One of the reasons that I love Adobe Premiere is that there is such a deep community that uses the app. Because of that, there's no shortage of resources and free templates that you can use to get ahead while producing a video.
Templates and pre-built projects are a lifesaver when you're on a tight timeline. Open these projects up, add your own assets and text, and save hours versus designing from scratch.
Premium Premiere Pro Project Templates (Envato Elements)
Free templates are great—the ones on our list below make the grade for commercial production—but they don't cover every need. Affordable, high-quality templates for Adobe Premiere Pro are now available on our sister site, Envato Elements. Here are ten of our favorites:
Short Quotes — Typographic Video Project
Short
Quotes is an easy typographic video project that you can use in Adobe
Premiere for an impactful video. Update the placeholders with your
own text choices to create an easy typographic intro, for example.
Redacted Titles — Text Effect
Caution!
This redacted video effect is going to blackout your text just like a
secret document with key details withheld. Just use this in Premiere to
create your own redacted effect easily.
Analog Clock Creator — Animation
Time
keeps ticking, and this project is the perfect way to showcase it. Set
up your own countdown duration to animate a clock effect with this
project.
Paper: Animated Typeface — Text Animation
Well
animated text can serve as a video production of its own. Use this
motion typeface specifically for Adobe Premiere to animate your own
headlines smoothly.
Cooking Show Bumper — Culinary Video Template
There
is truly a project for every situation available, and this project
proves it. For the culinary YouTube channel, this project could be the
perfect choice to animate a flashy intro with culinary visuals.
Creative Process Flat Design Video — Project Template
You
don't have to use a separate animation app to create animations in
Adobe Premiere. Use a project like this with your own graphics and text
to animate a video in the flat style.
Flip Counter Creator — Countdown Animation Template
Here's
another easy-to-use project that you can use as a countdown effect.
This flipboard project allows you to add your own time horizon and watch
the project count down to completion.
Newsworthy Titles — Text Animations
The
clean and simple text animations in this project are ideal for adding
annotation to your video. Create your own news channel on a shoestring
budget with a project like this.
Motion Elements Pack — Animated Shapes
I
love this package because it can be used in so many different types of
videos. The shape animations and transition effects are easy to drop
into any project and add a flair to your existing video project.
Top Templates From Envato Market (Pay-As-You-Go)
Popcorn Broadcast Package — Channel Motion Graphics
This
package has all the essentials a video producer needs to create the
visual identity—the look—for TV show or YouTube channel. The assets in
this package focus on building a true broadcast with credits, pre-rolls,
and overlay styles that certainly match the quality of anything you see
on TV.
Epic Demo Reel — Template
A
demo reel is a perfect teaser for a main production. You can use it to
show your best footage in one concise package. That type of video can
help you win more work with clients, so use a great template like this
to produce one quickly.
Seamless Transitions — Template
Some
transitions are simple, like fades and cross-dissolves. But this
package of effects takes a completely different approach. These
transitions take the center stage as if they are the production itself.
It's a great way to create an engaging video with just photos.
15 Free Premiere Templates and Presets
OK, let's take a look at 15 totally free projects, from around the internet, that you can use with Adobe Premiere to make great videos.
1. Jarle’s Deadpool Handheld Camera Presets
One of the defining visual features of 2016's Deadpool was the slight camera shake that was prevalent in many scenes as if the camera was handheld. Replicate that effect with this easy preset for Premiere.
2. Andy's Gradient Filter
Available as a part of the free FxFactory download, Andy's Gradient Filter allows you to apply neutral density style filters to your video footage. Gradient filters allow you to apply adjustments with a faded effect, applying the effect to only part of the frame.
3. Closing Credits to a 360° Movie
This project works perfectly with the Mettle SkyBox 360° tool that is used for interactive videos. Thanks to YouTube's support for this video format, the popularity has been rapidly rising. Use this project to generate closing credits that fit the style of those videos perfectly.
4. Free Cinematic Title Style Library
Start your Premiere project off strong with these cinematic titles. This project is an easy-to-use style library that works in tandem with free fonts to create an easy-to-build text intro with many options.

8. 17 Free Anamorphic Lens Flares
Lens
flares are eye-catching, but they can be tricky to create in real life.
Add them in post-production with the help of these easy effects.
9. Andy's Safe Guides
Another great tool from the free FxFactory package, Safe Guides puts overlays on your footage to help you keep an eye on any parts of the shot that might be cut off or clipped from view. It's a great tool to run your footage through to ensure that it's ready for export.

11. Premiere Pro Title Collection

12. Vignette
Vignettes are ideal for drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the frame. A heavy vignette can also create a vintage style, simulating film photography of yesteryear.
13. Pan and Zoom
One last selection from the free FxFactory package is the Pan and Zoom effect. You might also see this called the "Ken Burns" effect as it was popularized by the famous documentarian. This package makes it easy to recreate in Adobe Premiere.
14. SpeedGrade Looks
Here's another download that will help you apply creative color adjustments to your video footage with just a single click. This particular pack includes over 70 different color styles that you can use as a starting point while color grading.
