How to apply presets in Premiere Pro?

Adding a regular preset to the timeline

This way, you can add any regular preset to the timeline that is not a video transition, for example, footage, motion design elements, sounds, etc.

  1. On the timeline, move the time indicator to the frame where you want to add the preset.
  2. Select a preset in the Motion Bro plugin and click ‘Apply’. The preset will be added by the time indicator.

Adding a transition preset to the timeline

You can use this method to add a video transition between two scenes.

  1. On the timeline, select all clips and other layers you want to connect via a video transition.
  2. Select a preset in the Motion Bro plugin and click ‘Apply’.   

Setting the duration of a transition preset

Before you add a transition preset to the timeline, you can change its duration. To do this, expand the Duration Bar and select the appropriate animation speed by clicking on one of the marks on the duration bar.
