Stream Premiere Pro to your iPhone
Premiere Pro loads Audio Unit and VST3 effects on the Mac. Put MixOutpost on the Mix track and your iPhone plays the sequence's mix, lossless and encrypted. We haven't tested it in Premiere yet, so this is how it's expected to work.
Set it up in Premiere Pro
- 01
Install MixOutpost
Run the free installer and include the Audio Unit and/or VST3. Restart Premiere so it finds the new effect.
- 02
Insert on the Mix track
Open Window › Audio Track Mixer, show the effects area, and add MixOutpost to the Mix track as the last effect.
- 03
Start Sharing and pair
Open the effect's editor, click Start Sharing, then Pair phone…, and scan the QR code with the MixOutpost iPhone app. You only pair once per Mac.
- 04
Play the sequence, tap Listen
Play from Premiere and tap Listen on the phone.
Premiere sequences usually run at 48 kHz, which matches MixOutpost's stream, so the phone gets a bit-exact copy of the Mix track.
Picture and phone aren't in sync
The phone plays about 60 to 200 ms behind your Mac's speakers, depending on the buffer and the Wi-Fi. That's fine for checking a mix, levels and loudness, but you'll notice it if you watch the picture on the Mac while listening for lip sync on the phone. Judge sync on your main monitors, and use the phone for translation and loudness.
What you can check from the phone
The same checks as in any host: mono and side-only listening, loudness with integrated LUFS and true peak, delivery targets like EBU R128, ATSC A/85 and Netflix, a diagnostic EQ, and recording to the phone. Up to eight phones can listen at once, so a director or client can hear it too (multiple listeners).
Status
Premiere Pro: expected to work with the AU or VST3; not yet tested. The Mac app works with Premiere today. MixOutpost runs on macOS, with the iPhone app on the App Store.
Questions
Does MixOutpost work in Premiere Pro?
It's expected to. Premiere Pro loads Audio Unit and VST3 effects on the Mac, and MixOutpost ships as both. We haven't confirmed it in Premiere yet; it's verified in Logic Pro and Ableton Live so far.
Where do I put the plugin in Premiere?
Open the Audio Track Mixer and add MixOutpost to an effect slot on the Mix track (the master), as the last effect. The phone then hears the whole sequence.
Will the phone be in sync with the picture?
No. The phone plays about 60 to 200 ms behind the Mac. Use it for translation and loudness, and judge lip sync on your main monitors.
Does exporting send audio to my phone?
No. MixOutpost skips offline renders, so exports aren't streamed and aren't slowed down.
What if the plugin doesn't load?
Use the MixOutpost Mac app with Mac audio (all apps). It shares everything the Mac plays, Premiere included, with no plugin.
