WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.238 --> 00:00:04.859 In this tutorial we'll learn how to use the 2 00:00:04.859 --> 00:00:07.349 Adobe Premier Pro Title Creator 3 00:00:07.349 --> 00:00:11.516 line:15% to create title cards, or any type of title for your video. 4 00:00:13.709 --> 00:00:16.878 line:15% To create a new title, just click this New Item button 5 00:00:16.878 --> 00:00:18.579 line:15% and click Title. 6 00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:21.296 line:15% It's going to ask you to name that title, 7 00:00:21.296 --> 00:00:23.618 and choose the width and the height 8 00:00:23.618 --> 00:00:27.337 which will be set to the sequence settings that you are on. 9 00:00:27.337 --> 00:00:29.737 So for us it's 640 by 360. 10 00:00:29.737 --> 00:00:31.638 I'm going to call this Ice Bucket 11 00:00:31.638 --> 00:00:33.228 just so that I know what it is. 12 00:00:33.228 --> 00:00:36.738 It's going to be a title that actually appears over 13 00:00:36.738 --> 00:00:37.571 the clips 14 00:00:39.766 --> 00:00:40.665 here, 15 00:00:40.665 --> 00:00:44.178 where Anthony is doing the Ice Bucket Challenge. 16 00:00:44.178 --> 00:00:46.827 So you saw that this title editor pops out 17 00:00:46.827 --> 00:00:48.545 when you create that new title, 18 00:00:48.545 --> 00:00:51.302 line:15% and to get to that title editor when you're not 19 00:00:51.302 --> 00:00:55.098 line:15% having it open, you can just double click any title. 20 00:00:55.098 --> 00:00:56.885 line:15% So, here I have this title under graphics. 21 00:00:56.885 --> 00:01:00.967 line:15% I might even create a new bucket called Titles 22 00:01:00.967 --> 00:01:02.677 line:15% put that in that bucket, 23 00:01:02.677 --> 00:01:03.886 line:15% and double click it. 24 00:01:03.886 --> 00:01:06.276 And that opens up the title editor. 25 00:01:06.276 --> 00:01:08.708 Let's go around this and I'll just walk you through 26 00:01:08.708 --> 00:01:10.628 what these different options are. 27 00:01:10.628 --> 00:01:14.058 Then we'll go head and create a title for this. 28 00:01:14.058 --> 00:01:17.106 Up on the top left, you have a lot of control settings. 29 00:01:17.106 --> 00:01:20.467 So you have your selection, your text tool, 30 00:01:20.467 --> 00:01:22.566 shape tool so that you can add shapes 31 00:01:22.566 --> 00:01:24.867 to your actual title graphics, 32 00:01:24.867 --> 00:01:28.568 and some other ones that might come in handy as well. 33 00:01:28.568 --> 00:01:30.797 At the top, these are your font settings 34 00:01:30.797 --> 00:01:32.457 and your text settings. 35 00:01:32.457 --> 00:01:34.426 Cuz when you do start creating texts 36 00:01:34.426 --> 00:01:37.679 it will pop up with the choices there. 37 00:01:37.679 --> 00:01:39.467 Over on the right you have Title Properties 38 00:01:39.467 --> 00:01:41.664 which include more properties. 39 00:01:41.664 --> 00:01:42.857 I'll go through those in a second 40 00:01:42.857 --> 00:01:45.018 when we add our text. 41 00:01:45.018 --> 00:01:48.949 line:15% At the bottom you have pre-set title styles. 42 00:01:48.949 --> 00:01:50.887 line:15% On the left bottom you have align tools. 43 00:01:50.887 --> 00:01:52.516 Let's go head and look at it. 44 00:01:52.516 --> 00:01:56.014 So if I just click in the middle with my text tool selected, 45 00:01:56.014 --> 00:01:58.608 and then I start typing, 46 00:01:58.608 --> 00:02:01.317 say Anthony's Ice Bucket 47 00:02:01.317 --> 00:02:02.150 Challenge 48 00:02:03.058 --> 00:02:04.338 Video, 49 00:02:04.338 --> 00:02:08.068 and I'm typing but it's going off the screen. 50 00:02:08.068 --> 00:02:10.419 So I have to make this smaller. 