Subtitles of the Movie

Its easy to design create and use sophisticated titles in your projects using Premiere Pro title designer component which I have open here. The features of this title design are, include the ability to set a variety of text properties in your titles. Over here I have my title properties, notice that I can transform my title by changing the opacity. X and Y position width and height, rotation, I have properties here such as font family, style, size, aspect, letting and kearning which is this spacing between letters, tracking and bay shift as well as small caps and slant. I can work with the fill, color, opacity, I can work with the stroke of the text setting colors outer strokes, inner strokes, type color, as well as other attributes such as the drop shadow down here at the bottom. Changing the color opacity angle and distance and size so you can see that I have a lot of features here that you'll find in a sophisticated word processing program or text application or design application like Indesign. You can also use a variety of styles down here, prebuilt style to style that title, I have a large variety of styles that I can apply simply by clicking on the style here in the title style palette. These comes pre-shipped with Premiere Pro CS3. You can also create custom styles that you can save and use ith other title documents. Once you've established your title properties and styles go ahead and close the title designer, the way you apply these titles is you drag and drop them right on to the timeline. Notice that the title file is stored here in the projects panel. Let's go ahead and delete title one and drag onto here title two and I can modify title two by double clicking on it here in the project panel. And that'll open up the title designer and allow me then to work on the properties or styles of this additional title. Now unlike other clips titles reopen here in the titler, not the source monitor as you notice. We open in 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 then export the title. Let's go ahead and close the title designer and then with the timeline selected choose file, export, notice that one of the options is title. So I can go ahead and export this title as a separate file notice that it has a PRTL, Premiere title extension. For version 2.0 of Adobe Premiere Pro titles were saved as independent files separate from the project file but 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 in the newer versions of Premiere Pro. In addition to basing new titles on existing titles you can also create titles from scratch by choosing from the main menu, file, new, title right here in the middle of the drop down menu. Go ahead and name the title click OK and notice that will open up title designer where you can then go ahead and add a new title using the various title tools here as well as create titles that have graphics on them, using the various tools here in the title tools panel. Once you're done adding your various tools and setting up your properties or adding some title styles to it go ahead and close the title designer and notice that the new title is now available here in the projects panel. Let's go ahead and delete title 2 and let's add title 3 to my timeline. You can see there are the new shapes that I added. Now I had that wild text on there but notice that in the new title that's not added just the new stuff that I added to title number 3. In summary the Premiere Pro CS3 title designer gives you a great deal of control in creating and editing sophisticated looking titles for your Premiere Pro projects because their stored as independent clips in the project panel. Their also easy to use anywhere in a sequence or even in other Premiere files.
