How to Create Titles for Premiere Pro Using Photoshop
Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the major video editing applications on the market. Its tools and features put it on a par with other video editing programs like Avid or Final Cut Pro. One function that Premiere includes is the New Title utility, which lets you create and add titles to your videos. Unfortunately, this title creator is not quite as versatile as some users might require. If you need advanced freestyle tittles like those for an animation video, you will have to import them from another application like Adobe Photoshop.
