In the assistant editors’ never-ending quest to make my job harder, they’ve started using Transform effects to create social media versions (9x16, 1x1, etc).
But these effects don’t come through in an XML, which means I’m back to matching everything by eye.
So instead of doing that, I learned enough UXP to create a Premiere plugin. It has two functions:
If the Transform effect is on the clip itself, it will concatenate and replace the keyframes of the Motion effect.
If the Transform effect is on an Adjustment layer above the clip (like a gap effect), it will take a Transform effect from V2 and concatenate it with a Motion effect on V1.
Let me know if anyone finds this useful, or if there are any other workflow improvements to be made from Premiere.
