Premiere Pro templates and presets are a series of preprogrammed, customizable settings that can be applied to any video clip in a project.
Premiere Pro presets can save you time while editing, help you produce high-quality videos, give your videos a creating flair, and give your work a professional look.
How do Premiere Pro Presets Work?
The beauty of Premiere Pro presets is how simple they make editing! They allow you, the user, to apply effects and other detailed settings with just one click of a mouse.
Simply select the preset that you want to use, and drag them on top of your video clip that you wish to apply the preset to.

All presets can be found in the Object library under the heading titled "Preset.” It is possible to organize folders in a single session, and re-name the preset easily.

How to create your own Premiere Pro Presets
To create your own Preset Template Project, complete the following:
Step 1: Create Your Desired Effect
The first step is to play with the settings and preset properties of your own video clips until you have the desired video effects
Step 2: Creating Your Preset
The next step is to save the preset.
Choose the desired effects. If you wish to add any more, hold down the Control or Command key while clicking them.
To select everything in the Effects Control panel, right-click and choose Select All.
Right-click on one of your selected effects, and select save preset.
Step 3: Adjust the Preset Settings
After you select save preset, the above window will open with the following options:
Name: Give your new preset a name.
Type:
- Scale will take effect and keep the relative time at which it happens. If the effect happens at 10%, for example, through the clip, the effect will automatically apply to the next clip you use it on at a 10% relative scale and be applied throughout the duration of the following clip.
- Anchor to In Point will take the distance away from the start of your clip and use that as a reference for all other clips in the future. This is useful for anything you want to see happen quickly or immediately after the start of a clip.
- Anchor to Out Point is the same as the anchor to in point, except apply it to the end of a video clip.
Description: Give yourself some notes that will help you understand what the effect does.
Once you have finished these steps, press the "OK" button, and you are done!
Step 4: Find Your Preset & Apply It
Your new custom effects presets can be found in the Effects panel
Now that you have created your custom-made premiere pro preset, apply it to any clips that you want.
