Every preset is a real camera move written as keyframes on the clip's own Scale, Position and Opacity, or on an adjustment layer above it if you prefer. There are 321 in eleven families, most in three easings, plus 54 Playhead versions that start where the playhead is. Pick where a zoom grows from, how strong and how fast the move is, star the ones you keep coming back to, and search when the tree is too much. This is Basic motion; Clip presets also holds Advanced motion, for chains of moves, and AI, where Auto-pilot puts moves on a whole edit.
102 moves on real footage.
Hover a card and the frame moves with that preset's own keyframes, the same preview the panel shows. Continuous presets drift for a few seconds.
What Clip presets gives you.
Preview before you click
Hover any card and it plays on a sample picture, with your Strength, Speed and Anchor. Click, and the same move is on your selected clips, fitted to the clip and the sequence.
Start, End, or both
Most families have Start, End and Start & End folders: a move in, a move out, or one at each end. A new Start move keeps the clip's End move, and the other way round.
Playhead presets
A Playhead folder in six families starts the move where the playhead is. One clip can take many, each carrying on from where the last one stopped.
Anchor point
Zoom from any point on the frame, not just the centre. Click or drag in a box the shape of your clip, snap to edges, corners and the centre, or type exact X and Y.
Strength and speed
Turn a subtle zoom into a punch, or slow a move down, without touching a keyframe. At 100 % a zoom goes from 100 to 110 % Scale in half a second.
Favourites and search
Star the presets you use and they gather under Favourites. Search finds a preset by any part of its name, in every family at once.
Eleven kinds of move.
Each family is a folder in the tree, with Playhead, Start, End and Start & End inside it where that makes sense. Most moves come as Ease Out, Ease In and Ease In Out; overshoots as Soft, Medium or Strong; pulses and dips as Smooth, Snappy or Sharp.
Zoom
The basic push in and pull out. Start, End, and four Start & End pairs: In then In, In then Out, Out then In, Out then Out.
Continuous Zoom
A slow drift in or out across the whole clip, Linear or Bezier. Keeps a talking head or a still photo alive, even between a Start and an End move.
Overshoot Zoom
A zoom that goes a little past its size and settles back. Feels like a handheld push.
Zoom Pulse
A quick punch in and back out. For a beat, a word, a reveal.
Pan
Left, right, up or down, at the start, the end, or both.
Pan & Zoom
Four directions, each with a zoom in or out, at the start, the end or both: twenty-four moves that travel and push at once.
Continuous Pan
A slow slide across the whole clip in any of four directions.
Opacity
Fade in, fade out, both, or a quick dip and back. Plain keyframes on Opacity, nothing else.
Zoom & Fade
A zoom with a fade on top, for openings and endings.
Pan & Fade
A slide with a fade, in any direction.
Pan, Zoom & Fade
All three together, twenty-four ways.
The playhead, a layer, or one long clip.
Playhead presets
The Start moves again, in Zoom, Overshoot Zoom, Zoom Pulse, Pan, Pan & Zoom and Opacity (Dip). A move dropped inside an earlier one takes its place; one that would not fit is refused. They go on the clip itself or As one clip, not with On an adjustment layer ticked.
Tracks
With no clip selected, a Playhead preset goes on the clips under the playhead on the tracks you tick, a title or caption too. None ticked: the top footage clip.
On an adjustment layer
Each click puts an adjustment layer over each selected clip and moves it instead. The clip stays untouched, and titles and captions above it stay still.
As one clip
The selected clips, or all of V1, act as one long clip, like a nest: one adjustment layer over them carries the move across the cuts. Start presets go at its start, End presets at its end, Playhead presets at the playhead, and a Continuous one drifts between the other moves.
A selected adjustment layer
Select an adjustment layer and click a preset: the move goes into its Transform effect and moves everything under it, ticked or not.
One Undo for the sequence
Moves on adjustment layers and As one clip come off with the Undo in the status line, which puts the whole sequence back in one go.
What a click actually does.
Reads the clip first
Glide reads the clip's size, shape, speed and current Scale, Position and Anchor, and fits the move to them. When a pan needs it, the Scale goes up just enough that no black edges show.
Writes plain keyframes
The move lands on the clip's built-in Motion and Opacity, or on an adjustment layer's Transform effect. Nothing needs Glide to play back.
Smoothness
Five levels, from Smoothest (most keyframes) to Lightest (fewest), shared with Advanced motion and the Curve Editor. For presets only Light and Lightest change anything: fewer keyframes, a lighter project.
Remove Motion
Takes the Scale, Position, Rotation, Anchor Point and Opacity animation off the selected clips, hand-made keyframes too, and puts the resting values back.
Undo and Redo
Glide's own 30 steps, separate from Premiere's. If you changed the same value in Effect Controls since, it asks: keep your changes, undo everything, or cancel.
Commands · Ctrl+K
Type the name of any preset or action and press Enter. Faster than the tree once you know the names.
Three steps.
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.
Questions about Clip presets.
Are they real keyframes?
Yes. Ordinary Premiere keyframes on the clip's Motion and Opacity, or on an adjustment layer's Transform effect. Open Effect Controls and move, copy or delete them like any other.
Can I change my mind after applying?
Use Glide's Undo, or Remove Motion and pick another preset. A new Start preset also replaces the clip's old Start move by itself.
Does it work on vertical or square sequences?
Yes. Landscape, 9:16, square and 4:5, and clips that are a different shape than the sequence. The Anchor box takes the shape of your clip, and pans are scaled so no black edges show.
Can I put several moves on one clip?
Yes. A Start preset and an End preset sit at their own ends of the clip, with a Continuous drift between them if you like. Playhead presets add as many moves as fit, on a clip with no drift or chain on it. For a chain with holds, use Advanced motion.
How many presets are there?
321 in eleven families, counting each easing and every Start & End pair, plus 54 Playhead versions of the Start moves. The gallery below plays the single moves they are built from.
