In my video project, I had 35 different title “slides”. These are useful because you can overlay text in order to give the viewer more information about what’s going on. For my video, I used it to tell the viewer what type of animal was on screen at that time.

To start with, you open up the project that you’re going to add a title on. Then you click on the “Title” tab on the sequence box. On this screen, you click the film icon with a “T” on it, this creates a new title.

Creating the new title opens up this box where you can change specifics about the title card. Here you can name the title whatever you want. The name doesn’t really matter, just something so that you remember what title card says what.

Once you hit “OK”, it goes back to the sequence. But now you can click anywhere on your video to add text. After you’ve typed what you want to display, there is all sorts of properties you can change over on the right. For example you can change the font, size, or color of the text. You can also readjust where the words are positioned on the screen.

When you’re satisfied with your title card, you drag it onto the video timeline from the source box just like any video or sound clip. It’s possible to adjust how long the title card is on the screen just like adjusting the length of a clip.

That’s all there is to overlaying words on a video in Premier CC.
