Introducing the new Motion Array Library Extension for Premiere Pro

The easiest way to find and use transitions

Transitions are one of the most powerful editing essentials in a video editor’s toolkit. And according to Motion Array research, a whopping 70% of video creators use transitions in every project. No surprise there, as transitions add energy, style, and personality to every cut.

But here’s the thing — using transitions should be easy to add to your video projects.

That’s why we built the Motion Array Library Extension for Premiere Pro. It’s the fastest, simplest, most efficient way to browse, preview, and drag-and-drop transitions directly into your timeline — without ever leaving Premiere Pro.

Transitions direct to your timeline in three easy steps 

Downloading transition packs and importing them manually got the job done, but the process of adding them to your edit took time. 

We knew there had to be a better way. So we built the Motion Array Library Extension for transitions. You can find the extension in Motion Array Presets, or with a few easy steps, you can add transitions to your timeline in Premiere Pro: 

1. Log in to your Motion Array account and download the Motion Array Hub.

1. Restart or open Premiere Pro. Go to Extensions and find Motion Array Library to explore all the transitions. 
2. Search, preview, and drag-and-drop transitions straight into your timeline. 

It’s that simple — no unzipping files or extra steps needed. Just drag, drop, done.

We’ve loaded the Motion Array Library Extension with over 1000 high-quality, professionally designed transitions — all fully integrated with Premiere Pro. This curated collection of transitions ensures there is something for every video creator, whatever your project needs. 

You can view all the transition options first for maximum flexibility, and then add them to your workflow faster than ever before.

Our top 10 favorite transitions (and where to use them)

To celebrate this launch, we asked the Motion Array team to share their all-time favorite types of transitions. and when to use them like a pro. You can search for them in the Motion Array Hub and drag and drop them directly into Premiere Pro now. 

1. Extreme transitions 

Use: When you want to add intense energy, simulate whip pans, or push momentum forward between scenes.

Examples:

• Switching scenes in a high-energy sports montage.
• Moving from one character to another in an action scene.
• Transitioning between locations in a fast-paced vlog or travel video.

2. Shake transitions 

Use when: You want to add tension, urgency, or a raw handheld feel.

Examples:

• Intensifying fight scenes, chase sequences, or breakdown moments.
• Making story transitions feel disoriented or chaotic (e.g., dream sequences, flashbacks).
• Cutting between emotionally unstable moments in a drama or thriller edit.

3. Film burn overlay transitions 

Use when: You want warmth, nostalgia, or a romantic, vintage vibe.

Examples:

• Highlighting memories, flashbacks, or slow montages (e.g., weddings, summer days).
• Transitions between home-video-style clips or analog-styled content.
• Mood-setting in indie films or music videos with soft lighting and close-ups.

4. Seamless zoom transitions 

Use when: You want to create fluid, dynamic scene connections without hard cuts.

Examples:

• Zooming into a subject and coming out on another scene to imply continuity.
• Explaining a concept or timeline in an infographic-style video.
• Linking shots across time or location (great for travel, real estate, tech).

5. Directional transitions 

Use when: You need clean, intentional scene changes based on motion (left, right, up, down).

• Examples:
• Moving through a visual story (left to right for timeline or progress).
• Sliding between products or features in a showcase video.
• Stylized cuts in dance videos, reels, or punchy commercial edits.

Use when: You want soft, dreamy scene changes with a warm glow

Examples:

Examples:

• Trailers, promos, or dramatic intros/outros.
• Scene shifts in a narrative that feel like part of a film rather than just a cut.
• Elevating a documentary or branded content piece with storytelling flow.
