TUTORIAL 2

Making Titles in Adobe Premiere Pro

There are two ways to create titles in Adobe re!iere:

• re!iere"s b#ilt$in Title Designer% This is the si!&lest !ethod ' the titledesigner is (#ic) and easy to access* and has hel&+#l +eat#res li)e the abilityto see video +ra!es #nderneath the title as yo# create it% The disadvantage isthat the title designer is relatively li!ited ' it"s +ine +or !ost co!!onre(#ire!ents b#t in so!e sit#ations yo#"ll need to #se the second o&tion%%%

• ,o# can create titles in another &rogra! s#ch as hotosho& and i!&ort the!into re!iere% This allows yo# to #se all the &ower o+ yo#r +avorite &rogra!+or creating advanced titles%

Using the Premiere Title Designer

re!iere"s Title Designer is a #tility which allows yo# to create si!&le te-t titles +or #sein re!iere &ro.ects%

To o&en the Title Designer* select File > New > Title or / on yo#r )eyboard% The titlewindow a&&ears as &ict#red below%

y de+a#lt* the bac)gro#nd o+ the title co!&osition area shows the c#rrent +ra!e in the

ti!eline 4i%e% the &osition o+ the scr#bber5% This allows yo# to see the video #nderneaththe title as yo# create it% ,o# can also select a di++erent +ra!e +or re+erence i+ yo# li)e%

The title co!&osition area also shows the sa+e areas $ the television sa+e area 4o#terrectangle5 and the title sa+e area 4inner rectangle5% /or best res#lts yo#r title sho#ld +itinside the title sa+e area%

To add te-t* !a)e s#re the te-t tool is selected% Clic) in the title co!&osition area andenter yo#r te-t%

To alter the +ont style and other attrib#tes* #se the Obe!t "t#le !en# to the right o+ thewindow%

Notes:

• Fairly heavy fonts work best for television and video. Fonts with fine lines are

harder to read and tend to flicker.

• You may want to add a stroke (border) andor dro!"shadow to the te#t. This

makes the te#t easier to read against the background %

6hen yo# have +inished entering the te-t* yo# can select the !ove tool and re&ositionthe title% ,o# can also right$clic) the te-t and select Align +or !ore &ositioning o&tions%

7+ yo# are #sing re!iere ro %8 or earlier* yo# will need to save the +ile 4File > "a$e5%

7+ yo# are #sing re!iere ro 2%0 or later* the title will be saved as &art o+ the &ro.ect +ile%

Transitions in Adobe Premiere

This &art shows how to create transitions in Adobe re!iere% 4Note: /or generalin+or!ation abo#t transitions* see Video Transitions%5A transition is the way one shotchanges to the ne-t% y de+a#lt* i+ two cli&s are &laced ne-t to each other in the ti!eline*the transition is a c#t% To !a)e !ore interesting transitions s#ch as dissolves* wi&es ande++ects* #se the transitions available in the E++ects window 4&ict#red right5%

There are two ty&es o+ transition: Video and a#dio% To a&&ly a transition* e-&and theVideo Transitions or A#dio Transitions bin% Choose a transition to #se%

Drag the desired transition to the ti!eline at the &oint where the two cli&s .oin* as

ill#strated below%

Example

These two cli&s are &laced ne-tto each other in the ti!eline%e+ore a transition is a&&lied* thetransition is a c#t%

Drag a video transition onto thec#t% The ti!eline will show wherethe transition will be &laced%

6hen yo# release the !o#se*the transition is a&&lied%

Transitions and *andles

6hen creating transitions in re!iere* it"s very i!&ortant to #nderstand the role o+handles% >andles are e-tra +ootage be+ore the cli&"s in$&oint and a+ter the cli&s o#t$&oint%7+ yo# view a cli& in the review !onitor as ill#strated below* the handles are the areas in

the ti!eline% 7+ yo# are #sing the entire d#ration o+ the ca&t#red cli&* then there are nohandles%

