AI VFX Effects for Premiere Pro

Every effect FXbuddy can generate — from scene relighting to AI rotoscoping. Pick a clip, describe what you want, and it lands on your timeline.

Effects

AI Scene Relighting

Change the lighting of any clip — golden hour, moody neon, candlelight, overcast fill — without leaving your timeline.

AI Object Removal

Erase boom mics, logos, props, power lines, or unwanted background elements. No manual masking required.

AI Sky Replacement

Swap grey overcast skies for golden sunsets, storm clouds, or night skies. Temporally consistent across the clip.

AI Background Swap

Replace the entire background with an AI-generated environment. No green screen. Describe the location you want.

Isolate subjects from backgrounds in seconds. Replaces hours of manual mask-drawing for common isolation tasks.

Fire and Explosion VFX

Add explosions, fire, and smoke that integrate with your scene's lighting. Better than stock overlays for grounded effects.

AI Style Transfer

Apply a cinematic look, film era, or art style to any clip. 16mm grain, noir, anime, Blade Runner — describe it and it applies.

Weather and Atmosphere

Add rain, snow, fog, mist, or haze. AI-generated weather integrates with your scene's depth and perspective.

Prompt Library

Copy-ready prompts for every effect type — organised by category. Paste any prompt into FXbuddy and generate immediately.

Grounded fire, explosive blasts, and ember trails that integrate with your scene's lighting.

Heat Haze and Mirage

Heat shimmer and mirage distortion for hot exterior scenes — desert roads, scorching summer days.

Laser and Energy Beams

Sci-fi lasers, plasma streams, and energy discharge effects that cast light on the surrounding scene.

Screen Replacement on Devices
