Top 15 Adobe Premiere Plugins for Effects and Transitions

Although Premiere is a complete and robust platform, there is always room for customization, extras and just plain cool add-ons that are too niche for Adobe to produce themselves.

For example, you can add free Adobe Premiere title templates to make yor video excellent.

Whilst everyone's list will be different depending on what they use Premiere for, here is my choice of tools and effects that I find the most useful.

Top 10 Adobe Premiere Pro Plugins for Transitions and Effects

1After Effects

Some may say this is cheating, but for me this is the number one add-on for Premiere. There is a reason for this, and that is that After Effects enables you to create anything you can dream of wanting within the Premiere environment. 

Graphics, transitions, titles and templates, composites and a myriad of other options can be created and imported directly into Premiere, as part of the same suite they integrate perfectly and enable smooth transitions between a Premiere project, creating an effect or graphic in After Effects, and implementing it within the Premiere Project. 

There are other plugins that appear in this list that are extremely capable for a specific scenario, but there are none with the breadth of ability that After Effects brings to the table. 

It is the best Adobe Premiere plugins to download.

Price: $20.99/month

Features

• Steep learning: we have to admit that it is not easy to make Adobe Premiere plugins with Effects, but if you have learned how-to, you are the master.
• Animation: If you like animaiton style video, you can use it to make Adobe Premiere animation plugins.

2Neat Video

Neat Video is a great plugin for Premiere, unlike After Effects it has a single function, and that is noise reduction. It is very good at it.

Whilst Camera technology has advanced at a remarkable rate, there are still circumstances when even the best cameras available to us produce video that is a little too noisy for its intended use, and this is where Neat Video steps in. 

It works as a video filter from within the Premiere environment and can be applied to a sequence in its entirety of any number of individual clips within the sequence as desired.

Although aimed at noise reduction for modern digital cameras, Neat Video is also very useful in the digitization process of older VHS or film stock, and can be used to clean up the resulting digital file.

Price: $74.9/month

Features

• Underwater shots: You can make underwater shots with this plug-in. With it, you can make your video more beautiful.
• Accurate and efficient: As the best Adobe Premiere plugin, it can offer you an accurate effect.

3Final Effects

A utility box of effects and transitions if ever there was one, Final Effects integrates smoothly with Premiere and includes over 120 different items, if you want to broaden your effects library but do not have any specific requirements, then this is the product for you. I particularly like the 3D relief effect, but there is something in here for every type of project you can think of.

Price: $2495 for all bundles

Features

• Stylized looks: it offers various filters to use
• Auto-animating transitions: you can make animation style transitions auto.

4Magic Bullet Looks

This is a wondrous plugin that is primarily a color finishing tool, but includes a raft of options that make it much more useful. The color finishing is first class, it comes with over 100 included presets organized by category so you can quickly find the right one for your project, plus the ability to fine tune and save the results as custom presets meaning the possibilities are endless to obtain the right unified look you wish for your project. 

In addition options for lens distortion and lighting enable either corrections or stylized looks to be implemented to compliment the color choices made.

Price: $899

Features

• Great compatibility: it works well on win and mac.
• Price: the price may be higher than we thought.

5Flicker Free

This one is quite a specific plugin that won't be for everyone, but if you are a regular proponent of time lapse or slow motion footage, this is a plugin that will be your best friend for life. One of the issues with time lapse is the changing exposures during such filming that produce a flickering effect when viewed. 

What flicker free does is to normalize the exposure and remove the flicker. It not only works on time lapse, but can solve similar issues with slow motion filming, and even assist with the rolling effect you can get from LED lighting and computer monitors. 

It works from within Premiere and comes with useful presets to make the process as simple as possible, although they can all be individually tweaked where necessary to get the perfect results.

Price: $79/$99...

Features

• Fluent workflow: the working experience is great if you try it.
• Time lapse: You can make time lapse or slow motion video better by specific Premiere plugin.

6Damage

Another great plugin that is very specific in its use, Damage is, despite the name, a nondestructive filter plugin that simulates the grain, glitches, scan lines and grit of aged film stock. There are over 80 presets available to use as is or the base point for your own experimentation, and whilst its use is not going to be hugely widespread, for producing that aged effect there is nothing better.
