What it does
Titles
Typewriter, Pop In, Slide Up Reveal, Word by Word, Blur In and Glitch. Your words, colour and size, at the playhead above your clips.
Layout
Side by side, over and under, picture in picture: two clips arranged in one click.
Censor
A blur box or a pixel box over a face, a plate or a screen. The box stays where you put it.
Clips and graphics
Fade in and out, a Ken Burns push-in, and a progress bar along your video.
Tools
Smoothie eases your keyframes, Pivot Pin moves the anchor without a jump, Copycat copies a move to other clips, On the beat puts a move on each Beat Imp hit.
Edit in place
Select a placed transition and change its duration, amount, motion blur and where it sits on the cut.
By hand, or with Motion Imp
By hand in Premiere
- Add an adjustment layer and put it over the cut.
- Trim it to a few frames each side.
- Add Transform, keyframe the position and the blur.
- Name it so you can find it later.
With Motion Imp
- Put the playhead on the cut.
- Click Add.
Why Motion Imp
- Finds the cut. Preset packs leave placing, trimming and naming the adjustment layer to you.
- Directions. Whip Pan, Push, Roll and Stretch go any way you pick. Premiere's built-in Whip goes one way.
- No handles needed for layer transitions. Premiere's own transitions repeat frames when the clip has none.
- On the beat. Put a move on every hit Beat Imp marked. None of the preset tools we compared does this.
- Premiere's own effects. Built from native effects and keyframes, with no account beyond your Tiny Imps subscription.
Requirements
- Windows 10 (1809 or later) or Windows 11
- Premiere Pro 26 (tested on 26.5.2)
- The Tiny Imps app
- Premiere Pro in English
Good to know
- Step by step: guide.
- One cut per click.
- Push needs spare frames on both sides of the cut.
- The censor box doesn't follow movement.
- The progress bar is a rendered clip, not live text, and needs the Tiny Imps app.
- Ctrl+Z doesn't take back a title's words; delete the title instead.
- Each title adds about 1 GB to Premiere's memory.
- Speed-changed clips aren't supported yet.
