Chapter 10: Titling

The Titler is a versatile tool enabling you to create, not just titles and credits, but animated composites as well.

Creating titles

About the Titler

You can think of the Titler as a collection of related panels. You can close the other panels without closing the Titler,
or you can dock the panels to each other or to other parts of the interface. When the windows aren’t docked to the
main editing interface, they always appear over the other panels, or float.

You can load more than one title into the Titler, and you can choose the one you want to view by choosing its name in
the Title tab menu.

Reopen a title when you want to change it or to duplicate it and base a new version on it. If you want to use a title in
another project, you must first open its project and export the title using the File > Export > Title command. Then you
can import it into another project as you would any other source file.

For a video tutorial introducing the Titler, see the

Adobe website

.

For instructions on creating new titles based on existing titles, and on creating new templates, see the video tutorial

Working With Custom Titles

by Jon Barrie on the Creative COW website.

Note: Before Premiere Pro 2.0, Premiere Pro saved all titles as independent files separate from the project file. You can
import titles created in older versions of Premiere Pro just as you import any footage. When you save the project, the
imported titles are saved with the project.
