How to Draw a Straight Line on a Premiere Pro Title
The Adobe Premiere Pro program has a very handy title-creation tool. Titles in a video can include any type of text, including the name of your movie, the 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. You can also use the title editor to create straight lines across the area of your Title Editor window. You may choose to add straight directional or diagonal lines to your title, depending on the sort of effect you wish to create.

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 placing titles in it; otherwise, you may end up creating extra work for yourself.
To correct mistakes, go to the Edit menu at the top of your workspace, then select Undo.