51 00:02:10.419 --> 00:02:13.055 So up here at the top you have your font size. 52 00:02:13.055 --> 00:02:17.027 So, just like, really, in any other text editor on 53 00:02:17.027 --> 00:02:20.450 like on Microsoft Word or any other editor 54 00:02:20.450 --> 00:02:23.129 you have your size up here. 55 00:02:23.129 --> 00:02:26.717 You have your font choice over here, too. 56 00:02:26.717 --> 00:02:30.469 So, let's say, make this something a little bit more clean. 57 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:33.200 And then you have these same options 58 00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:35.790 over here on the right, too, some of them. 59 00:02:35.790 --> 00:02:38.260 Like our font family, 60 00:02:38.260 --> 00:02:42.427 the font style, regular, bold, italics, size, aspect, 61 00:02:43.368 --> 00:02:46.419 Carrane, leading, tracking, baseline shift. 62 00:02:46.419 --> 00:02:48.770 These are all things that 63 00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:51.759 if you're familiar with regular text editors, 64 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.459 you'll be familiar here as well. 65 00:02:54.459 --> 00:02:57.971 So we have to make this a little bit smaller, 66 00:02:57.971 --> 00:02:59.410 and then change the colour. 67 00:02:59.410 --> 00:03:01.181 So for now, let's just change the colour 68 00:03:01.181 --> 00:03:02.764 from white to black 69 00:03:04.031 --> 00:03:07.439 just by clicking the colour picker down here. 70 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.727 On the right you also have other options for opaste. 71 00:03:09.727 --> 00:03:12.608 Say we want this to be a little less opaque 72 00:03:12.608 --> 00:03:14.238 line:15% we can add strokes to it. 73 00:03:14.238 --> 00:03:16.909 line:15% So if we want an outer stroke to maybe make it 74 00:03:16.909 --> 00:03:18.808 line:15% stand out a little bit more 75 00:03:18.808 --> 00:03:19.967 line:15% we can make it do that. 76 00:03:19.967 --> 00:03:21.687 line:15% When I click that Add Stroke button, 77 00:03:21.687 --> 00:03:24.485 line:15% this new stroke options popped up. 78 00:03:24.485 --> 00:03:27.368 line:15% You can change the colour of the stroke to 79 00:03:27.368 --> 00:03:30.547 line:15% maybe red, or something like that to make it stand out. 80 00:03:30.547 --> 00:03:32.005 line:15% You can increase the size of the strokes 81 00:03:32.005 --> 00:03:34.794 line:15% to really make it stand out. 82 00:03:34.794 --> 00:03:36.973 line:15% And the stroke has all their own setting, too, 83 00:03:36.973 --> 00:03:37.890 for opaste, 84 00:03:38.881 --> 00:03:40.233 size, 85 00:03:40.233 --> 00:03:42.361 if you want it on the edge, 86 00:03:42.361 --> 00:03:43.760 depth, drop face. 87 00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.040 These are things to play around with 88 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:47.441 just to see what they look like yourself. 89 00:03:47.441 --> 00:03:49.443 Drop shadow, I'm just going to delete that stroke. 90 00:03:49.443 --> 00:03:51.390 So I'm just going to say Delete. 91 00:03:51.390 --> 00:03:53.753 Drop shadow, this is another thing help 92 00:03:53.753 --> 00:03:55.600 your text stand out from the background, 93 00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:57.213 depending on what it is. 94 00:03:57.213 --> 00:03:59.202 With the drop shadow you have 95 00:03:59.202 --> 00:04:02.374 options like the colour, the opaste, the angle, 96 00:04:02.374 --> 00:04:04.932 line:15% the distance from the text, 97 00:04:04.932 --> 00:04:07.563 line:15% the size of the shadow, 98 00:04:07.563 --> 00:04:10.069 line:15% or the spread, how much does it fade 99 00:04:10.069 --> 00:04:13.734 line:15% verse how sharp or hard the edges are? 100 00:04:13.734 --> 00:04:16.714 So these are a lot of options just to look through 101 00:04:16.714 --> 00:04:18.474 as you start designing your own titles, 102 00:04:18.474 --> 00:04:21.014 and it's good to know they're there. 