USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 275 Effects and transitions Standard effects Standard effects are additional effects that you must first apply to a clip to create a desired result. You can apply any number or combination of Standard effects to any clip in a sequence. Use Standard effects to add special characteristics or to edit your video, such as adjusting tone or trimming pixels. Premiere Pro includes many video and audio effects, which are located in the Effects panel. Standard effects must be applied to a clip and then adjusted in the Effect Controls panel. Certain video effects allow direct manipulation using handles in the Program Monitor. All Standard effect properties can be animated over time using keyframing and changing the shape of the graphs in the Effect Controls panel. The smoothness or speed of the effect animation can be fine-tuned by adjusting the shape of Bezier curves in the Effect Controls panel. Note: The effects listed in the Effects panel depend on the actual effect files in the language subfolder of the Premiere Pro Plug-ins folder. You can expand the repertoire of effects by adding compatible Adobe plug-in files or plug-in packages available through other third-party developers. Clip-based and track-based effects All video effects-both Fixed and Standard effects-are clip-based. They alter individual clips. You can apply a clipbased effect to more than one clip at a time by creating a nested sequence. Audio effects can be applied to either clips or to tracks. To apply track-based effects, use the Audio Mixer. If you add keyframes to the effect, you can then adjust the effect either in the Audio Mixer or a Timeline panel. Effect plug-ins In addition to the dozens of effects included with Premiere Pro, many effects are available in the form of plug-ins. You can purchase plug-ins from Adobe or third-party vendors, or acquire from other compatible applications. For example, many Adobe After Effects plug-ins and VST plug-ins can be used in Premiere Pro. However, Adobe officially supports only plug-ins that are installed with the application. Any effect is available to Premiere Pro when its plug-in file is present in the common Plug-ins folder: • (Windows) Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\\MediaCore • (Mac OS) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins//MediaCore Using the installer for a plug-in is the best way to make sure the plug-in and its related files are installed in the right place.

USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
Effects and transitions
Last updated 1/16/2012
Standard effects
Standard effects are additional effects that you must first apply to a clip to create a desired result. You can apply any
number or combination of Standard effects to any clip in a sequence. Use Standard effects to add special characteristics
or to edit your video, such as adjusting tone or trimming pixels. Premiere Pro includes many video and audio effects,
which are located in the Effects panel. Standard effects must be applied to a clip and then adjusted in the Effect
Controls panel. Certain video effects allow direct manipulation using handles in the Program Monitor. All Standard
effect properties can be animated over time using keyframing and changing the shape of the graphs in the Effect
Controls panel. The smoothness or speed of the effect animation can be fine-tuned by adjusting the shape of Bezier
curves in the Effect Controls panel.
Note:
The effects listed in the Effects panel depend on the actual effect files in the language subfolder of the Premiere Pro
Plug-ins folder. You can expand the repertoire of effects by adding compatible Adobe plug-in files or plug-in packages
available through other third-party developers.
Clip-based and track-based effects
All video effects—both Fixed and Standard effects—are
clip-based
. They alter individual clips. You can apply a clip-
based effect to more than one clip at a time by creating a nested sequence.
Audio effects can be applied to either clips or to tracks. To apply
track-based
effects, use the Audio Mixer. If you add
keyframes to the effect, you can then adjust the effect either in the Audio Mixer or a Timeline panel.
Effect plug-ins
In addition to the dozens of effects included with Premiere Pro, many effects are available in the form of plug-ins. You
can purchase plug-ins from Adobe or third-party vendors, or acquire from other compatible applications. For
example, many Adobe After Effects plug-ins and VST plug-ins can be used in Premiere Pro. However, Adobe officially
supports only plug-ins that are installed with the application.
Any effect is available to Premiere Pro when its plug-in file is present in the common Plug-ins folder:
(Windows) Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\<version>\MediaCore
(Mac OS) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/<version>/MediaCore
Using the installer for a plug-in is the best way to make sure the plug-in and its related files are installed in the right
place.
When you open a project with references to missing effects, Premiere Pro does the following:
tells you which effects are missing
marks the effects as offline
performs any rendering without the effects
For a current list of third-party plug-ins, see the
Adobe website
.
Toolfarm
provides a list of third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro.
For information about the Premiere Pro Developer Center (SDK resources for plug-in development), see the
Adobe
website
.

on using the Pop & HSL Tool in Looks 2 (Magic Bullet Suite 11).
Note:
To edit a project containing add-on plug-ins on more than one computer, install the plug-ins on all the computers.
