![]() Just in case you are a hardened fan of the “old” way of creating text, the original text editor still exists though it has been relocated! Previous versions treated text like they were separate, individual video clips that could then be loaded into your source monitor and then cut into the timeline and this had its benefits but the newer method(s) definitely take things to the next level. The new method of creating text is more intuitive and has much better integration than ever before. NOTE: Here’s an article that shows how to use the Essential Graphics panel to create a motion graphic template of this title for use elsewhere.It has been a few years since Adobe has re-designed the way text is created and modified in Adobe Premiere. Here’s our finished title, with a red rectangle created using the Pen tool, then Opacity set to 25% in Effect Controls and and placed under “Power” to emphasize the word. When you are moving text, the text block is blue. NOTE: When you are entering text, the text block is red. You don’t need to select the text clip in the Timeline first, but the playhead needs to be inside the text clip in the Timeline if you want to see it in the Program Monitor. To move a text block within a title clip, select the Move tool (shortcut: V), then click inside the text block you want to move in the Program Monitor and drag the text to its new position. However, for really complex titles you can still use the Title panel or Photoshop. NOTE: While the Title panel still exists and has more formatting options than this new Text tool, the Effect Controls panel contains the most popular text formatting settings. Here, for instance, using the settings in Effect Controls, we’ve changed the font, added a drop shadow, and matched the color of her jeans. Blocks that are empty just say “Text”, blocks that have text in them display the actual text next to the word “Text”. To delete an unwanted text block, select its name – “Text” – in Effect Controls and press the large Delete key. Worse, these text blocks are almost impossible to spot on screen. ![]() NOTE: It is very, VERY easy to create extra, unwanted text blocks inside a title clip simply by clicking anywhere inside the Program Monitor. Instead, you need select the Text tool, then select the text you want to change in the Program Monitor THEN change it using Effect Controls.Īlso, you don’t need to select the text clip in the Timeline first. Why? Because a single title clip can contain multiple text blocks. This is important: it is NOT enough to select, or double-click, the clip in the Timeline to change it. NOTE: This dance footage is courtesy of Amy Campion and Antics Performance ( As soon as we start typing, a new graphic clip is created in the Timeline at the position of the playhead though this clip does not appear in the Project panel. Notice that when we are creating text, it is bounded by a red box the cursor is indicated by a red vertical line. Select it, (um, it’s the letter T) then create a title by typing directly on the Program Monitor.įor instance, let’s create a new title graphic for our video. You’ll find it at the bottom of the Tools panel. Just as with Photoshop, there’s now a text tool in Premiere. NOTE: Here’s a webinar I recently presenting illustrating the new features in this update. New with the Spring, 2017, update to Adobe Premiere Pro is the new Text tool and much easier ways to create titles.
