How to Add Text and Titles in Adobe Premiere Pro
Text and titles are essential elements in video editing, used for introducing scenes, adding subtitles, or enhancing storytelling. Adobe Premiere Pro offers powerful tools to create and customize text and titles directly within your videos. Here’s how to do it step by step.
Step 1: Access the Essential Graphics Panel
The Essential Graphics Panel allows you to create and customize text and titles. Open the panel to start designing your text elements for the video.
Step 2: Add Text to the Timeline
Use the Type Tool to add text to your project. The text will appear on the Program Monitor, and a new text layer will be added to the timeline above your video clips.
Step 3: Customize Text Appearance
Style your text to match the theme of your video using the Essential Graphics Panel. Adjust font, size, color, and add visual enhancements like shadows, strokes, or background boxes for better visibility.
Step 4: Animate Text
Add movement to your text by animating properties like position, scale, and opacity using keyframes in the Effects Controls Panel. Combine animations with effects like fade-ins and fade-outs for a polished look.
Step 5: Use Motion Graphics Templates (MOGRTs)
Enhance your titles with pre-designed motion graphics templates from the Essential Graphics Panel. Drag and drop a template onto the timeline, then customize the text and animations to suit your video.
Step 6: Export Titles with the Video
Ensure your text and titles are rendered correctly during export. Use high-resolution settings and an appropriate bitrate for crisp text quality. Preview the final video in the Program Monitor to confirm everything is aligned.
