ANIMATED GIFS IN PREMIERE PRO
Add GIFs to your videos without leaving Premiere Pro
The GIF importer is part of Spotlight FX. Search, preview and import a GIF, then use the editing controls to make it work with your footage. Demos below show Premiere Pro; the GIF importer also works in After Effects.
Search GIFs
A searchable database of animated GIFs
Search for a character, a mood or a phrase, and preview the results in Spotlight FX. Browse reaction categories when you know the feeling but not the GIF.
- GIF search powered by KLIPY
- Browse by reaction
Import GIFs
Easily Add GIFs in Premiere Pro
Choose a GIF and click Import. Spotlight FX downloads it and adds it at your playhead, so you can see it with your footage without saving files from a browser first.
- Import at the playhead
- Keep editing in Adobe
Crop GIFs
Crop your GIFs
Drag the crop handles in the preview to remove unwanted parts of a GIF. Keep just the face, reaction or detail you want to use in your video.
- Visual crop controls
- Reset the crop when you need to
Resize GIFs
Resize GIFs to fit your video
Use a GIF as a full-screen cutaway in a YouTube video, or keep it small over a podcast clip. Fit, Fill and Zoom let you change its size from the same set of controls.
- Fit and Fill buttons
- Adjust the size with Zoom
Position GIFs
Position GIFs anywhere in the frame
Keep a reaction beside the speaker instead of covering their face. Choose a corner, an edge or the center with the alignment controls, then check the placement against your footage.
- Nine alignment positions
- Useful for reaction overlays
Loop GIFs
Loop GIFs to match your edit
Change the loop count to control how long a GIF plays. Repeat it across a gaming highlight, or use a single loop for a quick reaction in a short social video.
- Adjust the loop count
- See the resulting length
We are creating many shorts for social media, and even as a beginner in premiere pro, I was able to create good looking videos.
We are a studio of 20 people, and this has completely changed our workflow.
I only discovered extensions yesterday. I can't believe it. All this time I have been designing animations manually.
Perfect! Absolutely astounding support. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your help and congratulations on the amazing work you are doing. Your tools are truly valuable and inspiring for beginner creators like me.
I love the assets, great stuff on that. they aren't too gimmicky like the others in other packs and plugins.
This plugin is absolutely best.
GIF animation
Animate your GIFs
Choose Scale, Fade or Fade + Scale to animate your GIF in and out. Adjust the duration and easing, or use separate In and Out settings for more control.
