Effective replacement of animation templates in Premiere Pro

Working with animation templates in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 has been significantly simplified by the April update. You can now seamlessly manage and replace animation templates from After Effects. This new feature opens up many creative opportunities for your projects without wasting time. In this guide, you will learn step by step how to effectively replace animation templates.

Key Takeaways

• After the April update of Premiere Pro CC 2018, you can manage After Effects animation templates more easily.
• You need After Effects to create your own animation templates and use them later in Premiere Pro.
• There is an intuitive drag-and-drop method to replace animation templates without affecting your previous work.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

Before you start replacing animation templates, make sure you have both Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 and After Effects installed. Animation templates are managed through the Essentials Graphics Suite.

Step 2: Selecting the Animation Template

Select the animation template you want to use in your project. You can choose either templates you created yourself or existing ones from the Essentials Graphics Suite.

Step 3: Customizing the Animation Template in After Effects

If you want to make adjustments to the selected animation template, open the template in After Effects. Here you can change various parameters such as colors, panels, or animations to suit your needs.

Step 4: Updating the Animation Template

To replace the modified animation template in Premiere Pro, go to the Essentials Graphics and search for the template you want to update.

Step 5: Using the Drag-and-Drop Method

Now comes the crucial step: Hold down the Alt key (or Option key on a Mac) and drag the updated animation template into your project window using the drag-and-drop method. Make sure that the template is above the original field – a green area will indicate that you can replace the template.

Step 6: Restoring the Original State

If you want to restore the original state of the animation template, you can also use the same drag-and-drop method. This allows you to quickly and efficiently switch between different versions of your animation template.

Step 7: Reviewing the Updated Template

After replacing, you should apply the animation template to your project and check if all desired changes have been correctly implemented.
