Below, you’ll find a comprehensive list of free Premiere Pro presets perfect for a creative boost. But that’s not all, you’ll also find helpful steps to create and edit your own. Your new freebies will help improve your workflows and turn plain old video editing into a creator’s dream.
Summary
Part 1: Premiere Pro presets you can download for free
Premiere Pro presets (or effect presets as they’re also called) are a list of saved effects used by editors. There’s no need for you to spend hours perfecting an effect, as other editors have already done it for you. While some effect presets come pre-installed with Adobe Premiere Pro, using these default presets can get quite limited (and boring) over time.
To combat design burnout, Motion Array has compiled a list of free Premiere Pro text, transition, color, overlay, photo/video, and zoom preset packs that are incredibly easy to use. These packs will help you make superb videos every time — no matter what you’re editing or how creative you feel.

Part 2: How to make your own custom presets
If you need something specific for your video content, you can also create custom presets. Any keyframe clip can become a preset for you to save and use later for other projects. You won’t have to edit effects and set the keyframes manually all over again.
The following easy guide will show you how to create and save effect presets you make.
- Select the video clip with your effect settings applied within Premiere Pro, such as ease in, ease out, corner pin, etc.
- In the Effects Control panel, select the effect you wish to turn into a preset. Then right-click.
- From the list of dropdown options, choose Save Preset. You can name it in the dialog box that will appear.
Choose from 3 preset types:
- Scale: This allows keyframes to scale proportionately to the video clip length. They’ll automatically scale to however long your clip is.
- Anchor To In Point: In contrast to scaling, this preset type is saved so that the first keyframe effect is added at the original distance from the clip’s In point.
- Anchor To Out Point: Instead of retaining a set distance from the clip’s In point, this type keeps keyframe effects relative to the clip’s Out point. Other effects are added in relation to this point with no scaling.
Once you’re done, click OK. You have made your own preset.
To make use of your shiny new preset:
- Open the Effects panel.
- Expand the Presets folder. You will see a drop-down list of your saved presets.
- Select and drag your desired preset onto the video timeline.
If you need to modify any preset you create, select the Effects panel and right-click on the preset you wish to edit. Then select Preset properties. The same dialog box that appeared when you first created the preset will show again, and you can make your desired changes. These could be its name, type, or even description.
What if you want to share your creative work with people in exchange for appreciation or money? You may even hope your preset will appear on one of Motion Array’s future lists! If you want to share your presets, here’s what to do:
- In the Effects panel, select the Presets folder and right-click on the desired preset.
- Select Export Presets. This will take you to your files folder on your computer, where you can save your presets for future access or sharing.
- In the options where you select Export presets, you can choose Import Presets instead. This is useful if you have a desired preset collection to retrieve and use in Premiere Pro.
Using these free Premiere Pro presets gives you a better and easier way to create captivating videos. Not only do you have all these new freebies to work with, but you now know the steps to create your own, too. It’s time to have fun enhancing your videos.
