Save time by using plugins to create presets for common looks in Premiere Pro – reuse easily, apply quickly and tweak \u00a0in deadline situations!<\/h2>\n

Most After Effects users are already familiar with using aescripts.com.<\/p>\n

These plugins are generally made by individuals and are often designed to solve a workflow problem or simplify a repetitive process (like creating a vignette).<\/p>\n

There is also a sense of community built around using these plugins. \u00a0Some \u00a0creators give them away for free or sell them\u00a0cheaply\u00a0(under $50 or a ‘name your own price’ option).<\/p>\n

Recently aescripts.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(maker of quality scripts for After Effects)\u00a0started offering\u00a0plugins that work in\u00a0Premiere Pro<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Effects created with the ‘Adobe Plugin’ format<\/strong> can be used in After Effects as well as\u00a0Premiere\u00a0Pro<\/strong>. \u00a0This makes it a double ‘bang for your buck’ for post production professionals that have an all Adobe workflow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at a real-world application for using these effects in a\u00a0Premiere\u00a0Pro project<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Simplifying Repetitive Tasks in Premiere<\/h3>\n

A common task in Premiere Pro<\/strong> is to add a vignette using an adjustment layer.<\/p>\n

There isn’t a quick way to create good vignettes in Premiere Pro without buying a plugin. \u00a0Because the the plugins we are using are “name your own price” this is a great solution. \u00a0Note, there are pro versions of these for $19.99 & 24.99 that offer more control.<\/p>\n

Downloading & Installing<\/h3>\n

Check out the Premiere Pro\u00a0effects at AEScripts.com<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m using “ft-Vignetting-Lite”. \u00a0They will email you a download link, and then you need to install the script\/plugin.<\/p>\n

You’ll want to install it so\u00a0Premiere Pro<\/strong> & After Effects<\/strong> can both use it, so it needs to be in a shared location. \u00a0MediaCore is a shared folder that both apps can access. \u00a0Since it is shared, we only have to install the script\/plugin once. \u00a0To access MediaCore:<\/p>\n
