How to Edit Text in Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro has great features that allow users to update and customize the text in their video projects. I’ve personally used Premiere Pro to edit text in different types of videos. In this tutorial, I’ll share some of my personal experiences editing text in Premiere Pro.

How to Edit Text in Premiere Pro

Step 1:

First Select type Tool [ T ] and click on your video to write your text on it. When you type a new text you can see a layer created in the timeline.

You can carry out some advanced text edits using templates that are provided by Premiere Pro. Below are a few notable ones. 

  • Callouts

A call-out is a phrase or word that is used to draw the attention of something to the screen. To direct the audience’s attention where you want it to go, utilize callouts in your design. Callout graphics are available in Adobe Stock. To get to callouts, start by selecting Adobe Stock from the Graphics Panel by clicking on it.

This Adobe Stock tool is accessible for Premiere Pro. Left, Right, and Center are the three different style categories that are available to you when you are selecting callouts. A sound effects library is also available to you.

When you wish to do voice-over video tutorials, you may also employ callouts. Animated arrow callouts, a two-line headline callout, etc. are among the options.

  • Clean Titles and Lower Thirds Using MOGRT 

A Motion Graphics Template for Premiere Pro is called MOGRT. The MOGRT files have a.mogrt extension and are self-contained. On Premiere Pro, MOGRTs can be created. To create a MOGRT Simply click on Adobe Stock to search for the mogrt that suits your needs.

The MOGRT set includes tasteful, tidy lower thirds and matching titles that work well with most projects and aid in maintaining the consistency of your content.
