Satish’s Frameserver released. And again, it’s free!
-
If the other application is capable of running frameserver as a plug-in, yes it is possible. For e.g. you can frameserve from Vegas -> Premiere, do some edits in premiere and frameserve from Premiere to another instance of Vegas without doing a full render to file anywhere.
However frameserver does not support AE or Photoshop yet so have to render/save out from these apps. Within the supported list of NLEs you can do this back and forth frameserving.

Just so I know, what kinds of things would one want to do in Premiere, that one could not do in Sony?
That is, what originally prompted you to write the Frameserver application?

Frameserver is not specific for Premiere.
The core idea is to take audio/video from your favourite application and pass it to another application without a full render, thereby saving on disk space and time. The initial reason frameserver was developed was to use video encoders which were working as standalone apps and converting say AVI -> MP4, but were not working as plugins for apps like Vegas. So if you want to use such an encoder with Vegas, you have to render uncompressed AVI from Vegas (huge disk space) and then run your encoder on this uncompressed AVI. Instead with the frameserver you create a tiny intermediate AVI which is the output of Vegas and input to your encoder, in real time.
Though it was created for this purpose, frameserver can be used between any application in which it works as a plugin and any other application which accepts standard AVI files.
