How to add text in premiere

Have you ever been in the middle of an exciting video editing project, only to find yourself stumped by how to add text to your clips? Perhaps you’re crafting a compelling narrative and want to emphasize important points with on-screen text, or you’re adding a title screen to give your video a polished look. Either way, learning how to insert text in Adobe Premiere Pro can elevate your video to the next level. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to seamlessly integrate text into your project.

To add text in Adobe Premiere Pro, use the Type Tool (T) from the toolbar, click on the program monitor where you want the text to appear, and type your desired text. Adjust your text properties in the Essential Graphics panel as needed.

When adding text in Adobe Premiere Pro, start by selecting the Type Tool from the toolbar or pressing the “T” key on your keyboard. This tool allows you to click directly on your program monitor, creating a text box where you can enter your text. Once you finish typing, you can switch to the selection tool (the arrow icon) to reposition the text as needed. To modify the appearance of your text–such as font, size, color, and alignment–navigate to the Essential Graphics panel. If you don’t see it, you can enable it by going to the “Window” menu and selecting “Essential Graphics.” Here, you can also explore additional features, like adding shadows or outlines to enhance readability. Finally, you can animate your text by keyframing its position or opacity in the timeline, giving your video a more dynamic feel. This simple yet powerful tool is crucial for storytelling through visuals in your projects.
