Chapter 13: Applying Effects

Working with effects

Adobe Premiere Pro includes a variety of audio and video effects that you can apply to clips in your video program.

An effect can add a special visual or audio characteristic or provide an unusual feature attribute. For example, an

effect can alter the exposure or color of footage, manipulate sound, distort images, or add artistic effects. You can

also use effects to rotate and animate a clip or adjust its size and position within the frame. The intensity of an effect

is determined by values that you control. The controls for all effects can also be animated using keyframes in the

Effect Controls panel.

Adobe Premiere Pro has Fixed effects and Standard effects. Standard effects generally affect a clip’s image quality and

appearance, while Fixed effects adjust the clip’s position, scale, movement, opacity, and audio volume. By default,

Fixed effects are automatically applied to every clip in a sequence.

In Adobe Premiere Pro you can create and apply presets for all effects. You can animate effects using keyframes and

view information about individual keyframes directly in the Timeline panel.

Note: Adobe Premiere Pro can process all effects at an 8-bit color depth in the RGB colorspace. Some effects can be

processed at either 16-bit or 32-bit (floating point) depth and some in the YUV colorspace. Choose Project > Project

at the highest possible quality. Keep in mind that this option uses lots of processing power.
