Alpha Crop
Crop effect is applied to PNG/GIF/WebP files by the size of the alpha channel.
For PSD/TIFF files, you need to launch Photoshop. In the case of PSD and TIFF files, the process is passed to Photoshop once. This may take a little longer to process and may not open properly in Photoshop, so PNG is recommended.
If the same PSD or TIFF file as the clip to which Alpha Crop is applied is opened in Photoshop, the crop effect will be applied in its current state. Use this method if you are importing PSDs as separate layers in Premiere.
This allows you to snap within the area or move anchor points within a clip regardless of the size of the clip. Snap is possible even if the crop effect is turned off (fx mark is turned off) in the Effects Control Panel.
Right side panel
Even when multiple clips are selected on the timeline, operations such as moving the position, scaling, and adding key frames are performed at the same time.
Select an item from the pull-down menu
- Position
- Scale
- Rotation
- Anchor
- Opacity
- Center
Amount of change of the direction buttons
⌘(Ctrl) + direction button
0.1
shift + direction button
10
shift + ⌘(Ctrl) + direction button
50 (45 degrees for Rotation.)
Continuous change by pressing and holding the button.
Smart Scaling
Scale operations can be scaled while maintaining the ratio, even if the scale between clips is different or the vertical / horizontal scale is different.
option(Alt) + direction buttons to scale vertically or horizontally only.
All Keyframe Control
When “All Keyframe” is checked, the same amount of value is applied to the keyframes of the item selected in the pull-down menu. Even after animation is applied, you can move the position and anchor point.
All Keyframe Control is also applied when operating the placement panel on the left. Allows snapping of clips with motion within an area and placement of the center point at each point. (New!!!)
AddKey
Add a keyframe for the item selected in the pull-down menu. Keyframes can be added simultaneously even when multiple selections are made.
Click again to delete the keyframe. (New!!!)

⌘ + Reset: Reset horizontally only
option + Reset: Reset vertically only
When you select Scale
⌘ + Reset: Set to same value as for vertically
option + Reset: Set to same value as horizontally
The panel can be arranged vertically.

Ver.2 New feature "InputBox".
The function to specify a numerical value for the item selected in the pull-down menu has been added, as is common in After Effects, but you can also increase or decrease the current value by adding "+", "-", "*", or "/" before or after the numerical value. Enter a numerical value in the "InputBox" and press the Enter key to confirm.

Enter key changes the horizontal value.
Option(Alt)+Enter key changes the vertical value.
When using Scale, press
The Enter key is used to zoom in/out while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Pressing the Shift key at the same time reverses the direction.
Ver.2 New feature "MARIONETTE ShortcutKey".
Panel shortcut key-like functions (valid only when an extension panel is selected).
For example.
Snap to each point in the area with the "1-9" keys.
Select the "Position" item by pressing the "P" key and the "Scale" item by pressing the "S" key.
Press "Shift+P" to add or remove a position keyframe.
"Shift+S" key adds or deletes a scale keyframe. And so on.
Play/Stop by "Space" key after selecting a panel, which was not possible in Ver. 1.
The "←" and "→" keys can be used to move one frame at a time (+Shift for 10 frames, etc.).
Please download this PDF file for a list of shortcut keys and functions.
Other corrections and changes
- Fixed a problem in which the value of the crop effect was set to "nan" when Alpha Crop was performed on a PSD or TIFF, if the unit in Photoshop Preferences was not pixels.
- Fixed a problem in which snapping and center point movement did not work properly when the pixel aspect ratio was not 1:1 in clips (and sequence settings).
- Fixed a problem in which Alpha Crop could not be performed if the file name or folder name of the selected clip contained the character "#".
- Changed the color of operation buttons for All Keyframe, Group, etc.
- Supported Alpha Crop for WebP format clips.

MARIONETTE Pro allows you to control motion effects when multiple selections are made. So what can you do with it? It's going to be a Premiere experience like never before.
And MARIONETTE Pro will continue to evolve.
