About high bit-depth effects
Adobe Premiere Pro includes a number of video effects and transitions that support high bit-depth processing.
When applied to high bit-depth assets, such as v210-format video and 16-bit Photoshop files, these effects can be
rendered with 32 bit per channel pixels rather than the earlier standard 8 bit per channel pixels. The result is better
color resolution and smoother color gradients with these assets. Effects that support high bit-depth processing are
designated “high bit-depth” in their descriptions in Adobe Premiere Help. (See Effects: Reference.)
To enable high bit-depth rendering for these effects, select the Maximum Bit Depth video rendering option in
Project Settings.
Create a custom bin in the Effects panel for all the high bit-depth effects.

Working with discontinued effects
Discontinued effects residing in projects made in earlier versions of Adobe Premiere or Adobe Premiere Pro will
not work when the project is opened in the current version. Newer effects have replaced most of the older effects
and contain comparable, if not improved, features. You may replace the discontinued effects with new ones. Adobe
Premiere Pro does not retain discontinued effects; they are not listed in the Effects panel.
Applying, removing, and organizing effects
Find and group effects
Standard effects are listed in the Effects panel and are organized into two main bins, Video Effects and Audio Effects.
Within each bin, effects are grouped by type in nested bins. For example, the Blur and Sharpen bin contains effects
that defocus an image, such as Gaussian Blur and Directional Blur. Audio effects are also grouped by the type of
audio clips they support: mono, stereo, or 5.1. You can also locate an effect by typing the effect name in the Contains
text box. You can add bins to contain your favorite or most frequently used effects.
To open the Effects panel, choose Window
> Effects, or click the Effects tab.
