Exploring New Effects in Premiere Pro
VHS Overlays: Party Like It’s 1989
Got footage from a dance party? Add VHS MP4 overlays from the toolkit to enhance that late '80s, early '90s vibe. Combine these overlays with the RGB split effect from the Toolkit for an authentic, retro feel. For added flair, use VHS transitions between clips – these come with built-in sound effects, making your edits look and sound like classic VHS tapes. Another cool thing - say goodbye to lengthy rendering times. The new VHS overlays in MP4 format requires no rendering at all. It’s perfect for that nostalgic, retro vibe without the wait.
Advanced Dust and Scratches
Ready to give your footage that old-school charm? Start with the new advanced dust and scratches overlay. These new overlays are .mp4 files that automatically change to a screen blend mode so you don’t have to render anything! Want to make your video look like it’s straight out of a bygone era? The advanced dust and scratches effects are here to help. These effects, available in both MP4 and native formats, provide that authentic old-timey feel, perfect for projects requiring a vintage touch. We recommend you add a retro color grade from the Gal Toolkit, and watch your modern clips transform into vintage masterpieces.
35 New Message Sound Effects
By popular demand, we've added sound effects that cater especially to iPhone users. Whether it’s messaging notifications or typing sounds, these additions will make your edits pop. The "iPhone sounds" category includes notifications, iMessage sounds, and various typing speeds, ensuring your audio matches the high quality of your visuals.
Thought Bubbles: Animate Your Ideas
Ever wanted to show what your characters are thinking? Now you can, with the new thought bubbles feature. Requested by users, this tool allows you to animate thought bubbles with customizable text, fonts, colors, and positions. Simply double click or drag-and-drop to apply and then use the Essential Graphcs panel to customize further. Add bubble pops from our sound effects library to make your animations more engaging. These features are perfect for humorous or narrative-driven projects, adding a fun and interactive element to your videos. Tip: We recommend pairing the thought bubbles with Speed FX backgrounds and Cartoon Transitions within the Toolkit to achieve a comic-fun style.
