Now it moves into a process of repeating the same thing over and over. When you let go you will see something like the following. Click and hold your mouse button and drag down until you see all the text you have created so far. When you hover over that handle you will get this up/down arrow. To create the rolling title choose the middle bottom ‘handle’. Secondly, hold the Control Key (on PC) or Command Key (on Mac), and drag the handle at the middle of the bottom of the screen until you can see the next text (as shown below)…Ībove I have shown the handles that will appear all around the screen when you hit the CTL/CMD key.

It is very important that you have the text tool selected or else you will not be able to create a rolling title. I have seen people really struggle to create a rolling title in the past because they have the wrong tool selected when they do this next step. S o, how do you show that text to create the rolling title? Rolling Titles in Premiereįirst, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TEXT TOOL SELECTED! Once text has gone off screen you get the little ‘+’ sign, which is simply telling you that there is more text than shown. If it isn’t, just click in the new area you have created with the standard ‘T’ text tool and you are ready to start creating your titles.įont, size, etc are all up to you, but for this example I used a very large font and started to type out some names until they went off screen. Then, when you have finished the text cursor should be flashing. Simply click inside this area to add text.Īnother option is to drag the Standard Text Tool inside the box in the same way: …and then drag out an area from the top left of the inner box (called the title safe area) to the bottom right of the same inner box. Rather than just selecting the text tool and starting to type – which will create ‘point text’ (text that continues off the screen and will not wrap around) – you need to create ‘ area text‘ and this can be done in one of two ways.įirst, you could select the Area Type Tool… …and select the ‘Roll’ option in the dialogue box that appears:ĭon’t worry about the other options just yet, we’ll come to them later. * Note: if you want to convert a static title into a rolling one click the Roll/Crawl option box… The advantage of doing it this way is that it will create a new title with the right options in place for setting up the roll. These options are great for a static title, but what about a rolling one? From the menu bar choose Title > New Title > Default Roll. You could click the ‘new items’ button at the bottom of the project panel or access the title tool through the menu bar – File > New > Title.* You could, for example, use the keyboard shortcut: CONTROL + T (PC) or COMMAND + T (Mac). Titles can be created in a number of ways in Adobe Premiere Pro. There are a few things that you need to know in Adobe Premiere Pro to make the process of creating rolling titles an easier one.
