How to Quickly Find Effects in Adobe Premiere Pro

The quickest way to find an effect in your Adobe Premiere Pro Effects Panel is using the search bar. Just start searching for the effect you want and Adobe will start filtering through the Effects list as you type. It’s not only handy, but it will speed things up for you a lot!

How to Overlay Your Clip Names in Adobe Premiere Pro

February 22, 2018 By Premiere Pro Tricks 5 Comments

UPDATE: Adobe has moved this effect to “Obsolete” which means someday it will disapear.

Have you ever wanted to overlay the name of each clip in your sequence timeline? I can’t say I have, but I know it could come in handy if someone ever wanted to see the filename of each clip you used in the edit.

Just add an Adjustment Layer on the video track above the clips in your timeline. Then find the “Clip Name” effect in your Effects list (Effects > Video Effects > Video > Clip Name) and drag it on to your Adjustment Layer.

Now head over to your “Effects Control Panel” and find your “Clip Name” Effect. Change the “Source Track” to the Video Source Layer with your clips on it. In my case, V1.

Now you can see each clip name overlayed above your video clip. Export that sucker and send it to your client for some really great micromanagement! Just kidding.

Load your Adobe Premiere Pro Source Monitor with Multiple Clips

February 17, 2018 By Premiere Pro Tricks 1 Comment

Did you know the shortcut for activating your source monitor is Shift+2? Now you do, so remember that.

Now, in your project panel hold down your shift key and select a bunch of video clips. Then drag those clips on to your source monitor.

Wait, nothing happened right? Well, hold on there cowboy.

Remember our source monitor shortcut at the top, “Shift+2”? Well, start hitting “Shift+2” over and over again.

You will start cycling through all those clips you just selected and drug up there.

Now knock yourself out and set in and out points and cycle through those clips like a pro and get that edit done!
