Find and group effects
Standard effects are listed in the Effects
panel and are organized into two main bins, Video Effects and Audio
Effects. Within each bin, Adobe Premiere Pro lists effects by type
in nested bins. For example, the Blur and Sharpen bin contains effects
that defocus an image, such as Gaussian Blur and Directional Blur.
Find audio effects in bins named for the type of audio clips they
support: mono, stereo, or 5.1. You can also locate an effect by
typing the effect name in the Contains box. You can add bins to
contain your favorite or most frequently used effects.
To open the Effects panel, choose Window > Effects,
or click the Effects tab.
