First launch on Windows
Windows lets an unsigned installer through after one confirmation. Nothing else is needed.
- 01
Run the installer
Open Premation-Setup-Windows.exe from your downloads. It installs per-user, so no administrator prompt appears.
- 02
Click More info, then Run anyway
SmartScreen flags any installer it has not seen signed before. The Run anyway button is behind the More info link, not on the first screen.
- 03
Launch it
Windows does not ask again for this installer, and updates arrive in the app: Premation checks on launch and asks before downloading anything.
Questions
- Which Windows version does it need?
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with a GPU that supports Direct3D 12. There is no software renderer; integrated graphics from the last few years are fine.
- SmartScreen blocked the installer. Is it safe?
- The installers are not code-signed yet (1.0.1 included), so SmartScreen flags them as unrecognised rather than as malicious. Click More info, then Run anyway. It installs per-user with no administrator prompt.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The editor is GNU AGPL v3.0 and free, with no watermark. The installers use a free sign-in. Premation Cloud, the paid plan, adds hosting for your projects and Premation's own plugins.
- Do I need ffmpeg?
- No. Since 1.0.1 the installer ships the ffmpeg that video export uses. If export ever cannot run it, Premation says why and offers Fix video export, a one-click repair.
