer. One install per app.
Open the DirectionZ panel from the Window › Extensions (or Plugins) menu and sign in. Your workspaces and team templates load automatically.
Place references, apply frames, drop presets and push finished work back to DirectionZ — the panel stays docked beside your canvas.

Tell us the step in your workflow that still means exporting, renaming or copying between apps.
The core panels will be free with a DirectionZ account, like the studio itself. Team features follow your workspace.
The 2023 releases and newer. Photoshop and Illustrator use Adobe’s modern UXP platform; Premiere Pro and After Effects start on CEP and move to UXP as Adobe completes it.
Only when you choose to save something to DirectionZ, such as publishing a logo or adding a render to a content plan. Placing items and applying presets happen locally.
Yes. Frames, presets and brand kits shared with your team or workspace appear for everyone who signs in.
Tap “Notify me” on any extension, or on “every release” at the top. We will let you know in DirectionZ when it ships.
