Working with VST effects
Premiere Pro supports the Steinberg VST (Virtual Studio Technology) audio plug-in format so that you can add VST
audio effects from third-party vendors. Premiere Pro includes VST plug-in effects that are available in both the Audio
Mixer and the Effect Controls panel. Track-based VST plug-ins may provide additional controls. Apply VST effects
the same way you apply other audio effects to tracks or clips.
In the Effects And Sends panels of the Audio Mixer, VST effects appear in the Effect Selection menus. In the Effects
panel, they appear in the Audio Effects bin so you can apply them to individual clips. In most cases, VST effects appear
in the Audio Effects bin and track type that corresponds to the number of channels the effect supports. For example,
stereo VST effects appear in the Audio Mixer track effect menus for stereo tracks only, and in the Stereo bin in the
Audio Effects bin in the Effects panel. After you apply any VST effect, you can open a window with all of its controls.
You can leave multiple VST editor windows open as long as you want, such as when automating effects, but Premiere
Pro closes all VST editor windows when you close the project.
If you previously installed a VST-compatible application other tha Premiere Pro, Premiere Pro finds VST effects in the
VST folder that already exists. Inside the Plug-ins folder of the Premiere Pro application folder, there is also a
VSTPlugins folder with plug-ins that are used only by Premiere Pro.
Note: When you use a VST effect not provided by Adobe, the specific control layout and results of the plug-in are the
responsibility of the plug-in manufacturer. Adobe Premiere Pro only displays the controls and processes the results.
