Hmmm…that makes sense indeed; would you know where I can see those keyframes in the timeline for that specific effect, [Fly to Inset]? I only know how to find keyframes that I added myself for Position or Scale for example.

Would’ve been impossible for me to re-produce that problem in a sample project, so I just avoided the import to After Effects altogether, and instead, produced the text effects in After Effects then clicked and dragged to Premiere, and color corrected in Premiere. Thank you very much for your help again, Nikolya.

Thank you for responding, Chris.

That’s part of my problem: that effect does not create keyframes for me, and I had no need for them. I actually don’t know if you can add some sort of “general” keyframes, rather than the requirement of a keyframe to a specific property (like Position or Scale) that you want to change.

However, after posting my question, I realized that the effect does have an option for easily making it quicker, this effect just was not initially clear to me; the option is “Transition Completion” right under the “Fly to Inset” property in the Effect Controls tab. If I simply choose an earlier key frame, and choose 100% completion at that earlier frame, then the animation becomes faster.

Thank you very much for the tip about nested Premiere sequences; while it worked to eliminate the endless layers and ‘2D stairway’ look, unfortunately the video itself is not showing when I open the parent Composition that represents the parent sequence. Instead, I see the famous ‘no signal’ colored bars of a TV. Would you be able to guess why this happened?

Hi Nikolya,

Thank you for responding.

No, so far I never felt that I needed to nest sequences in Premiere. Does that step entail any caveats or catches?

Thank you for the tutorial link; I’ll be sure to watch it.

I took another look and experimented with the Premiere effects you mentioned and others; I was pleasantly surprised to find that [Color Balance] stacked on [Levels], regardless to which one is sequentially applied first, were indeed awesome and almost enough together. My main problem previously with Premiere’s [Levels] effect was that the handy channels graph is hidden in a small ‘Setup’ button that I just found! It is still significantly less responsive and friendly than After Effects’s [Levels], but the discovery is definitely worth it, so I thank you for encouraging me to take another look at Premiere’s color enhancing features. A touch of [Three-Way Color Corrector] was also appreciated. Now a Photo Filter effect in Premiere and I’d be a delighted clam!
