Adobe has introduced more than 90 new effects, transitions and animations in Premiere Pro.
The move is said to represent a “major boost” for the software, with new motion capabilities, major updates for audio editing and timeline playback and a range of additional improvements aiming to “make life better for editors”.
Adobe revealed that these tools are powered by its recent acquisition of Film Impact, whose high-value library is now seamlessly built into Premiere Pro.
The company has said it has listened to feedback to pair all new motion capabilities with quality-of-life upgrades that cut steps, smooth bumps, and keep editors in their creative flow.
More responsive timeline playback, dynamic visual waveforms and smoother, GPU-accelerated editing aims to keep creatives in the zone from start to finish.
This is said to be “just the beginning” of new effects workflows coming to Premiere Pro.
A breakdown of improvements, provided by Adobe, is available below.
More than 90 new transitions, effects and animations
The dozens of new dissolves, blurs and wipes now included in Premiere Pro are smooth, rich and elegant.
When you’re looking for something a little rougher around the edges, you can add attitude with earthquake, glitch, distortion, VHS damage and chaos transitions.
You even have a new collection of captivating 3D transitions that add depth to your videos.
Upgrade colour grading
The new library of effects in Premiere Pro helps you take your visuals to the next level faster than ever. The collection of glows, blurs and echoes help you add photorealistic bokeh, volumetric rays, glowing halation and dazzling glints to your clips.
Snappier timeline and smoother editing with GPU-acceleration
Now audio waveforms remain visible when dragging a clip or performing common edit tasks, like ripple/roll edits or rate stretch.
Plus, keyframes and markers are displayed alongside the waveform while dragging a clip too, helping you maintain sync with key audio or visual elements.
Adobe has also confirmed upgrades to After Effects, with After Effects 25.5 said to introduce a “big basket” of the features and improvements that matter most to professional motion designers.
This includes Quick Offset, a tool that allows you to highlight and shift the positions of multiple keyframes or layers with one simple click and drag, and significantly smoother zooming and navigation inside your comp viewer.
