How to Import and Export Title Files in Premiere Pro

One very handy function of Premiere Pro is the ability to create titles. Titles, like credits, can include any type of text, including title of your movie, names of your actors and crew and even subtitles. They can be created using any font available on your computer, and you can add logos, photos and other graphics to customize your movie. Titles can be created from scratch or from templates, and you can also import titles from other projects as well as export titles created for use in other projects.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Edited video sequence

Instructions

1. Go to the file menu at the top of the workspace and choose “Import” to import a title that has been exported from another project.

2. In the import pop-up browser, navigate to the location of your saved file and select the title. Click on “Open.” The title will appear in your project window panel.

3. Double click on the name of the title within the panel if you want to make edits. Close the title window by clicking on the “x” in the upper right corner. Your title will appear in your project window, identified by the name you gave it. Save your project to save the work done to the title.

4. Select the title you want to export as an independent file in the project panel. Go to the file menu at the top of the workspace and choose “Export” and then “Title.” Navigate to the location that you want to save the file. Choose a name for it, and click on "Save."

Tips & Warnings

• If you plan to import and export titles across multiple projects, you may consider creating a file in a specific location on your hard drive. This will make it easier to locate your titles quickly.

• Creating titles should be one of the final steps of your project. You will want to wait until your edit is complete before creating and placing them in your edit, otherwise you may end up creating extra work for yourself.
