List of effects and transitions

Last updated on Nov 10, 2026

Learn more about effects and transitions that were updated, moved, deprecated, or removed in Adobe Premiere.

The tables include video effects and transitions that were updated, renamed, or classified as Legacy or Obsolete,or Permanently Removed. Use the following tables to understand how individual effects and transitions have changed, where they are located in the Effects panel, and how they behave in existing and new projects.

Note

The following tables indicate whether the effects were part of Film Impact and their names prior to the change. The Name of categories and effects column lists the new names, the Effect from Film Impact column indicates whether the effect was part of Film Impact, and the Old name column displays the name used before the change in Premiere version 26.0.

Legacy

Some older effects and transitions are now classified as Legacy when modern replacement versions are available, or if the effects or transitions no longer meet modern GPU performance standards (For example, CPU-only rendering). They are still visible in the Effects panel in the Legacy folder and can still be applied to project media. Each legacy effect and transition starting in 27.0 will be displayed with (Legacy) appended to the name.

Renamed

Some effects and transitions are renamed to better describe their intended use as well as to align with the updated categories in Premiere. The new name will be displayed in the Effects panel and will be displayed in new and existing projects and will continue to render the same as before, with no changes to the functionality of the effect or transition.
