How to Use a Title Template for Premiere Pro Editing

One very handy function of Premiere Pro is the ability to create titles. Titles are also known as credits, and 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 templates. You can also edit, restore, rename and delete templates from your saved templates.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Digitized video clips in a sequence

Instructions

1. Go to the Title Menu at the top of your workspace. Choose “Templates” and then select one from the list.

2. Choose “Set Template as Default Still” from the menu to set a default template. The default template that you chose will open when you load the Title editor.

3. Choose “Restore Default Templates” from menu to restore the default set. Click Close when you have finished.

4. Go to the Title Menu at the top of your workspace and choose Templates to rename or delete. Select a template from the list.

5. Choose “Rename Template” from the menu to rename the template. Type in the name you want in the “Name text box,” and click on OK.

6. Choose “Delete Template” from the menu to delete, and then click on Yes.

Tips & Warnings

• 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.

• If you choose to delete a template using the above steps it will be permanently removed from the hard disk.
