Alpha Crop
Crop effect is applied to PNG/GIF/WebP files by the size of the alpha channel.
For PSD/TIFF files, you need to launch Photoshop. In the case of PSD and TIFF files, the process is passed to Photoshop once. This may take a little longer to process and may not open properly in Photoshop, so PNG is recommended.
If the same PSD or TIFF file as the clip to which Alpha Crop is applied is opened in Photoshop, the crop effect will be applied in its current state. Use this method if you are importing PSDs as separate layers in Premiere.
This allows you to snap within the area or move anchor points within a clip regardless of the size of the clip. Snap is possible even if the crop effect is turned off (fx mark is turned off) in the Effects Control Panel.
Alpha Crop cannot be used on objects created with Premiere's Rectangle tool, Ellipse tool, or Essential Graphics.
Right side panel
Even when multiple clips are selected on the timeline, operations such as moving the position, scaling, and adding key frames are performed at the same time.

All Keyframe Control
When “All Keyframe” is checked, the same amount of value is applied to the keyframes of the item selected in the pull-down menu. Even after animation is applied, you can move the position and anchor point.
All Keyframe Control is also applied when operating the placement panel on the left. Allows snapping of clips with motion within an area and placement of the center point at each point. (New!!!)

Please download this PDF file for a list of shortcut keys and functions.
Notes.
Shortcut keys are valid only when the panel is selected (blue frame) and you click inside the panel.
- When launching extensions.
- When using the shortcut key "Select previous/next panel" in PremierePro.
- When you switch to another application and come back.
- When auto save is displayed.
When this happens, the panel has a blue border, but the panel is out of focus. You need to click again inside the panel. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to make the extension panel selected.
On macOS, when the panel is floating (not docked with other panels), clicking inside the panel will not put a blue border on the panel. It is recommended to use the panel docked with other panels.
When you click on the MARIONETTE extension panel to select it and it becomes a blue box, Premiere shortcut keys are basically ignored.
However, on macOS, some shortcut keys seem to take precedence over the MARIONETTE shortcut keys, which are set in Premiere Pro.
For example, ⌘+↑/↓ will adjust the value by 0.1 in MARIONETTE's Direct Mode (when the direction buttons are white), but Premiere's default is "Select previous/next clip", which takes precedence. keyboard shortcut in Premiere If you eliminate this shortcut in the settings, the MARIONETTE shortcut key will be enabled.
Apparently, shortcuts that combine modifier keys (⌘, Option, Shift) may take precedence in Premiere if the same shortcut as MARIONETTE is set in Premiere. MARIONETTE is not yet able to properly control this.
Other corrections and changes
- Fixed a problem in which the value of the crop effect was set to "nan" when Alpha Crop was performed on a PSD or TIFF, if the unit in Photoshop Preferences was not pixels.
- Fixed a problem in which snapping and center point movement did not work properly when the pixel aspect ratio was not 1:1 in clips (and sequence settings).
- Fixed a problem in which Alpha Crop could not be performed if the file name or folder name of the selected clip contained the character "#".
- Changed the color of operation buttons for All Keyframe, Group, etc.
- Supported Alpha Crop for WebP format clips.

MARIONETTE Pro allows you to control motion effects when multiple selections are made. So what can you do with it? It's going to be a Premiere experience like never before.
And MARIONETTE Pro will continue to evolve.
