Cập nhật gần đây nhất vào 9 thg 11, 2026

Learn how to transform video clips, adjust speed, modify effects, manage masks, and make color adjustments using the Properties panel in Adobe Premiere.

The Properties panel provides context-sensitive editing controls based on your selection in the timeline. You can adjust clip properties, customize video and audio effects, and work with masks from a single panel.

Adjust video properties

Select one or more video clips in the timeline.

Open the Properties panel and select the Video tab.

Use the available controls to adjust the clip:

  • Transform: Select either Fill frame or Fit to frame to automatically adjust the size of the video. 
    • Fill frame scales the content to completely fill the frame, which can lead to cropping parts of the image if its aspect ratio differs from that of the frame. 
    • Fit to frame, on the other hand, means adjusting the content so that it completely fits within the frame while maintaining its original aspect ratio; if the aspect ratios don't match, this may result in letterboxing (black bars).
  • Crop: Adjust the percentages to crop pixels from the top, bottom, left, and right edges of your video.
  • Color Mode Effect: Adjust the color and appearance of your video.
    • Luminance: Adjust Contrast, Pivot, Exposure, and Black levels to control brightness and tonal range.
    • Chroma: Adjust Temperature, Tint, and Saturation to refine the colors.
    • Detail: Adjust Texture and Sharpness to enhance fine details.
  • Adjust speed: It opens the Clip speed/duration option to help you quickly speed up or slow down your video.

Modify video and audio effects

Use the Effects tab in the Properties panel to view and modify effects applied to your clips.

Select a video clip in the timeline.

In the Properties panel, select the Effects tab.

Expand Video effects or Audio effects to view the effects associated with the selected clip.

To adjust Video effects, expand an effect card to modify its parameters:

  • Use Opacity to adjust the clip's transparency using the slider or enter a percentage. 
    • Use Blend Mode to control how the clip blends with underlying clips.
  • Select Motion to adjust Position, Scale, Rotation, and Anchor Point. Use Uniform Scale to maintain the clip's proportions, Anti-flicker Filter to reduce flickering, and Crop Left, Crop Top, Crop Right, and Crop Bottom to crop individual edges.
The Properties panel with the Effects tab open, displaying Opacity and Motion controls for adjusting transparency, position, scale, rotation, and cropping.
Customize video effects by adjusting opacity, motion, scale, rotation, and cropping in the Properties panel.

To adjust Audio effects, expand an effect card to modify its parameters:

  • Volume: Select Mute to silence the audio, or adjust Level to increase or decrease the volume.
  • Channel Volume: Select Bypass to bypass channel volume adjustments, or adjust the Left and Right channel levels independently.
  • Panner: Adjust Balance to control the distribution of audio between the left and right channels.
The Properties panel with the Effects tab open and Audio effects selected, displaying Volume, Channel Volume, and Panner controls.

To animate an effect property, select the Keyframe   icon next to the Opacity slider and adjust its value at different points in the clip.

You can also enable or disable effects, reset their settings, and drag effect cards to change their processing order.

Manage masks

You can view, assign, and modify masks directly in the Properties panel.

Select a clip with an existing mask.

In the Properties panel, select Effects and then Video effects.

Expand a mask card, such as Object Mask, to adjust its properties:

  • Tracker: Use the tracking controls to track the masked object forward or backward through the clip.
  • Sharpness: Expand the section to adjust the mask's edge sharpness.
  • Feather: Adjust the softness of the mask edges.
  • Opacity: Adjust the transparency of the mask.
  • Expansion: Expand or contract the mask boundary.
  • Blend Mode: Choose how the mask combines with other masks.
  • Inverted: Reverse the masked and unmasked areas.
The Program Monitor displays a person highlighted by an object mask, while the Properties panel shows an unassigned Object Mask with tracking, sharpness, feather, opacity, and expansion controls.
Manage object masks, adjust their properties, and assign them to effects in the Properties panel.

To apply the mask to an effect, use one of the following options:

  • Assign to Opacity: Select the checkerboard   icon to apply the mask to the clip's opacity.
  • Assign to Blur: Select the droplet   icon to apply a blur effect using the mask.
  • Assign to Effect: Select to associate the mask with an existing effect, or drag the mask card onto the desired effect.

Once assigned, the mask appears nested within the corresponding effect card, where you can continue adjusting its properties.
