That certainly sounds interesting: as slashCam recently reported, fnord Software has released a plug-in that allows the two video formats WebM and Theora (.ogv) to be read and written in Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Media Encoder. Both are open-source formats and are therefore an alternative to H.264 and H.265.

The plug-in has initially been released as a beta. Further information can be found on the manufacturer’s website fnordware. WebM and Theora can be downloaded free of charge from GitHub. Further information about fnord can be found here.
