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\
(Mac OS) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/
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

Note: To edit a project containing add-on plug-ins on more than one computer, install the plug-ins on all the computers.
GPU-accelerated effects
Some effects can take advantage of the processing power of a certified graphics card to accelerate rendering. This acceleration of effects using
CUDA technology is a component of the high-performance Mercury playback engine in Premiere Pro.
