Getting started
- Install. Close Premiere Pro, then run Glide-Setup.exe from your purchase email. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. Install details
- Open the panel. In Premiere Pro choose Window › Extensions › Motion Vision Glide. Dock it wherever you like.
- Activate. The first time, paste the licence code from your purchase email and press Activate. One code works on two of your computers.
- Select, then click. Select clips on your timeline, then click a preset or a button in Glide. Glide's own Undo in the top bar takes back its last change.
- Updating. Run the new Glide-Setup.exe the same way. Your licence and saved presets stay. What's new
The tabs
Clip presets › Basic motion
Clip presets
Camera moves in one click. Zooms, pans, punches, overshoots, pulses, continuous drifts and fades. Hover a card to preview it, click to put it on the clip: at its start, its end, or where the playhead is.
- Select a clip. Click any video clip on your timeline. Several clips get the same move each. For a Playhead preset, put the playhead where the move should start.
- Hover, then click a preset. The card previews the move. Click to apply it.
- Adjust, or don't. Strength, Speed, Anchor and Smoothness sit under Adjust. Remove Motion puts the clip back to rest.
Clip presets › Advanced motion
Advanced motion
Chain moves as nodes. A zoom in, a hold, a pan, a fade out. Build the move once on a canvas, watch each step's preview, and apply the whole chain to one clip or many.
- Add nodes. Press + and pick a preset for each step of the move.
- Tune each node. Gap, Strength, Speed and Anchor, with the preview and the time-left bar updating as you go.
- Apply Sequence. One click writes the whole chain onto every selected clip.
Clip presets › AI and Element presets › AI
Auto-pilot
The whole edit, in one pass. Pick the tracks, set the feel, press Auto-pilot. Your own ChatGPT or Claude picks the moments that matter, or Glide places the moves itself. You check a list, then Apply.
- Choose what to work on. Tick the tracks or use the selected clips, and pick which presets may be used.
- Set the feel. Spacing, speed, strength, clip sizes, drifts, on the beat. Or load a saved style.
- Run, check, Apply. Auto-pilot with your AI or without. Untick what you don't want and press Apply. One Undo puts it all back.
Element presets › Motions
Element presets
Things that arrive, and leave. Icons, logos, GIFs, b-roll boxes. They come in from nothing, sit exactly where you put them, and leave again. Hover a card to preview it, click to animate.
- Place the element. Drag it where it belongs in Premiere, or click a spot on the Place grid.
- Choose From, Ease and Length. Where it comes from, how it moves, how long it takes.
- Click a motion. In, Out, or In & Out. The element is animated and ends at home.
Beats
Beats
Motion that hits on the beat. Glide reads the music file itself and finds the beats, bars and big hits on the track you choose. Punch zooms and element motions then land right on them.
- Pick the music track. The one with the song. Voice stays on its own track.
- Find beats. Glide reads the file and shows the tempo, the beats and the big hits on a strip.
- Use them. Tick On the beat in Clip presets › AI or Element presets › AI, or Add markers and cut by hand.
Captions › Animated and Fast
Captions
Captions, made offline. Voice to words on your own computer, free, no account, no upload. Fix any word, translate if you need to, then pick Animated templates with every effect, or Fast captions that Premiere draws itself and renders about as quickly as plain titles.
- Get the words. Pick the voice track and press Transcribe, or load a captions file. Translate if you need to.
- Fix them. Correct any word in the list; the glossary keeps names right every time.
- Pick a look and add. Animated or Fast, a template and its settings, then Add. Each caption lands on its own clip, timed to the words.
Keyframes › Timeline
Timeline
Every keyframe, one view. The keyframes of up to 16 selected clips on one time axis: a row per property, a mark per keyframe, and the easing drawn between them. Drag, retime, re-ease, and it writes back.
- Select clips. In Premiere; up to 16 show at once. Each becomes a layer, with its properties as rows.
- Edit. Drag keyframes, click a stretch for its curve, use the keys, or right-click for a tool.
- It writes back. Every change becomes plain keyframes on the clip, one undo step each.
Keyframes › Curve Editor
Curve Editor
Reshape any move. Pick two keyframes on any property and bend the curve between them: Bezier handles, bounce, elastic, spring, steps, or draw it by hand. It sits beside the Timeline in the Keyframes tab.
- Two keyframes. Select a clip with two keyframes on a property. Click the stretch between them in the Timeline, or put the playhead there.
- Pick a curve. A preset shape, your own handles, one of your saved curves, or draw it.
- Apply. Live puts it on as you go. Otherwise press Apply Curve, or Apply to all properties.
