You can stack multiple effects onto multiple video layers and play them back 
without rendering, often in real time.

The 32-bit floating-point pipeline supports all the 32-bit effects available in 
Adobe Premiere Pro.
We don’t have the space in this lesson to explain the more than 140 video effects 
included with Adobe Premiere Pro. Instead, you will look at a representative 
sample of what’s available and learn how to apply the various types of parameters 
you’ll encounter. To really get a feel for the possibilities of Adobe Premiere Pro, 
you’ll need to do some experimenting.

ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS5 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK

Sampling some basic video effects
In this lesson, you will work with several effects, each offering something new in 
terms of its parameters or settings. Let’s begin by creating a custom bin for your 
most frequently used effects.
1
Start Adobe Premiere Pro, open Lesson 09-1.prproj, and choose Window > 
Workspace > Effects to switch to the Effects workspace.
2
If necessary, click the Effects tab next to the Project panel to make it visible.
3
Open the Video Effects folder.
4
Click the Effects panel menu, and choose New Custom Bin or click the 
New Custom Bin icon at the bottom of the panel.
The New Custom bin/folder appears in the Effects panel below Video 
Transitions.
5
Highlight the bin, and change its name to something 
like 
My Favorite Effects
.
6
Open any Video Effects folder, and drag a few effects 
into your custom bin.
#
 Note:
You’ll see 
many Video Effects 
categories. Some 
effects are difficult 
to categorize and 
could reside in 
multiple categories 
or in categories by 
themselves, but this 
taxonomy works 
reasonably well.
#
 Note:
The effects 
remain in their original 
folder and also appear 
in yours. You can use 
custom folders to build 
effect categories that 
match your work style.