Ass#!ing the cli& does have handles* the handles are #sed to create the e-tra +ootageneeded +or the transition%

The ti!eline below shows two cli&s with a video transition% eca#se +ootage +ro! bothcli&s is needed thro#gho#t the transition* re!iere #ses the tail !aterial +ro! Cli& andthe head !aterial +ro! Cli& 2 as handles%

7+ a cli& does not have handles there are vario#s o&tions:

• 7+ one o+ the cli&s has handles* re!iere will a#to!atically align the transition on

the other cli& rather than the edit &oint%

• 7+ neither o+ the cli&s have handles* re!iere will re&eat the last=+irst +ra!e o+ the

cli&s to !a)e the transition%

•

Try dragging the transition le+t and right in the ti!eline to get the best co!&ro!isebetween available +ootage and re&eated +ra!es%

6hen a transition is #sed with re&eated +ra!es* diagonal warning stri&s are shown asill#strated below% 7n this case Cli& 3 lac)s a handle* so the +irst +ra!e o+ Cli& 3 isre&eated +or the +irst hal+ o+ the transition:

There are two ways to view and wor) with )ey+ra!es: 7n the Timeline and in the 'ffect-ontrols window%

The Timeline

Bey+ra!es can be dis&layed in the ti!eline when a video trac) is e-&anded% A line isshown with s!all dia!onds !ar)ing the )ey+ra!es li)e so:

This is a relatively easy* int#itive way to view and !ani&#late )ey+ra!es% n the

downside* )ey+ra!es can only be shown +or one e++ect at a ti!e and control is not as&recise as #sing the E++ects Control window%

(e#0rames in the +00e!t -ontrols ,indow

The &re+erred way to create and edit )ey+ra!es in Adobe re!iere is to #se the E++ectControls window% To begin* o&en the E++ects Control window 4,indow > +00e!t-ontrols5 and select the a&&ro&riate cli& in the Ti!eline%

The right$hand side o+ the window is a !iniat#re ti!eline which shows he selected cli&*with )ey+ra!es indicated by dia!ond icons% This view allows yo# to see and edit

)ey+ra!es +or all e++ects at once%

The le+t side o+ the window shows all e++ects which have been a&&lied to the selectedcli&% Each e++ect incl#des the +ollowing:

Notes:

• f you want to create a sim!le fade between cli!s or to black/ a -ross Dissolve

transition is easier than ad0usting the o!acity.

Setting the Opacity of a Clip

Every video trac) in a re!iere &ro.ect has an o&acity setting% y de+a#lt this is 00*i%e% co!&letely o&a(#e 4visible5% As yo# red#ce the o&acity o+ a trac)* it beco!es !oretrans&arent and the trac) below beco!es !ore visible% 7+ there is no #nderlying trac)*the blac) bac)gro#nd beco!es visible%

At this stage both trac)s are 00 o&a(#e* so yo# only see the to& one 4Dave5% 6eneed to red#ce Dave"s o&acity to see the ho#se #nderneath% There are two ways to dothis:





1. Use the +00e!ts -ontrols &anel in the !onitor window%

2. Use the o!acity handles in the ti!eline window%

(! The Effects Control Window

• Select the Dave cli& in the Ti!eline window%

• Select the +00e!ts -ontrols tab in the 1onitor window%

• Clic) the triangle ne-t to the O%a!it# &ro&erty to e-&and it%

7n this e-a!&le we have created +o#r )ey+ra!es% ,o# can see that the )ey+ra!es areshown in both the E++ects Controls window 4above5 and the Ti!eline window 4below5%

• The +irst )ey+ra!e is set to 0 o&acity* so the cli& is invisible to begin with%

• The second and third )ey+ra!es are set to 00 o&acity* so the cli& +ades in and

re!ains co!&letely visible +or a short ti!e%
