The document describes the steps to create and add a title to a video clip in Adobe Premiere Pro, including: 1) Creating a new title, selecting a font, and customizing colors and effects. 2) Dragging the finished title onto the timeline above the video clip to overlay it. 3) Using opacity keyframes on the effects control tab to fade the title in and out at specific points on the timeline. 4) Rendering the final video to apply the title effects.

1. Creating and
Adding a
Title to
Video Clip
on Premier
Pro

2. First, I selected ‘Title’, ‘New Title’ then ‘Default Still’ and gave it a
name (Jess Jones). I kept the suggested settings as they could
always be changed throughout the process of making the title. I
was able to use the Background Video Timecode (shown above in
the red box) to find the timing of the video of where I wanted the
title to appear- toggling the background video on and off was
done by selecting the eye above it. I then selected different types
of fonts I wanted to use.

3. Adobe Garamond White
90

4. Caslon Pro 68

5. Nueva Std

6. Lithos Pro

7. I went with my first choice, Adobe Garamond White 90 but then found a font similar- Garamond
Black 37. I liked the colour already set so just messed around with the Linear Gradient until I got
a nice white outline around ‘Home’, breaking up the block colour a little bit.

8. Once done creating the title, I closed the tab- as it automatically
saved it to the project files- and dragged and dropped it onto
the timeline- into V2, above the video clip. This meant it would
be transparent and overlay the video.

9. I then selected the Effects Control tab and set the opacity of the
title to zero. I selected the circle, shown in the red box, to add
this key frame- marking where I wanted this transition of the
fade to start and end.

10. I moved along the timeline to pick the next point where I wanted the title to fade onto the
screen more, adjusting the opacity to a higher percentage and selecting the circle to add
the key frame. After this point, I began to reduce the opacity in order for the title to begin
fading out.

11. Finally, I adjusted the opacity for the last part and
set it back to zero. I then rendered the footage so
the red bar above the sequence turned green.
