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 Effects and transitions list and Audio effects and transitions list.
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:
Motion
Includes properties that allow you to animate, rotate, and scale your clips, adjust their anti-flicker property, or composite them with other clips. (To
adjust the Motion effect in the Program Monitor, see Adjust position, scale, and rotation and Animate motion in the Program Monitor.)
Opacity
Lets you reduce the opacity of a clip for use in such effects as overlays, fades, and dissolves.
Time Remapping
Lets you slow down, speed up, or reverse playback, or freeze a frame, for any part of a clip. Provides fine control for the acceleration or
deceleration of these changes.
Volume
Controls the volume for any clip that contains audio. (For information about adjusting the Volume effect, see Adjust volume with keyframes, Adjust
volume in Effect Controls, Set track volume in the Audio Mixer, Adjusting gain and volumeNormalize one or more clips, and Normalize the Master
track.)
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.
The In these videos the effects are referred to as Transform effects, he means fixed effects. For more about Transform effects, see
Transform effects.
