Stack
Adjustment layers & colour mattes over your clips, one click. No more dragging layers across from the Project panel.
Works in Premiere Pro 2025+ · Mac & Windows
Adjustment layer or colour mattes over your clip
Select a clip, click Adjustment, and Stack drops an adjustment layer over it on the track above, matched to the clip. No New Item dialog, no dragging from the Project panel.
A layer on every clip
Select any number of clips, scattered, stacked or staircased across tracks, and Shift-click gives every clip its own adjustment layer, sized to the clip and placed on the track above it. Ideal for grading or effecting clips individually.
Transition layers on every cut
Alt-click with a run of clips selected and Stack drops a short layer centred on each cut between them — perfect for transition adjustment layers or colour mattes.
Key bindings, your way
Swap what Shift-click and Alt-click do (layer on clips, layer on cuts, or nothing) from the panel menu. Tooltips update to match, and your choice is remembered between sessions.
Apply an effect on creation
Pick a default effect from the panel menu, any native Premiere effect or one of your own saved presets, and Stack applies it to every adjustment layer the moment it’s created. Native effects and your presets rebuild through Premiere’s extension API; a few preset extras don’t carry over: masks, Lumetri wheels and curves, keyframed colours, transition presets, and custom keyframe easing.
Smart track placement
Each transition layer lands on the track just above the clips it’s straddling, not piled on the top track, so your timeline stays readable.
Set your default length
Pick the default length for playhead and transition layers — 1, 2, 3 frames for tight transitions, or any custom count. Remembered between sessions.
Pick your label colour
Choose the colour new adjustment layers and mattes are created with, from all 16 of Premiere’s colours, so you can scan your timeline at a glance.
Horizontal or vertical
Flip the panel to a stacked vertical strip from the flyout menu, whichever way suits your workspace.
Docks anywhere, matches your theme
Dock it wherever suits your workflow, and it matches your Premiere theme so it blends straight in.
