While transitions are one category of Premiere special effects, we group the other types together here because they are fundamentally different from transitions. The purpose of transitions is to take you from Image 1 to Image 2. The other effects fall more into the category of making Image 1 interesting in its own right.

Here's another summary of the special effects used in "A Recipe":

Image Pan and Other Filters

Transparency and the Superimposition Track

Motion

Experiment as you much as you like with these effects. When you're satisfied with your finished project, it's time to build your movie file.
