Hey Ruan here from TunnelvizionTV and welcome back to the Adobe Premiere Pro video
series and in this tutorial I'm going to show you guys how to create titles and
lower thirds inside of Premiere so first of all let's bring in a video clip so
I'm going to bring in clip number 1 and let's say we want to add a title nice in
the middle and let's create a band first for our titles so I'm going to right
click go to new bin and I'm going to call this one titles ok so now we want
to create our first title so I'm going to go to file new and then I'm going to
select legacy title all right so it's going to ask me to give it a name I'm
just going to call it main title and it's going to ask you the width and the
height and the time basis I'm going to leave it all by default I'm going to
leave a default click on OK and it's going to give you this window where you
can design your title I'm going to expand it or make it slightly bigger and
basically you've got all these text tools so I'm going to click on the tee
and I'm just going to click somewhere in the video and you can now create your
title so I'm going to call this my movie and you can obviously click on the
selection tool and you can click and drag to move that title around and you
can go to this side you can change the font so I'm going to click on this
drop-down and you can change the font to anything you like so if you go down here
you can either just scroll on the side and choose a desired font and you can
also set the size I can change the size here you can change the color okay maybe
let's change it is something a little bit brighter maybe yellow and yeah let's
scale it up so you're on the side you can align it so you can click on Center
horizontally and Center vertically that was Center your title nicely and then by
speed once you're done with your title you can just close this window and
you'll see that you have a main title here in your project window so now I can
drag this and just file it under my titles
alright so let's say we want to bring it into our video I can just use it as a
normal video clip I can click and drag bring it onto the timeline and there you
have your title so you can obviously extend it
the whole video we can just make it at the beginning of your videos if you play
that back it will be there and then it will disappear so let's say I wanted to
fade in and fade out so it's exactly the same as using transitions on a video
clip so I'm going to right click on the start of that title and I'm going to
choose apply default transition and I'm going to do the same at the end so I'm
going to right click there at the end of that clip apply default transition and
if I play this back you'll see that the title will fade in and it will fade out
again all right let's say we want to add another title maybe underneath it now I
can either go into this main title you can double click here or double click
here to edit it and then you can add some more text right here inside of this
title right something yeah and I'm just going to select this line and we're
going to make it smaller and maybe just Center it vertically and then you can
use the arrow keys to move it up and that will basically just edit that title
so if you play this back it will have all the transitions that you added on
that title on that as well because it's all in the same title and what you can
do as well you can let's go into this main title I'm going to remove this
sentence from here and then I'm going to create a new title for that secondary
line so I'm going to go to titles go file new and then we're going to click
on legacy title let's just call it second line and then I'm going to type
something at the bottom
right and I'm going to position it okay close this down and now we've got two
titles so now I can bring in the second title place it on top of my main title
and basically now I've got that on a separate layer so as you can see if you
play this back those transitions the cross dissolves it's not on that second
layer it's only my main title and we can always add it on this one as well just
by right-clicking and adding default role decisions so now we've got it on
that as well so the cool thing about doing it in separate titles you can now
go ahead and you can click on your second title go to effect controls and
you can position this one independently of your main title so you can maybe move
it to the bottom but there and you can do the same with your main title so you
can click on main title add anything position it as you like you can also go
ahead and rotate it and you can also change the scale and you can also change
the opacity okay another thing that you can do is let's delete that and let's
create a new title so I'm going to select my titles burn again click on
file new legacy title and I'm just going to call this lower third alright so
let's say you want to add the name of someone that's in the video to the
bottom of the video anyone to make it look quite nice so I'm going to click on
the text tool and I'm going to type their name and their surname and maybe
also the position of that or the title of that person so it would be the title
something something something will be there and let's just move this down to
the bottom and I'm going to change the font maybe just do something nice and
sudden something like that alright let's change the color of this
title to black so I'm going to highlight it go to color change the color to black
and let's say we want to add a solid color behind this text so I'm going to
click on this rectangle to I'm just going to draw out a rectangle like that
and one change the color of this rectangle something click on the color
let's change it to a grey color and I want to move it now behind the text but
as you can see if I move it over it's actually in front of our text so we
move it backwards so I'm going to right-click on this rectangle go to
arrange and I'm going to say send to back that will see that all the way to
the back go to the bottom layer and I can see it's behind our text course and
I can set it somewhere around here you can use your arrow keys to position it
nicely and let's say you want to change the opacity of that box you can do that
as well so if you have this box selected and the opacity I'm going to change this
down to 50% and I can kind of see through that box you can see the video
behind it so when we close this down and I'm going
to bring in my lower third on top of my video and you can see we've got our
lower third right there and with that lower third selected you can now go
ahead and you can change the position something like that and let's say you
want that lower third I need to appear during a specific section of your video
you can extend it and now we can also add in a transition effect at the
beginning and the end so it kind of fades in and fades out so I'm going to
right click on the start go to apply default transition I'm going to be the
same at the back and I will play this back you'll see that it's going to fade
in and at the end it's just going to fade out again so now I can go in and
you can also scale it if you want to make it slightly smaller and position it
in the right place where you want to and there you have your lower third and
that's how easy it is to create titles and lower thirds inside of Premiere I'll
see you guys in the next video
