Obsolete effects

Many of Premiere's video effects have been replaced by After Effects video effects. One Premiere 5.x audio effect is also obsolete. If you are working on a Premiere 5.x or earlier project that uses an obsolete (replaced) effect, you can continue to use it in Premiere 6.0 (settings you used for the obsolete effects remain intact). However, if you are creating a new Premiere 6.0 project, use the newer effects because the obsolete ones are intended only for Premiere 5.x project compatibility. All obsolete video effects reside in the Obsolete folder of the Video Effects palette. The obsolete audio effect resides in the Obsolete folder of the Audio Effects palette.

To access Obsolete effects:

1 Choose Window > Show Video Effects or Window > Show Audio Effects.

2 If the Obsolete folder is not visible in the list, choose Show Hidden from the Video Effects or Audio Effects palette menu.

3 Expand the Obsolete folder to see the effects.
