Applying Effects to Groups of
Clips
Paul Trani
Apply effects to groups of clips. Create a
multieffect preset, save it in a new custom
bin, and apply it to a group of clips.
In the Effects panel, the Presets bin contains presets for popular effects. You can save time by using a preset made for a specific purpose, rather
than configuring an effect yourself. For example, if you want a clip to blur in quickly, you could apply the Fast Blur effect and set keyframes for it
manually. You save time, however, by instead applying the Fast Blur In preset.
You can customize individual effect settings and save them as presets. You can then apply the presets to other clips in any project. When you
save an effect as a preset, you also save the keyframes you created for the effect. You create effect presets in the Effect Controls panel and
Premiere Pro stores them in the root Presets bin. You can organize them within the Presets bin using the nested preset bins. Premiere Pro also
ships with several effect presets, located in the application’s Presets folder.
To view the properties of an effect preset, select the preset in the Effects panel, and choose Preset Properties from the Effects panel menu.
If you apply a preset to a clip and the preset contains settings for an effect that is already applied to the clip, Premiere Pro modifies the clip using
the following rules:
If the effect preset contains a fixed effect—motion, opacity, time remapping, or volume—then the action replaces the existing effect settings.
If the effect preset contains a standard effect, the effect is added to the bottom of the current list of effects. However, if you drag the effect
into the Effect Controls panel, you can place the effect anywhere in the hierarchy.
