The basics of effects and animations

The use of effects and animation techniques will significantly enhance your video material. Effects in Premiere Pro are versatile and offer you numerous ways to add visual depth and dynamics to your clips.

You can use keyframes to dynamically change specific properties of a clip. This technique allows you to create animations that increase viewer interest and emphasize key information.

Add the first effect

To connect effectively, start by adding an effect to your clip. To do this, click on the selection you want to apply in the effects area. Premiere Pro offers a wide range of effects, simply click on the effect you want and drag it onto the clip in your timeline.

Once you have dragged the effect onto the clip, you can make adjustments in the effect settings. Here you can change the intensity of the effect or customize it to your liking.

Animating effects with keyframes

Using keyframes is one of the best ways to create animations in Premiere Pro. Set keyframes at the desired points in the timeline. To do this, activate the U sign to animate the desired property.

An example of this could be changing the zoom or opacity of a clip. Define the start and end values by setting keyframes at the corresponding points. Premiere Pro interpolates the values in between to create an effortless animation.

Tips for creative effects

Creative effects can turn simple clips into captivating stories. Don't be afraid to combine different effects. By experimenting with the different possibilities, you can achieve unique results.

Let your creativity run wild and discover what makes your video truly unique. Also remember that less is often more. Use effects selectively to support the essence of your story - and not to overwhelm it.
