How to Add Professional-Looking Text Effects in Premiere Pro

Are you looking to add a touch of professionalism to your next project? One way to do this is by incorporating text effects into your video. Adobe Premiere Pro offers a range of text animation styles that can help elevate the look of your opening titles, on-screen dialogue, ending credits, and lower thirds.

In this tutorial, we will take you through the process of adding text effects in Premiere Pro. With these steps, you'll be able to create simple text effects from scratch and enhance the overall visual appeal of your project.

Step 1: Accessing Text Presets

To access Adobe Premiere Pro's text presets, navigate to the Essential Graphics panel by going to Window > Essential Graphics. This will open up a range of pre-designed templates that you can use as a starting point for your text effects.

Step 2: Selecting and Customizing Text Presets

Select the text preset that you like best and drag it to the timeline where you want it to appear. You can then customize the template to fit your needs by using the various tools available in the Effects Controls panel.

The Align and Transform tools allow you to center the text, while the Text tool enables you to change the font. The Appearance tool gives you control over the color or adds a drop shadow to your text.

Step 3: Editing Text Presets

If you don't like the current text effects, you can always go back and edit them. Play back the text animation to see how it looks, then select the text in the timeline by right-clicking on it. This will bring up the customization options, allowing you to double-click on the text to start the editing process.
