Working with effect presets
Effect presets
Premiere Elements includes several effect presets, which are common, preconfigured effects that you can apply to clips.
For instance, the Tint Blue preset adds a light blue tint to an entire image. Typically, presets provide good results without
having to adjust their properties. After you apply a preset, you can change its properties. You can also create your own
presets.
The included effect presets are available under the Presets category in the Effects panel. Presets are grouped in the
following categories:
Bevel Edges Create thick or thin edges that resemble picture frames.
Blurs Create blurs of varying degrees at the In or Out points of a clip.
