Adobe Premiere: Insert text into a video - how it works

With Adobe Premiere, you can easily insert text elements into a video. There are two ways to do this: First, the placement of text by a third-party file and the fading of a video title in Adobe Premiere. We'll show you how it's done.

1. Select a clip and click on "Title" -> "New Title" -> "Standard Title" in the top menu bar.
2. Name your title and click "OK".
3. You can now enter text into the video and format it using the top panel. Once you're happy, you can close the window to get back to your video.
4. Now drag the newly created title from the working files of your project onto a video track.

Insert external video text in Adobe Premiere

If you want to insert a text with shape, for example from an Adobe Illustrator file, you can do this via "Import":

1. Click on "File" -> "Import" and select an external file - for example from Adobe Illustrator.
2. You can now also drag this file from your working files onto any video track.