103 00:04:21.014 --> 00:04:23.214 We can move our text around just like so. 104 00:04:23.214 --> 00:04:25.385 We can even increase or decrease the size 105 00:04:25.385 --> 00:04:27.266 just by clicking on the corner. 106 00:04:27.266 --> 00:04:30.784 And increasing or decreasing the size 107 00:04:30.784 --> 00:04:34.284 to lock the aspect ratio so it doesn't get squished, 108 00:04:34.284 --> 00:04:35.515 or really spread out. 109 00:04:35.515 --> 00:04:37.305 Just press the shift button on the keyboard 110 00:04:37.305 --> 00:04:41.222 while you click the corner and drag up or down. 111 00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:44.663 line:15% I mentioned these title styles down below. 112 00:04:44.663 --> 00:04:47.403 line:15% Let's just click on one of those and see what happens. 113 00:04:47.403 --> 00:04:49.963 Boom, it adds a bunch of styles. 114 00:04:49.963 --> 00:04:52.042 Really something you could have done 115 00:04:52.042 --> 00:04:54.043 with the title properties over the right, 116 00:04:54.043 --> 00:04:56.285 line:15% but there's just a lot of pre-set styles 117 00:04:56.285 --> 00:04:59.284 line:15% that you can choose if you want to use one of these styles. 118 00:04:59.284 --> 00:05:02.615 line:15% I usually just come up with my own style. 119 00:05:02.615 --> 00:05:05.451 line:15% And some of these are a little bit too dramatic 120 00:05:05.451 --> 00:05:06.368 line:15% a little to 121 00:05:08.085 --> 00:05:09.685 line:15% to extreme for me, so 122 00:05:09.685 --> 00:05:12.976 line:15% I usually go with something a little bit cleaner. 123 00:05:12.976 --> 00:05:14.446 Let's go head and add a shape. 124 00:05:14.446 --> 00:05:17.135 So I'm gonna click this rectangle tool, 125 00:05:17.135 --> 00:05:19.297 and then I'm going to set the colour and 126 00:05:19.297 --> 00:05:21.124 we'll just keep it at black. 127 00:05:21.124 --> 00:05:23.207 And I'm just going to draw, 128 00:05:23.207 --> 00:05:27.006 drag out and draw this rectangle down here. 129 00:05:27.006 --> 00:05:30.922 Then I'm going to select my text with the selection tool. 130 00:05:30.922 --> 00:05:34.422 And change the colour of the text to white. 131 00:05:35.696 --> 00:05:36.735 Now, it's hard to see it, 132 00:05:36.735 --> 00:05:39.196 so let me just move it up here so you can see it. 133 00:05:39.196 --> 00:05:42.082 Let's play around with these alignment tools. 134 00:05:42.082 --> 00:05:44.186 If I select both of these layers, 135 00:05:44.186 --> 00:05:46.227 the shape layer and the text layer 136 00:05:46.227 --> 00:05:49.602 by selecting one and shift clicking the other one, 137 00:05:49.602 --> 00:05:51.765 look what happens when I click 138 00:05:51.765 --> 00:05:54.136 this horizontal, centre button. 139 00:05:54.136 --> 00:05:57.495 They're aligned horizontally centred. 140 00:05:57.495 --> 00:06:00.736 If I do the vertical centre, too, 141 00:06:00.736 --> 00:06:02.564 they are now on top of each other, 142 00:06:02.564 --> 00:06:03.627 but the black 143 00:06:03.627 --> 00:06:05.897 is on top of the text. 144 00:06:05.897 --> 00:06:09.095 I want this to go to the back, so I can just right click, 145 00:06:09.095 --> 00:06:11.678 say Arrange, and say send back. 146 00:06:14.186 --> 00:06:16.323 The reason why I want this shape is so that 147 00:06:16.323 --> 00:06:20.445 the black, or the white text stands out from the background 148 00:06:20.445 --> 00:06:21.895 even more. 149 00:06:21.895 --> 00:06:24.406 So I'm just going to make this shape a little bit bigger. 