Premiere Pro Plugin

Plugins extend the capabilities of your favorite video editing application. Plugins can do different things. Effects plugins, for example, are used to enlarge your creative toolset and add more effects to your library of video effects. Importer- and Exporter-plugins, on the other hand, are used to support additional codecs and image formats.  

We'll be talking about plugins that are used for additional video effects and video transitions. Like our plugin for Premiere Pro transitions.

While the host software, in our case Adobe Premiere, contains a good list of effects and video transitions on its own, there is still a need for more. Having the best video transitions and effects out there will expand your creative toolset for producing high-quality video content. Plugins can do just that: Add more creative and professional effects to the host Premiere Pro. 

Plugins versus Presets

Plugins are software components. They integrate seamlessly with the host application. The goal is to bring cool new effects to your NLE (Non-linear-editing application). While a preset is just a snap-shot of a specific setting for a particular effect.

When Premiere launches, it looks for any installed 3rd party plugins on your computer. You'll see the list of effects come by during the Adobe Premiere Pro splash screen. That's done in mere seconds. Plugin loading is very rapid. Did you know that Premiere Pro will create a plugin loading cache? This saves even more time during the launch of the application.

Both presets and plugins are listed in the Effects Library inside Premiere

They can both be dragged from the Effects Panel onto your edits. So, the usage behavior is very similar. Presets are a big help to apply common settings for specific plugins and effects.
