Motion

All features

The Motion tab is where you add ready-made animations or design custom animation. In Premiere you get the animation preset library to browse and apply, and the deeper builders stay in After Effects.

After Effects

MotionCaption in After Effects
  1. Animation presets: Browse, search, and apply saved animation presets, with categories for captions, highlight, your own custom set, and your user presets.

  2. User presets: Save the current animation settings as a named preset, then reuse it in any project. You can also add your own folders of .ffx presets and apply them from the same place.

  3. Animator: Animate any text property (position, scale, rotation, opacity, tracking, skew, fill, or blur) with per-character control, a configurable anchor point, and separate In and Out values.

  4. Transform: Motion in two ways. Controller mode builds complex animations without keyframes (ping-pong, pulse, bounce). Keys mode animates with keyframes.

  5. Typewriter: Reveal text by character, word, or line, with an optional animated cursor and pacing options.

  6. Wiggle: Add lively random motion, with control over speed and amount.

  7. Scroll (cascade): Cascading captions, horizontal or vertical, with adjustable gap and duration.

  8. Randomize: Controlled randomness across captions (per layer, line, caption, or all), with min and max ranges and optional per-character font and color variation.

  9. 3D: Turn captions into 3D extruded text with bevel styles, surfaces, per-face color, and HDR environment lighting.

Premiere

  1. Premiere gets the animation preset library, a categorized set (Captions, Highlight, and Custom) you search, apply, and pace with a speed control. The deeper builders (Animator, Transform, Typewriter, Wiggle, Scroll, Randomize, 3D) are After Effects only.
