Smart search in Effects, Graphics, Looks and Keyboard Shortcuts

Applies to 0.11Updated 9 Nov 20261 min read

Type words in any order, with one typo, or in Russian: the search finds the right effect, template, look or shortcut, best matches first.

Smart search works in Effects and transitions, Graphics templates, Motion Studio, Text Studio, Looks, Title Styles and Keyboard Shortcuts. Results narrow as you type.

  • Every word, in any order: “blur gaussian” finds Gaussian Blur.
  • Best first: a whole word in the name, then a word that starts with it, then category and tags, then descriptions. In Effects, each folder lists its best matches first.
  • One typo is forgiven in words of 5 letters or more: “gausian” still finds Gaussian Blur.
  • Russian finds the English names: размытие finds Blur, тряска камеры finds Camera Shake, свечение finds Glow.
  • Text Studio also searches category, family and sample words; Motion Studio searches engine and sample words; Looks ignore accents.
