User Guide
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 the Timeline panel.

Using effects from other products
In addition to the dozens of effects included with Adobe Premiere Pro, many effects are available in the form of
plug-ins, which you can purchase from Adobe or third-party vendors, or acquire from other compatible applica-
tions. For example, many Adobe After Effects plug-ins and VST plug-ins can be used in Adobe Premiere Pro.
However, Adobe officially supports only plug-ins that are installed with the application.
Any effect is available to Adobe Premiere Pro when its plug-in file is present in the common Plug-ins folder. On
Windows machines, install plug-ins to Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\<version>\MediaCore. On Mac
OS, install plug-ins to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/<version>/MediaCore or to
/<user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/<version>/MediaCore. 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. If you purchased
additional effects, purchased Adobe Premiere Pro as part of a hardware package, or removed files from the Plug-ins
folder, you may have a set of effects different from those described in Adobe Premiere Pro Help.
For a current list of third-party plug-ins, go to www.adobe.com/go/learn_dv_plugins.
Note: If you use effects not included with Adobe Premiere Pro and you want to open your project on another Adobe
Premiere Pro system, you must install the same effects on that system. When you open a project with references to
missing effects, Adobe Premiere Pro tells you which effects are missing, marks the effects as offline, and performs any
rendering without the effects.

About GPU-accelerated effects
If you have a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) card that supports Direct3D, Pixel Shader 1.3+, and Vertex Shader
1.1+, you can use three additional effects that take advantage of the video-processing capabilities of GPU cards and
of 3D shading: Page Curl, Refraction, and Ripple (Circular). These effects reside in the GPU Effects bin in the Effects
panel. They are supported on the Windows platform only.
Note: Not all effect options may be available if your graphics card doesn't have Pixel Shader 2.0 and Vertex Shader 2.0.
