Adding titles
To add a title, do one of the following:
 Position the current-time indicator at the point on the clip where you want to add the title.
Select Text > New Text and choose Default Still, Default Roll, or Default Crawl.
 Position the current-time indicator on the clip to display it on the monitor panel. Drag a
title template from the Classic Titles category in the Titles And Text panel and drop it on
the Monitor Panel.
Superimposing titles
By default, when you create a new title, the title appears superimposed over the video clip at the
position of the current-time indicator. However, you can choose to place it in an empty area of
the Expert view timeline with no underlying video. Later, you can drag the title from the empty
area onto a clip.
When you create a title in an empty area, Adobe Premiere Elements places it in the Video 1 track
of the Expert view timeline and into the Title track in the Quick view timeline.

Create a still title

The titling tools in Adobe Premiere Elements are powerful, yet easy to use. You can use any font
installed on your computer, and create graphic objects by using the shape creation tools. You
can also use an included template, preset text style, or image. Title text can run horizontally or
vertically. You can stretch or shrink titles, or give them a color or shadow.
1. Do one of the following:
o To superimpose the new title on a video clip, select the clip.
o To add a title without underlying video, select the first clip in the Expert view
timeline. In the Project Assets panel, select New Item from the Panel options and
choose Black Video. In the Expert view timeline, drag the new black video clip to
the beginning of the movie.
2. With the superimposed clip or the black video clip selected, select New Item from the
Panel options menu and choose Title. Adobe Premiere Elements places default text in
the Monitor panel, in title-editing mode.
3. Do either of the following:
o To add horizontal type, double-click the default text, and type to replace it.
o To add vertical type, click and hold the Type Tool button. Then choose Vertical
Type Tool. Click in the Monitor panel, and type your title.
 4. In the Monitor panel, click the Selection Tool, and reposition the text as desired.
The title is saved and added to the Project Assets panel, and to the Quick view timeline or the
Expert view timeline.

Create a title with animated text

You can easily apply a preset animation to any still title. Text animation presets quickly and
easily animate the characters in your title so that they fade or pop characters into view, or fly in
from the top or bottom of the screen. For example, using the Fade In By Characters preset
instantly makes each separate character in your title fade into view until the title is complete.To
preview an animation, position the pointer on the Animation tab in the Adjust panel.
1. Do one of the following:
o In the Quick view timeline, select the superimposed clip. In the Monitor panel,
click the clip, and then double-click the title text.
o In the Expert view timeline, double-click the title clip.

The Adjust panel changes to display the text options.

2. In the Adjust panel, select an animation preset under the Animation tab.
3. Do one of the following to apply the preset to the title:
o Click Apply.
o Drag the preset to the Monitor window and drop it on top of the title text.

Create a rolling or crawling title

Although static titles, graphics, and images may suffice for some projects, others require titles
that move. Using roll and crawl options, you can instantly create professional-looking moving
titles. The length of the title in the Quick view timeline determines the speed of the movement.
The more you increase the title clip length, the slower the movement.
Rolling titles move characters vertically across the screen.
Crawling titles move characters horizontally across the screen.
Keyframes let you move characters across a custom path that you create by setting different
position keyframes at several points in time.
Use Roll/Crawl options to change a rolling title to a crawling title or vice versa, specify the
direction of a crawl, and set the timing of movement.
A rolling title is commonly used for production credits.
Create a rolling or crawling title
1. Do one of the following:
o To create a rolling title, choose Text > Roll/Crawl Options > Roll.
o To create a crawling title, choose Text > Roll/Crawl Options > Crawl.
2. Create the text and graphic objects for the title. Use the Monitor panel's scroll bar to
view offscreen areas of the title. When the title is added to the Quick view timeline or
the Expert view timeline, the hidden offscreen areas roll or crawl into view.
3. Select the Roll/Crawl Options in the Roll/Crawl Options dialog box.
4. Specify options as desired, and then click OK.

until the roll or crawl completes.
Postroll
Specifies the number of frames that play after the roll or crawl completes.
Crawl Left and Crawl Right
Specify the direction in which a crawl moves.

Create a title from a template

Some templates include graphic images that may be pertinent to your movie’s subject matter,
such as new baby or vacation. Others include placeholder text that you can replace to create
credits for your movie. Some templates have transparent backgrounds, depicted by black
backgrounds, allowing you to see your video beneath the title. Others are completely opaque.
You can easily change every text or graphic object in the template by selecting the object and
either deleting it or overwriting it. You can also add objects to the title. After you make
modifications, your unique version of the title is saved with your project without affecting the
template on which it’s based.
