rotation, position the selection tool over a handle and drag when the rotation or scale
cursor appears. To adjust position, place the selection tool anywhere on the clip
(except on a clip handle) and drag. Use a combination of adjustments to set the graphic’s
starting position.
5. Animate the graphic.
In the Effect Controls window, move the current-time indicator to the end of the timeline.
When you adjust the Photoshop file in the Program view, Adobe Premiere Pro
automatically
creates new keyframes for each property value that you change. Change the
Photoshop file’s position, scale, and angle in the Program view, using the area in and
around the video frame. To see the entire video frame and work area, select a setting such
as 25% for the View Zoom Level in the Program view.
When you reposition the graphic, a dotted motion path appears in the Program view. Each
dot represents a frame in the timeline; X’s represent keyframes.

6. Adjust the motion path in the Program view.
To create more interesting animations, you can adjust the shape of the motion path and
change the interpolation method for your keyframes. In the Effect Controls window, move
the current-time indicator to the middle of the timeline and click the Add/Remove
Keyframe button to add a new Position keyframe. In the Program view, drag the new
keyframe (which appears at the center of the anchor point) so that the motion path forms
an angle.
Next, change the interpolation methods of the keyframe so that the graphic’s speed
varies, simulating realistic movement. Right-click the center keyframe you just created in
the Effect Controls window and choose Fast In from the menu that appears to accelerate
the clip’s movement as it approaches the keyframe. Right-click the keyframe again and
choose Easy Curve Out to slow its movement as it exits the keyframe.
7. Add other effects.
You can add other video effects by dragging them to the clip in the Timeline window from
the Effects window. Or you can animate the Opacity effect to make the Photoshop file fade
to black by setting two keyframes: one with a value of 100%, the second with a value of
0%.
8. Preview the animation.
When you’ve completed your animation, press the spacebar to preview the results.
You can animate any clip using the methods discussed here or you can use the Transform
effect to skew the clip in addition to adjusting its position, scale, and angle.

Apply an Effect to an Entire Nested Sequence
In Adobe
®
Premiere
®
Pro, you can nest a sequence within another sequence. When you
apply an effect to a nested sequence, the effect applies uniformly to all clips in the
sequence, so nesting is a great way to apply an effect to multiple clips at one time. Once
you organize each section of a video program into sequences, you can nest them all in a
master sequence for your video program.
1. Set up the sequences.
You’ll need to have at least two sequences to use nesting. An Adobe Premiere Pro project
contains one sequence by default, so create a second sequence by clicking the New Item
button in the Project window and choosing New Sequence.
