Premiere Pro Interface
Trapcode 3D Stroke has been ported to run as an effect filter in Premiere Pro 2.0 and later. 3D stroke will not function properly in earlier versions of Premiere Pro. 3D Stroke supports Premiere Pro CS3 on both Windows XP and Mac OS X (Intel Mac).
Interface
Trapcode 3D stroke offers nearly the same controls as the After Effects version. The main differences are with the application of strokes and the use of the 3D camera.
Apply Premiere Pro
It is best to Apply Premiere Pro to a Black Video item. Simply create a new Black Video item from File > New > Black Video and then drop this on the timeline. Once the object is on the timeline, you can scale it to fit your animation requirements just like trimming any other clip. Then you can select the item and apply 3D stroke from the Effects tab.
Accessing the Effect
The Trapcode 3D Stroke filter is installed in the Trapcode category. Simply drag and drop the effect onto any item on the timeline.
Options
The Options button next to name of the plug-in can be used to enter a serial number to authorize a copy or get purchasing information. See the Installation section for more information.
Shapes and Scale
3D Stroke offers two options for working with shapes. Either open an arbitrary .SVG shape file, or choose one of the 40 preset shapes under the Preset menu. You can see the options for the presets in New in version 2.5 section.

Open
The Open File... button will bring up a dialog where you can choose a .SVG shape file to use as the 3D stroke source shape. This file can contain one or more open or closed shapes, but should not contain animation of the shape.
Preset
Choose one of the 40 preset shapes as the base for 3D stroke to render.
Scale X
Use the Scale X control to modify the height of the base shape. For example, if you wanted the shape to appear larger than the canvas, then enter a value of 3 or greater to expand the shape outside the visible canvas. This will scale the corresponding stroke and any other transforms as if the shape had been drawn outside the canvas window.
Scale Y
Use the Scale X control to modify the width of the base shape. For example, if you wanted the shape to appear larger than the canvas, then enter a value of 3 or greater to expand the shape outside the visible canvas. This will scale the corresponding stroke and any other transforms as if the shape had been drawn outside the canvas window.
16-bit support in Premiere Pro
The Trapcode Starglow filter will support greater than 8-bit-per-channel output, but you have to change the Video Render settings to render using the Maximum Bit Depth option. When you create a New Project..., choose Custom Settings and click the Video Rendering category to reveal the bit depth option. Clicking this option is the same as rendering in 16-bit mode in After Effects. This will preserve the quality of any 10-bit or 12-bit media that you apply 3D Stroke to.
