Premiere Pro · After Effects

Every Premiere tool,
one press away.

What mouzeclick adds inside Premiere Pro and After Effects: a Tool wheel in both, one-press Unnest, recordings lined up in three steps, a Toolbar worth docking and every installed effect by name.

Premiere + mouzeclick

Things Premiere
can't do on its own.

No knocks, only the gaps. Each row quotes what Premiere lacks or does its own way, then shows what mouzeclick adds.

01Fill frame

In Premiere alone

A fill with no black bars is something Premiere itself does not offer.

With mouzeclick

Fill frame in one press, beside Fit frame, Fill width, Fill height and Punch in / out.

Tool wheel › ZoomToolbar

02Safe frame & guides

In Premiere alone

Premiere has no layer that shows but does not export: a guide on the timeline goes out with the video unless it is switched off or removed.

With mouzeclick

Safe frame & guides for 65 presets, on a track of their own; your footage is never moved or changed. Show / Hide is one press, and the tab warns you while they show.

Studio › GuidesToolbar

03Captions in any font

In Premiere alone

Captions go on Premiere's own caption track, editable in Premiere. mouzeclick keeps that track: it is still there.

With mouzeclick

Styled on the video: 289 looks in 27 families, drawn in every font on your computer plus mouzeclick's caption fonts, Hindi ones too, about 60 of them new, timed to the words. Premiere needs none of the fonts.

Studio › Captions › Look

04Label shortcuts

In Premiere alone

Premiere lets scripts colour only a clip's source, so a clip on the timeline is coloured through Premiere's own Edit › Label command, which needs its shortcuts.

With mouzeclick

Set them up for me: with Premiere closed, mouzeclick writes all sixteen label shortcuts into Premiere's own shortcut file, backup kept.

Premiere bridge › Label tools

05Sync recordings

In Premiere alone

Recordings line up with Premiere's own Clip › Synchronize, by audio, timecode or clip markers. mouzeclick leaves that step to Premiere.

With mouzeclick

Spread first puts each recording on its own tracks where it is in time, adding tracks when needed. After Clip › Synchronize, Close synced trims the overhangs and closes the gap.

06Unnest

In Premiere alone

Unnesting the way you would by hand: open the nest, copy everything, go back and paste it over the nest on the right tracks.

With mouzeclick

One press, with Premiere's own copy and paste, so speed changes, transitions, labels and time remapping come back exactly. Picture only leaves the sound out.

Tool wheelToolbarStudio › Timeline

Built on Premiere, not around it: Unnest uses its copy and paste, labels its Edit › Label, and recordings line up with its own Clip › Synchronize. Undo mouzeclick edit takes back the last Unnest, Spread or Close in one press.

Unnest

Unnest, in one press.

It opens the nest, copies everything, goes back and pastes it over the nest on the right tracks. It is Premiere's own copy and paste, so speed changes, transitions, labels and time remapping come back exactly. On the Tool wheel, in the Studio and on the Toolbar.

mouzeclick StudioSequence 01
Found 5 of 5 at its track and time.
  • Picture only. Only the nest's picture comes back (video, graphics, titles); no audio tracks are added. A sound half the nest has on the timeline stays exactly where it is.
  • Select roughly. Nests, multicam clips and merged clips are each handled, anything else in the selection is left alone.

Nothing is lost on the way. The nested sequence stays in the project and is never touched.

  1. Parked past the end

    The nest waits, whole, past the end of your sequence while the paste lands.

  2. Proven, clip by clip

    Every clip, Graphic included, has to be found at its track and time.

  3. Only then it goes

    The nest goes only once every clip is in place. If Premiere refuses a step half-way, Unnest puts everything back as it was.

  4. Undo mouzeclick edit

    One press puts the nest back where it was, with its own effects. It changes nothing if you edited since.

Sync recordings

Line up every camera
and the recorder.

Cameras and a separate recorder, all of the same moment, stacked on one track. Spread in mouzeclick puts each on its own tracks, Premiere's own Clip › Synchronize lines them up, then Close synced in mouzeclick trims the overhangs and closes the gap.

Lined up by Premiere's Clip › Synchronize. Next: step 3, Close synced
  1. 1Spread

    Select the camera clips and the recorder's sound. Each goes onto its own tracks where it is in time, with its trims, effects and linked sound. Tracks are added when needed; nothing is covered.

  2. 2Clip › Synchronize, in Premiere

    Premiere's own command, not a mouzeclick button: it lines the spread recordings up by audio, timecode or clip markers. mouzeclick gets them ready before and tidies up after.

  3. 3Close synced

    Trims the overhangs, then moves only the synced clips left into the empty time before them.

  4. Undo mouzeclick edit

    One press takes back the last Spread or Close synced. It checks the timeline first and changes nothing if you edited since. If Premiere refuses a step half-way, Spread puts everything back as it was.

Spread and Close synced are on the Tool wheel, in Studio › Timeline and on the Toolbar. Ctrl+Z in Premiere still works, a step at a time.

mouzeclick Toolbar

A toolbar worth docking.

Window › Extensions › mouzeclick Toolbar. Every tool has its name and what it does, in groups, and it fits any dock in Premiere.

After Effects · Tool wheel

After Effects gets
its own wheel.

114 tools in 13 groups, four layouts to start from, and one panel bridge that serves Premiere Pro and After Effects at once.

  • Centre, fit, fill
  • New layers above your selection

Rig, anchor, wiggle.
One flick each.

Hold F10 over your comp and the groups open round the ring. Move onto one, flick to a tool and let go. A note by the pointer says what it did.

  • Lands where you need it. New layers go above your selection, trimmed to it. Null + Parent rigs it in one flick.
  • Two grids. The Anchor grid moves the anchor and the layer never moves. The Align grid is exact under scale and rotation.
  • One undo step each. One Ctrl + Z takes back a whole action. An effect with nothing selected makes its own adjustment layer.
  • Four ways to start. Default, Motion Design, Animate or Finishing, from Tool wheel › New. Switch between them on the demo wheel.

Updated in 0.54mousecut: an editor’s timeline inside After Effects. G closes the gaps, Alt+Left/Right nudges the selected clips a frame (Shift: ten), and each edit is one undo step. Window › Extensions › mousecut.

Search effects

Search effects, in After Effects too.

Results show After Effects’ effect categories. Shift + Enter pins an effect to your wheel.

One bridge

One panel, both apps.

The mouzeclick panel runs in Premiere Pro and After Effects at once, and each app gets only its own commands. mouzeclick refreshes the bridge files itself on start.

After an update, restart After Effects once, then open Window › Extensions › mouzeclick.

All of it, on any mouse.
