5 Top Tips For Cool Effects for Premiere Pro

Still in search of the best ways to work with free Premiere Pro effects? We've got more tips that help you do just that. Let's look at five top tips that help you enhance your videos significantly with less work than ever before.

1. Command Attention With Transitions

Transitions set the tone for a change in scenery. The problem is that many transitions are boring and don't get a viewer's attention. They're flat and simply blend scenes together without clear differentiation.

That's why it helps to use advanced transition effects. Check out a template pack like The Most Useful Transitions Pack for Premiere Pro.

2. Master the Art of Clip Effects

Many times, applying clip effects requires more time than you have. In those cases, you have the knowledge - but you need a time saving tip.

This is a big reason that Adobe introduced clip effects. This feature applies your cool effects Premiere Pro steps to multiple selections. Follow our tutorial that teaches you how to utilize clip effects. It works great with the free Adobe Premiere effects you saw.

3. Start With a Template

You might have guessed it from this article, but we're big fans of templates here at Envato Tuts+. They save our readers countless hours. Plus, they give you better results.

Still - too many video editors are resistant to using free effect Premiere Pro templates. Some feel like they should do everything from scratch so that it feels "authentic."

There's nothing wrong with using Premiere Pro effects free to get the ball rolling. They don't sacrifice the ability to customize. You can start with free Adobe Premiere Pro effects and customize them to your liking. Examples like the one from Mixkit below are the perfect option to save time.

4. Synchronize Audio to Your Effects

Remember: a video production is about the total experience of audio and visual effects. That's why it makes good sense to sync up your audio to powerful video effects. Imagine the video quaking when a heavy bass drum drops, for example.

David Bode's course on Advanced Premiere Pro has many techniques that can help you manage audio efficiently. Check it out to learn more about precise audio synchronization:

5. Bring the Digital World to Life

Have you ever considered how much of life takes place in the digital world? That's why it helps to use effects to show those moments that happen in the digital space.

When you want to simulate text messaging, this effect pack is a must. It brings your video to life and adds additional context. Plus, it saves you the complex work of shooting footage of a character's cell phone.
