Instructor: So we already learned how
to add new titles using the Essential Graphics panel.
We have these presets,
but what if we wanna create something of our own
and add motion to it?
Let me just create a quick title card graphic,
so if I click new layer, rectangle,
then I'm going to make this really big
and actually cover the entire screen
so that we can have a blank title card.
Just increase the size like that.
Great.
Now I'm going to add new text.
It's again saving the text style
from what I used before.
Just use our text tool which is also T on our keyboard,
if we wanna use a hotkey to select this text.
I'll just say hello, and then I will centre it.
Just like so.
I'm going to create another little text for underneath.
My name is Phil.
And I'm going to make this smaller.
Okay, so I have my two texts,
and say I wanna add just a little bit
of subtle motion to these.
This is something we actually do
in the Effects Control panel.
So to see that better, I'm gonna close my graphics panel,
and we're going to add motion with key frames
in our Effects Control panel.
So what we need to do is find our text.
So, we have our text that says hello,
and then our text that says my name is Phil.
So if I choose my text hello
and I go down,
oops I don't wanna change anything.
Let's go down to our Transform tools, or properties.
Here we can see that we have our position,
we have our scale, we have all kinds of things here.
So let's do a little animation of position.
To create an animation we have to set key frames,
and we set key frames with this little stopwatch
little icon right here.
So if I go to the very beginning of this text
and I click Position, right there,
it sets a little key frame,
and you see that it's right there.
If I got forward, and I move to the right,
it moves the text and it adds another key frame.
And what it's telling Premiere Pro to do
is that between this key frame and this key frame,
I need it go from here to there.
And what that creates is some motion.
So if we play through this, you see that motion.
At the end of that key frame, though,
it kind of stops.
And so one kind of really quick beginner tip
is that if you add motion,
make sure that you have it going throughout
the entire title.
And usually slower motion is better, too.
So let's do the same thing with the other text
for my name is Phil.
Well, if we go down to the bottom,
go down to Transform, let's actually just for fun
add a scale animation.
So, sometimes I'll just go in the middle
of the title, and I'll just set a key frame,
and I'll go forward a little bit
and let's increase it just a little bit.
And I see that the anchor point
is down in the bottom left, which is fine.
So it's growing kinda from the bottom left.
If I wanted to change where it was growing from,
I would change the anchor point with those options here.
So let's see if we move it over here like so.
Now it's growing from the centre.
It's a little hard to tell for you,
but now what I would do is take this first key frame,
drag it to the left, to the very beginning.
And then drag this second one,
drag it to the right to the very end of this title.
And then let's actually just move it over.
Just so it's in the centre.
So now if we play through this,
we have that little subtle animation.
And just adding little animations like that
can take your text and your title cards
to the next level.
We can still go back, and this is what's cool about this.
We can still go back, we can change the style if we want,
we can, say I don't like the drop shadow anymore,
we can go here and take off that shadow.
Change anything that you want.
So that's pretty cool.
So if we do want to save this as a style,
what we can do under Master Styles,
is just click on this dropdown,
say create master text style.
We'll call this red with white stroke.
Okay?
So now what happens is, this actually appears
in our project bin, which is really interesting.
So if we go forward in our timeline
and let's just say I create a new text.
I press T on my keyboard,
and click up here.
And I type in something.
Well, it already has that style
because it's a new text in the same project.
But say, let's just change this up.
Say we change it, and we get rid of the stroke.
We're here.
But I wanna apply the old text style,
we can just drag and drop this on top of that
text file, or that text block in our timeline.
And it applies the same style that we have
for my name is Phil, which we just saved,
to this text.
We can even go up to our text up here,
and we can change the master style.
Which, I created another one, Text Style One.
That's another clean text style
that I used before.
Cool, so those are just a couple other quick tips
for using the new Essential Graphics panel.
Let me know if you have any questions,
I'm brand new to this like everyone is,
and if you have any ideas,
or if you saw something that I didn't see,
please let me know.
And if you're confused at all,
let me know and I'll try to help you out.
Thanks a lot.
