PROMISE Plugin for Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Adobe® Photoshop®

Storage comes in all shapes and sizes, everything from a simple USB stick to huge data systems that hold billions of files. And just as storage varies, so do the applications that depend on it. One of the biggest users of large, fast, and reliable storage is the world of Rich Media and Entertainment.

Editors, photographers, filmmakers, and creators work with massive files every day. Whether it is 4K or 8K video, RAW photos, multi-layered graphics, or complex audio projects, these files put a lot of pressure on storage systems.

Creators need performance they can trust, especially when deadlines are tight and projects are constantly evolving.

As creative work becomes more demanding, it is no longer enough for storage to simply “hold files.” It also needs to work smoothly with the tools creators use. Adobe applications are widely used and essential to many professional workflows.

That is where PROMISE Technology steps in. By connecting storage management directly with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop, PROMISE makes it easier for creators to keep an eye on their storage without breaking focus.

Instead of switching windows or launching separate utilities, users can:

• • See what is happening with their storage right inside Adobe
• • Monitor drive health and RAID status
• • Get alerts when something needs attention
• • Stay organized and prevent issues before they interrupt a project

The idea is simple which is to give creators the information they need, right where they need it. With this approach, PROMISE helps keep workflows running smoothly so creators can spend more time focusing on their craft and less time worrying about what is happening behind the scenes.

PROMISE PEGASUS SOLUTION

The PROMISE Pegasus Series has long been a favorite among filmmakers, editors, photographers, and studios

because it delivers something every creator needs: fast, dependable storage that does not get in the way of the

work. Whether you are cutting a documentary, color-grading a commercial, or organizing a massive library of RAW photos, Pegasus systems are built to keep up with the demands of modern content creation.

PROMISE designs the Pegasus line to fit different types of creative workflows from small or large, simple or complex.

Instead of forcing creators into a single setup, the Pegasus family offers several models so users can choose the

performance and capacity that match their needs.

Key Pegasus Models

• • Pegasus32 Series – Thunderbolt™ 3 storage trusted by many professional content creators for video editing, audio production, and large-file workflows.
• • PegasusPro Series – A hybrid solution combining Thunderbolt with 10GbE networking, perfect for collaborative teams who need both high-speed direct-attach editing and shared access across a studio.

Each system delivers smooth playback, reliable RAID protection, and fast file transfers, three things that creative teams rely on in their storage systems.

The newest generation of Pegasus is the PROMISE Pegasus5, built for the next wave of high-resolution,

high-bandwidth media production. Designed for Thunderbolt™ 5, these systems represent an impressive leap in

speed and performance for current and future high-demand workloads.

Pegasus5 R12 / R12 Pro

• • Built for multi-channel editing, high-end color grading, RAW processing, and heavy data movement
• • The R12 Pro adds an additional logical drive consisting of four NVMe drives. It’s ideal to use as a scratch drive or for applications that require extreme data throughput.
• • Reliable, scalable, and efficient for growing project libraries and complex timelines

Pegasus5 systems are ideal for use in demanding environments such as post-production studios, on-set DIT carts, color suites, and any high-resolution workflow moving into 8K and beyond.

Beyond individual devices, PROMISE provides a broader Rich Media Solution designed to help creators stay organized, collaborate more easily, and protect their work. PROMISE’s approach covers every step of a media pipeline from capturing footage, to editing and finishing, to archiving final content.

This means a creator can use Pegasus for fast local editing, connect team members using PegasusPro shared

workflows, and integrate larger storage systems as projects grow. Everything is designed to be reliable, efficient, and simple enough that creators can stay focused on what they do best.

ADOBE SOLUTION AND WHY PROMISE PLUG-IN

Adobe apps like Premiere Pro and Photoshop are at the heart of modern creative workflows. They are powerful tools for editing video, building motion graphics, touching up photos, and organizing huge media libraries. But as creative projects get bigger whether 4K/8K video, large RAW files, multiple timelines running at once; the quality of the storage used for storing assets becomes a key factor in the workflow.

Many creators using Pegasus storage rely heavily on Adobe tools every day, and one thing we kept hearing was that managing storage while juggling project files creates a distraction that takes time and interrupts workflow. Creators wanted something simple, fast, and right inside the Adobe apps they use most.

That is why we built the PROMISE Plugin for Adobe.

Instead of switching between Adobe, Finder, and PROMISE Utility just to check space, monitor drive health, or manage media, the plugin brings everything together in one place. You get quick, direct access to your Pegasus storage inside Adobe, helping your workflow stay smooth, organized, and interruption-free. It simplifies your editing process, enables real-time monitoring, and boosts overall efficiency so whether you are jumping between sequences in Premiere Pro or exporting heavy files in Photoshop, your storage works as seamlessly as your creative tools.

BENEFITS FOR PROMISE WEBPAM5.0 PLUG-IN

While our goal is to better serve our customers, there are benefits for our company as well. The PROMISE Plugin for Adobe discreetly integrates Pegasus storage directly into everyday creative workflows, in a fashion becoming part of the editing process. Creators get seamless workflow integration, and PROMISE is able to use feedback from customers to build better systems geared toward how creators actually use them.

Real-time system monitoring enables users to see RAID health and performance right inside the Premiere Pro workspace, so they are less likely to run into storage related issues that can distract them from their work. This can reduce the need for technical support on our end.

When our customers can manage their Pegasus products without switching apps or bouncing between tools, this improves user experience and instills confidence in the Pegasus brand.

And because the plugin is distributed through Adobe Exchange, it lives inside the Creative Cloud ecosystem. That means easier access for users and more visibility for PROMISE in the broader creative community.