150 00:06:24.406 --> 00:06:27.567 Then I'm going to select both layers again, 151 00:06:27.567 --> 00:06:30.667 click that vertical centre and horizontal centre, 152 00:06:30.667 --> 00:06:34.834 and then move this down to the bottom left of this clip. 153 00:06:35.705 --> 00:06:37.845 When I'm happy with my title, 154 00:06:37.845 --> 00:06:41.095 I can just click this exit button right here. 155 00:06:41.095 --> 00:06:44.616 Then I'll take this Ice Bucket text right here, 156 00:06:44.616 --> 00:06:45.966 drag it on to a new layer 157 00:06:45.966 --> 00:06:49.735 above the video clip that I wanna add it to. 158 00:06:49.735 --> 00:06:51.545 And so, now, if I zoom in here 159 00:06:51.545 --> 00:06:54.267 you can see this clip, 160 00:06:54.267 --> 00:06:56.775 this title will play over these clips right here. 161 00:06:58.895 --> 00:07:01.186 And I can extend it over to the right, 162 00:07:01.186 --> 00:07:03.477 and also just copy and past this cross dissolve 163 00:07:03.477 --> 00:07:05.183 to the text layer itself. 164 00:07:05.183 --> 00:07:08.063 So, select it, Command C, 165 00:07:08.063 --> 00:07:09.191 Command V, 166 00:07:09.191 --> 00:07:11.950 Control for you PC users, 167 00:07:11.950 --> 00:07:12.793 and there you go. 168 00:07:12.793 --> 00:07:16.230 A nice title that explains what happening in the video, 169 00:07:16.230 --> 00:07:17.629 if people don't know, 170 00:07:17.629 --> 00:07:19.622 and especially for something so short like this, 171 00:07:19.622 --> 00:07:23.180 you might need some titles to give some more description, 172 00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.221 and it stands out from the background. 173 00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:26.902 That's the hardest thing when you're adding titles 174 00:07:26.902 --> 00:07:28.619 to a video to make sure that they stand out 175 00:07:28.619 --> 00:07:30.224 from the background. 176 00:07:30.224 --> 00:07:31.823 Sometimes you can get away with it 177 00:07:31.823 --> 00:07:33.713 by just making the text a lot bigger, 178 00:07:33.713 --> 00:07:35.663 adding a drop shadow or a stroke. 179 00:07:35.663 --> 00:07:37.904 Other times, you need some sort of 180 00:07:37.904 --> 00:07:40.113 shape layer behind the text. 181 00:07:40.113 --> 00:07:42.154 To get back and edit this title, 182 00:07:42.154 --> 00:07:45.053 we can double click from the timeline itself, 183 00:07:45.053 --> 00:07:47.984 or double click the Ice Bucket title 184 00:07:47.984 --> 00:07:50.362 in the programme window itself. 185 00:07:50.362 --> 00:07:52.873 So, that's the Title Editor. 186 00:07:52.873 --> 00:07:57.374 Go head and start adding a couple of titles to your project. 187 00:07:57.374 --> 00:07:59.244 I recommend just adding one or two, 188 00:07:59.244 --> 00:08:00.674 just to get the hang of it. 189 00:08:00.674 --> 00:08:02.472 Play around with the Title Editor. 190 00:08:02.472 --> 00:08:03.870 If you have any questions, let me know. 191 00:08:03.870 --> 00:08:05.893 I'll be sure to answer anything 192 00:08:05.893 --> 00:08:07.871 that I didn't go over in this video, 193 00:08:07.871 --> 00:08:10.082 and expand upon it in the answer. 194 00:08:10.082 --> 00:08:12.752 Or even create more tutorials on how to use it. 195 00:08:12.752 --> 00:08:15.018 Thanks so much, and we'll see you in the next lessons.
