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, Adobe
Premiere Pro modifies the clip using the following rules:
• If the effect preset contains a fixed effect—motion, opacity, 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.

Create and save an effect preset
1 Display and select the clip that uses the effect with the settings that you want to save as a preset.
2 In the Effect Controls panel, select the effect you want to save, and choose Save Preset from the Effect Controls
panel menu. You can only save one effect at a time as a preset.
3 In the Save Preset dialog box, specify a name for your preset. If desired, enter a description.
4 Select one of the following preset types to specify how Adobe Premiere Pro will handle keyframes when you apply
the preset to a target clip, and then click OK:
Scale Scales the source keyframes proportionally to the length of the target clip. This action deletes any existing
keyframes on the target clip.
Anchor To In Point Positions the preset’s first keyframe at the same distance from the target clip’s In point as it was
from the original clip’s In point. For example, if the first keyframe was 1 second from the In Point of the source clip
when you saved the preset, then this option adds the keyframe at 1 second from the In point of the target clip, and
adds all other keyframes relative to that position, without any scaling.
Anchor To Out Point Positions the preset’s last keyframe at the same distance from the target clip’s Out point as it
was from the original clip’s Out point. For example, if the first keyframe was 1 second from the Out point of the
source clip when you saved the preset, then this option adds the keyframe at 1 second from the Out point of the
target clip, and adds all other keyframes relative to that position, without any scaling.
Apply an effect preset
❖ In the Effects panel, expand the Presets bin, and do one of the following:
• Drag the effect preset onto the clip in the Timeline panel.
• Select the clip in the Timeline panel, and then drag the effect preset into the Effect Controls panel.
Work with a custom or presets bin
Use custom bins to store your favorite effects, transitions, and presets in one place. You can create any number of
custom and preset bins. As a result, you can also use the bins to reorganize the effects, transitions, and presets into
categories that are intuitive to you or more appropriate for your project workflow.
