Why we like it

MARIONETTE Pro earns its place in the adobe_exchange library for handling clip positioning across multiple selections and snapping keyframed clips without breaking their movement.

What is MARIONETTE Pro?

MARIONETTE Pro is an extension for Premiere Pro that snaps clips to positions within an area according to the size of the clip. Multiple selected items can be placed together, and arrangement accounts for the value of the Crop effect. The Pro version adds tools to manipulate clips, including Horizontal/Vertical Snap, Alpha Crop, Smart Scaling, AddKey, and All Keyframe Control, and it lets you control motion effects when multiple selections are made.

Version 2 brings full support for All Keyframe Control. With it, clips carrying keyframes can be snapped to a position or center point on the left panel without disrupting the movement of the keyframe. An InputBox accepts numerical values entered with plus and minus, MARIONETTE shortcut keys can be used for panel selection, and the UI has been improved.

It's listed here as free, and this version dates to April 2022. For full documentation, including a Japanese write-up, check the developer's page.

Frequently asked questions

Does MARIONETTE Pro work with my version of Premiere Pro?

MARIONETTE Pro lists compatibility with Premiere Pro 8.0 and later, so it should load in those versions as an extension. It runs inside Premiere Pro rather than as a standalone app, so a working install of the host is required. This card reflects version 2.0.0, dated April 2022. If you run a newer Premiere Pro release, check the developer's page for any updates on support before installing, since compatibility can shift between host versions over time.

Is MARIONETTE Pro free?

MARIONETTE Pro is listed here as free. Licensing terms can change, so for the current arrangement and any Pro version details it's best to confirm on the developer's page before you download. The Pro tier is where features like Horizontal/Vertical Snap, Alpha Crop, Smart Scaling, AddKey, and All Keyframe Control live, so make sure the version you pick includes the tools you need.

What's new in MARIONETTE Pro version 2?

MARIONETTE Pro version 2 adds full support for All Keyframe Control, letting clips with keyframes snap to a position or center point on the left panel without disrupting the keyframe movement. It also introduces an InputBox for entering numerical values with plus and minus, adds MARIONETTE shortcut keys for panel selection, and improves the UI. These changes build on the extension's core job of arranging clips by size and position across multiple selections.

Can MARIONETTE Pro arrange several clips at once?

MARIONETTE Pro can place multiple selected items together, snapping them to positions in an area according to each clip's size. Its arrangement also accounts for the value of the Crop effect, and the Pro version lets you control motion effects when multiple selections are made. All Keyframe Control extends this to keyframed clips, snapping them to a position or center point without disrupting their movement.
