More than 90 effects and transitions
Every new effect and transition is GPU accelerated and plays back in real time as soon as you drop it on a clip, even after you change its settings. Use them as they are, or tweak every parameter yourself.
- Classic transitions, redone. Smooth dissolves, blurs and wipes.
- Transitions with attitude. Earthquake, glitch, distortion, VHS damage, chaos and kaleidoscope.
- 3D transitions. Add depth between shots.
- Looks and textures. Glows, bokeh, light rays, halation, shaped vignettes, RGB channel shifts, chromatic aberration and a realistic camera shake.
New animation tools
Animating text, video and graphics now works like dropping on a transition. Make titles grow, pop, wiggle or catch a sweep of light, or turn flat 2D text into a 3D animated title with shadows and depth. For quick motion graphics, you can stay in Premiere instead of going to After Effects.
Surprise Me
Every new effect, transition and animation has a Surprise Me button. Click it to see a new variation each time, which is a quick way to find a look you wouldn't have thought of.
