Premiere Pro Templates are designed to help speed up the video editing process. They include pre-made sequences of edits, transitions, color grading presets, and these templates are ideal for projects like promotional videos, documentaries, or personal projects where a consistent look and feel is required.

- Use only A-Z, 0-9, hyphens, and underscores for file/comp/asset names
Effects:
- No 3rd party effects/plugins
Maximum of 50 different style comps:
- Less is preferred
- Do not cross categories in a single template (Ex: A broadcast pack with title, transition, and lower thirds)
- Cross-resolution in a single template is allowed only if the same style is represented between several resolutions (Ex: A template with the same style in HD, square, vertical, and 4k)
Please note: Multiple resolutions of the same style count towards the maximum of 50
Text:
