    How can I align multiple titles in Premiere Pro?

    bstoneking Community Member

      We are working on a video (obviously) and we have a bullet list that we'd like to come up as the speaker is naming off specific items. So far we have created a separate title for each bullet point, so that we can control when the bullets fade in. The issue we're having is that we have to eyeball the alignment right now and it's not always accurate. So i'm looking for some help. How can I select multiple titles in the timeline and right align them - OR - is there a way to have all of these bullet points in one title and still maintain control of when they fade in and out?

          TThere's a number of ways you can do this but easiest is probably to build the final title, with all bullets lined up as you want them to look in ONE title Over your background video.

           

          Now copy your background video to V3 and V4

           

          DIsable V4 copy

           

          Crop or mask V3 copy so first bullet revealed and add transition to reveal V3

           

          enable V4 clip

           

          Roll edit point of V4 to where you want 2nd bullet to appear

           

          crop/mask V4 clip to reveal first two bullet points

           

          add transition to V4

           

          you can repeat this to reveal the rest

           

          (v3 is now covered by v4 so you can add an edit underneath )

           

          its it's easier than it sounds...

            This technique will only work with current versions of PPro - it looks harder to do than it actually is:

            Create the title with all the bullet points, aligned as you wish, in the Title Tool.

            Exit the title tool, the title you just created will appear in your project.

            Click on the title to select it (if it is not already selected) and then go to the menu Edit > Duplicate.

            Repeat the duplication process to make as many copies as number of bullet points you want to transition on.

            Place the first copy of the title where you want the Title to appear in your video.

            Double click on the clip of the title on the timeline to re-open the Title Tool. Delete all the text except the first line.

            Now place the second copy where you want it to appear in the video.

            Double click on it to re-enter the Title Tool, and delete all the text except the first two lines.

            Repeat this process for as many bullet points as you have, delating one fewer bullet point each time. You can add transitions at the cut points between the titles (such as a dissolve) to make the next bullet point appear as you wish.

            If you try to to this using an early version of PPro this will not work as the titles and its copies are linked - so if you change one of the copies, it changes all the other titles. Fortunately this has been fixed in the current version.

              Create a Single title with everything on it.

               

              Use a Linear wipe Effect with key frames to reveal bullet point by bullet point.

               

              Easy.

                So here's two ways... First is one title with 3 different crops. The second is one title with the background masked above to reveal each line.

                 

                Although I also like the linear wipe effect too...
