How to Install Presets in Premiere Pro

One of the easiest ways to install new presets in Adobe Premiere Pro is by using the import option through the effects panel. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough with pictures showing you how to import new presets once you have downloaded them and extracted the presets if they are in a ZIP file. 

Step One

Launch Adobe Premiere Pro and navigate to the "Effects" panel.

• Hint: If you don't see this panel, make sure it is selected in the "Window" tab.

NOTE: Your Effects panel won't be located exactly in this area of the interface. We use a custom workspace layout.

Step Two

Click on the panel options icon in the upper right corner of the effects panel, then click the "Import Presets" option. This will open a file explorer window.

This screenshot shows the panel options icon and menu.

Step Three

Navigate to the location where the Premiere Pro preset file was saved and/or extracted to. Then select and open the preset file.

And that's it! Once you've done this process correctly, the new preset will be imported into Premiere Pro. You'll be able to find it in the "Presets" bin under the "Effects" panel. It will be saved there, so you'll be able to find it each time you open Premiere in the future too.

Please note that if Premiere crashes during the same session you imported new presets in, you may have to import them again. That's why it is a good idea to go ahead and restart Premiere Pro right after you finish importing all of your presets.

We hope this walkthrough has been helpful for you. Now why don't you go download some of our free Premiere Pro presets and try it out for yourself!
