Installation

Installing HyperShift Pro

Roughly five minutes, most of which is Premiere Pro restarting. These instructions cover Windows — the only platform HyperShift Pro is currently released on.

Get HyperShift Pro — $9.99Already bought it?

Your download and license key arrive by email from Polar the moment payment clears.

Windows 10 (1803+) or Windows 11 · Premiere Pro 26.x

  1. Step 01

    Check the requirements

    You need all of the following before you start:

    • Adobe Premiere Pro 26.x. HyperShift Pro is not offered for earlier versions, because its behaviour was verified against Premiere 26.
    • Windows 10 (1803 or newer) or Windows 11. Windows is the only platform HyperShift Pro is released on today.
    • Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. This is already present on Windows 11, and on Windows 10 it is installed alongside Microsoft Edge. You almost certainly already have it.

    macOS is not supported yet. See the compatibility section for why.

  2. Step 02

    Get your download and license key

    Checkout is handled by Polar, and so is delivery. The moment your payment goes through, Polar emails the address you bought with. That email contains both things you need:

    • A download link for HyperShift-Pro-1.0.1-Windows.zxp — a single signed ZXP file, the standard package format for Adobe extensions.
    • Your license key, which activates the extension.

    Keep that email. It is how you re-download the package when you move to another machine, and it is the fastest way to find your key again later.

    This website does not host the package itself. The download stays with Polar so it remains tied to a real purchase.

  3. Step 03

    Install the ZXP

    Windows cannot install a ZXP on its own; you need a ZXP installer. The aescripts ZXP/UXP Installer is free and is the one HyperShift Pro was tested with.

    1. Quit Adobe Premiere Pro.
    2. Open the ZXP installer.
    3. Drag HyperShift-Pro-1.0.1-Windows.zxp onto it, or use its Install button.
    4. Wait for it to report success.

    The package is signed, so you should not see a publisher or untrusted extension warning, and you do not need to enable any developer mode.

  4. Step 04

    Open it in Premiere Pro

    Start Premiere Pro and open a project. HyperShift Pro appears under Window ▸ Extensions ▸ HyperShift Pro.

    Open it once from that menu. After that you can summon the bar from anywhere in Premiere with your shortcut.

  5. Step 05

    Activate your license

    On first run HyperShift Pro asks for your license key. Copy it from the email Polar sent you after payment and paste it in.

    Copy the key whole, with no leading or trailing spaces. Activation happens inside the extension; there is nothing to do on this website, and you never enter a license key here.

    One key activates 2 computers at a time, and keeps working offline for up to 30 days between checks. Deactivate a machine to free the slot for another one.

  6. Step 06

    Set your shortcut

    The default on Windows is CtrlSpace. Open Settings inside HyperShift Pro to change it — pick a preset, or choose Custom and capture your own combination.

    Windows gives the shortcut to whichever application registers it first, so if your combination is already taken, HyperShift Pro tells you and you can pick another.

If something goes wrong

My receipt has not arrived
Check the spam or promotions folder for a message from Polar first, and search for the address you paid with. If it is genuinely missing, your purchase is not lost — email support with the address you used and your key and download will be sent again.
My license key is not accepted
Copy the key again from the email Polar sent you, making sure you have the whole thing and no stray spaces around it. If it still refuses, you may already be activated on 2 machines — deactivate one to free a slot, or get in touch and it can be released for you.
HyperShift Pro is not in the Extensions menu
Fully quit and reopen Premiere Pro — the extension list is read at startup. If it is still missing, confirm your Premiere version is 26.x and that the ZXP installer reported success.
The shortcut does nothing
Another application has probably registered the same combination — on Windows, whichever program claims it first keeps it. Open Settings inside HyperShift Pro, choose a different shortcut, and try again.
The bar appears with a title bar around it
That is the fallback window, which HyperShift Pro uses if its native floating window cannot start. Everything still works. Restarting Premiere Pro usually resolves it.
Updating to a newer version
Download the latest package from your Polar email and install it over the existing one. It updates the installation in place rather than creating a second copy. There is no automatic updater yet.

Bought before the move to Polar?

HyperShift Pro used to be sold through Lemon Squeezy. If that is where you bought it, nothing has changed for you: your license key still works, and your original Lemon Squeezy order page still has your download. New purchases go through Polar instead.

Still stuck?

Email support@hypershiftpro.com with your Premiere Pro version and the email address you bought with, and you will get a real answer from the person who built it.
