Premiere Pro Reference
Trapcode Starglow has been ported to run as an effect filter in Premiere Pro 2.0 and later. Staglow will not function properly in earlier versions of Premiere Pro. Starglow v1.5 does support Premiere Pro CS3 on both Windows XP and Mac OS X (Intel Mac).
Interface
Trapcode Starglow offers the same controls as the After Effects version. All of the same options and compositing modes that are covered in the Interface section apply to Premiere Pro.
Accessing the Effect
The Trapcode Starglow filter is installed in the Trapcode category. Simply drag and drop the effect onto any item on the timeline.
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 Starglow to.
