How to make an image slide across the screen in Premiere Pro?

Published in Video Editing 2 mins read

While the provided reference is brief, here's a general method to make an image slide across the screen in Adobe Premiere Pro, expanding on what might be alluded to in the snippet:

  1. Import your image into Premiere Pro. Drag the image from your Project panel onto your timeline.

  2. Select the image clip in the timeline.

  3. Open the Effect Controls panel. Go to Window > Effect Controls.

  4. Adjust Position using Keyframes:

    • In the Effect Controls panel, under the "Motion" section, find the "Position" parameter.
    • Click the stopwatch icon next to "Position" to enable keyframing. This creates your starting position keyframe at the current time indicator.
    • Move the current time indicator forward in the timeline to where you want the slide to end.
    • Adjust the "Position" values (the two numbers representing horizontal and vertical position) until the image is at its desired final position. Premiere Pro automatically creates a second keyframe.
  5. Adjust temporal interpolation for smoother movement (optional):

    • Right-click on one of the position keyframes in the Effect Controls panel.
    • Hover over "Temporal Interpolation."
    • Choose an option like "Ease In" or "Ease Out" for smoother starts and stops. "Ease In" makes the slide start slowly and speed up. "Ease Out" makes it start fast and slow down. You can also choose "Bezier" for even more control over the acceleration curve.

That will create a basic slide effect.
