Video effects
Timecode effect
The Timecode effect overlays a timecode display on your video to make pinpointing scenes and collaborating with
team members and clients easier. The timecode display indicates whether the clip is progressive or interlaced. If the
clip is interlaced video, the symbol indicated whether the frame is the upper or lower field. Settings in the Timecode
effect let you control the display position, size, and opacity, as well as format and source options.
Position Adjusts the horizontal and vertical position of the timecode.
Size Specifies the size of text.
Opacity Specifies the opacity of the text.
Field Symbol Makes the interlaced field symbol visible or invisible to the right of the timecode.
Format Specifies whether timecode is displayed in the SMPTE format, in frame numbers, or in feet and frames of
35mm or 16mm film.
Timecode Source Chooses the source for the timecode:
• Clip Displays the timecode starting at 0 from the beginning of the clip.
• Media Displays the timecode of the media file.
• Generate Starts the timecode as determined by the Starting Time In The Offset option and counts up based on
the Time Display option.
Time Display Sets the timebase used by the Timecode effect. By default, this option is set to the project timebase
when the Timecode Source is set to Clip.
Offset Adds or subtracts up to 50 frames from the displayed timecode.
Label Text Displays a three character label to the left of the timecode. Choose from None, Automatic, and Camera
1 through Camera 9.
Audio effects
About audio effects in Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro includes VST (Virtual Studio Technology) audio plug-ins designed to alter or enhance the
properties of audio clips. Most of these effects are available for mono, stereo, and 5.1 clips, and can be applied to
either clips or tracks, unless specified otherwise. If you have Adobe Soundbooth installed, Adobe Premiere Pro
automatically locates, recognizes, and uses the VST effects from that program as well.
Note: Each audio effect includes a bypass option that allows you to turn the effect on or off as specified by the keyframes
that you set.
Balance effect
The Balance effect lets you control the relative volumes of the left and right channels. Positive values increase the
proportion of the right channel; negative values increase the proportion of the left channel. Apply to stereo clips
only. This effect is available for stereo clips only.
