Why we like it

Earns its place for handling one specific, repetitive Premiere Pro task—moving Motion animation onto the Transform effect—without manual keyframe rebuilding.

What is Motion to Transform?

Motion to Transform moves animation from the Motion panel to the Transform effect in Premiere Pro without rebuilding keyframes by hand. Animating in the Motion panel is often faster and more intuitive, while the Transform effect can produce smoother motion with settings such as Shutter Angle. This plugin bridges the two so that work started in one can continue in the other.

It transfers Position, Scale, Rotation, and Anchor Point, carrying over both the values and any keyframes. Two modes are available: copy-only, which leaves the Motion animation in place, and copy-and-remove, which clears the source after transferring. When no Transform effect is applied yet, the plugin can add it automatically.

Built with UXP, Motion to Transform is at version 1.0.3 and requires Premiere Pro 25.6.4 or later. It is listed here as free. The most recent update fixed a small bug and resolved a demo video issue.

Who is Motion to Transform best for?

Motion to Transform is best for premiere Pro editors who animate in the Motion panel and want those values and keyframes on the Transform effect.

How much does Motion to Transform cost?

Motion to Transform is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Motion to Transform work with older Premiere Pro versions?

Motion to Transform requires Premiere Pro 25.6.4 or later, so it won't run on releases earlier than that version. If you're on an older build of Premiere Pro, you'd need to update before installing. Anyone already on a current release should be covered. For the latest details on supported versions and any changes to compatibility, check the developer's page at key-farmer.com, since requirements can shift with future releases of both the plugin and Premiere Pro itself.

What Motion properties does Motion to Transform transfer?

Motion to Transform transfers Position, Scale, Rotation, and Anchor Point from Premiere Pro's Motion panel to the Transform effect. It moves both the values and any keyframes you've set, so the animation carries over without being rebuilt by hand. It can also add the Transform effect automatically when one isn't already applied. This covers the common properties editors animate in the Motion panel, letting that work continue on the Transform effect, which can produce smoother motion with settings such as Shutter Angle.

What is the difference between the copy-only and copy-and-remove modes in Motion to Transform?

Motion to Transform offers two transfer modes: copy-only and copy-and-remove. Copy-only brings the Motion values and keyframes over to the Transform effect while leaving the originals in place. Copy-and-remove transfers them and clears the source afterward. Both work with Position, Scale, Rotation, and Anchor Point, and the plugin can automatically add the Transform effect when it isn't already present. Which mode you choose depends on whether you want to keep the Motion animation alongside the new Transform version or replace it entirely.

Is Motion to Transform free?

Motion to Transform is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it's best to confirm directly on the developer's page at key-farmer.com. The plugin is built with UXP and is currently at version 1.0.3, with the most recent update resolving a small bug and a demo video issue. Those details give a sense of where the plugin stands before you download and install it into Premiere Pro.
