How to Create Titles for Television in Premiere Pro
One very handy function of Adobe Premiere Pro is its ability to create titles. Titles are also known as credits, and can include any type of text seen in a movie, including the title of the film or video, the names of the actors and crew and even subtitles. They can be created in any font available on your computer, and you can add logos, photos and other graphics to customize your movie. An important consideration to keep in mind when creating titles is where they will appear on your viewer’s screen. If your movie will be viewed on a standard size television, the titles must be created within the “title safe margins.”

Locate the two rectangular boxes around the edges of the editing box. They define what is known as the “title-safe and action-safe margin.” This designates the title’s visible area. These margins are set by default, and show you the viewable area used for TV and videotape. This margin ensures that the titles will fit in the area that most TVs will display.
