Chapter 11: Effects and transitions

About effects

Premiere Pro includes a variety of audio and video effects that you can apply to clips in your video program. An effect
can add a special visual or audio characteristic or provide an unusual feature attribute. For example, an effect can alter
the exposure or color of footage, manipulate sound, distort images, or add artistic effects. You can also use effects to
rotate and animate a clip or adjust its size and position within the frame. You control the intensity of an effect by the
values that you set for it. You can also animate the controls for most effects using keyframes in the Effect Controls
panel or in a Timeline panel.
You can create and apply presets for all effects. You can animate effects using keyframes and view information about
individual keyframes directly in a Timeline panel.
For lists and descriptions of the effects and transitions, see
and transitions list" on page 404.
Fixed effects
Every clip you add to a Timeline panel has Fixed effects pre-applied, or built in. Fixed effects control the inherent
properties of a clip and appear in the Effect Controls panel whenever the clip is selected. You can adjust all of the Fixed
effects in the Effect Controls panel. However, the Program Monitor, Timeline panel, and Audio Mixer also provide
controls that are often easier to use. The Fixed effects include the following:
Includes properties that allow you to animate, rotate, and scale your clips, adjust their anti-flicker property, or
Motion
composite them with other clips. (To adjust the Motion effect in the Program Monitor, see
rotation" on page 293 and "Animate motion in the Program
Lets you reduce the opacity of a clip for use in such effects as overlays, fades, and dissolves.
Opacity
Lets you slow down, speed up, or reverse playback, or freeze a frame, for any part of a clip. Provides
Time Remapping
fine control for the acceleration or deceleration of these changes.
Controls the volume for any clip that contains audio. (For information about adjusting the Volume effect, see
Volume
"Adjust volume with keyframes" on page 237,
the Audio Mixer" on page 238,
and "Normalize the Master track" on page 236.)
Because Fixed effects are already built in to each clip, you need only adjust their properties to activate them.
Premiere Pro renders Fixed effects after any Standard effects that are applied to the clip. Standard effects are rendered
in the order in which they appear, from the top down. You can change the order of Standard effects by dragging them
to a new position in the Effect Controls panel, but you can't reorder Fixed effects.
If you want to change the render order of Fixed effects, use Standard effects instead. Use the Transform effect in place
of the Motion effect. Use the Alpha Adjust effect in place of the Opacity effect, and the Volume effect in place of the
fixed Volume effect. While these effects are not identical to the Fixed effects, their properties are equivalent.
See these video tutorials on Fixed Effects by Andrew Devis on the Creative COW website.
Note: The In these videos the effects are referred to as Transform effects, he means fixed effects. For more about Transform
effects, see "Transform effects" on page 399.
