How to Title a Movie in Premiere

Now your audience doesn't have to guess which family event your video has documented - you can tell them with a separate title frame. These instructions use Adobe Premiere 4 for Windows.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Premiere

Instructions

1. Click on the File menu, then New, then Title. A window appears.

2. Use the tools on the palette to enter text and shapes, and to color them the way you want.

3. With the Title window active, click on Window menu, then on Title Window Options.

4. Select your size and background color. Click for opaque if desired. Click OK.

5. Click on the File menu, then on Save. A window opens.

6. Name and save your title.

7. Drag your title from the Title window to the Construction window. It has a default duration of one second.

8. Position your title at the beginning of the movie.

Tips & Warnings

• To superimpose a title over a frame, drag the title into the Superimpose track, then, with the clip selected, adjust the transparency options in the Clip window.

• If you want to add some text over a movie, instead of adding a separate title, see the Related eHow "How to Add Text Over a Movie in Premiere."
