Choose or create title templates



The title templates included with Adobe Premiere Pro provide numerous themes and preset layouts that make it quick and easy to design a title. Some templates include graphics that may be pertinent to your movie’s subject matter, such as new baby or vacation themes. Others include placeholder text that you can replace to create credits for your movie. Some templates have transparent backgrounds, represented by dark gray and light gray squares, so that you can see your video beneath the title; others are completely opaque.

You can easily change any element in the template by selecting the element and either deleting it or overwriting it. You can also add elements to the template. After you modify the template, you can save it as a title file for use in current and future projects. Alternately, you can save any title you create as a template.

You can also import title files from another Adobe Premiere Pro project as templates. If you share templates between computers, make sure that each system includes all the fonts, textures, logos, and images used in the template.

Note: When you apply a new template, its content replaces any content currently in the Titler.
