Learn about audio and video effects in Premiere Pro and how you can use the Effect Controls panel to manage them effectively.

Use effects in Adobe Premiere Pro to enhance and modify video and audio clips. Effects allow you to adjust motion, opacity, time, and sound. 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.

Premiere Pro has various effects categorized based on functionality and processing type for a continuous and efficient editing experience. You can also control the intensity of effects with the values you set for them and animate them using keyframes in the Effect Controls or Timeline panels.

You can create and apply presets for all your effects to speed up your editing process and streamline your workflow.
