At first, the process of creating title graphics in Adobe Premiere may seem confusing, and you might find you run into some roadblocks if you’re unsure of what to do. In this article, you’ll find instructions for creating new titles and using them within your video, as well as adding some simple effects to create title motion graphics. 

How to Create Title Graphics in Adobe Premiere

After opening the project where you’d like to add a title graphic, navigate in the timeline to the area where you want your title graphic to appear.  There are several ways you can create a title.

Method 1 (Old Way)

Legacy titles will soon be leaving Premiere Pro, so it’s recommended you start using the next method outlined below. 

Editing Your Titles

If you use method two, there is another way you can edit your title graphics and how they appear within your video in Adobe Premiere. This method makes titles easier to edit once they are inserted into the project. Follow the steps below to use Premiere’s Essential Graphics feature to edit your titles. 

Saving Your Title Text Style

You may also want to save a text style you have created for future use. You can do this through the Styles feature. 

Using Title Graphics Templates

Within the Essential Graphics feature, Adobe has also provided some templates you can use to quickly format your text the way you want it. They have many popular types of formats available. Here’s how to find and use them.  Using these templates makes it easy to create good-looking text relatively quickly. However, you may not find the kind of template you’re looking for, or maybe you want to create your own animation for your title. You can do this as well if you want to invest some more time into your title creation. 

Creating Title Motion Graphics

Before you start creating motion graphics for your titles in Premiere, you’ll want to have an understanding of how keyframes work. Keyframes are points of changing values of certain effects which, when played in your project, will appear as an animation of the effect.  For example, if you have one keyframe on some text where the opacity value is first at 100%, and then another keyframe after it where the opacity is at 0%, your text will animate with this lowering opacity level to appear like it’s fading out.  To create your own motion graphics, follow these steps.  Once you figure out how it’s done, creating simple motion graphics can become very easy and add some great flair to your videos. You can also play around with effects to create some cool looking graphics. 

Creating Title Graphics in Premiere Pro

Using Premiere Pro tools, it’s easy to make good-looking titles as well as motion graphics for your titles. With a little tinkering with the effects controls, you’ll soon create professional-looking title graphics. Premiere Pro is a very powerful editing program for this reason among many others.
