Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Select and Edit Text

First, you need to activate the text tool in Premiere Pro. Simply click on the tool, select your desired area in the program monitor, and add your text. Usually, this can be done easily by double-clicking or clicking on the text area to create a text box.

Step 2: Basic Text Formatting

Once your text is added, you have several options for customization available. You can choose from various styles and effects under 'Essential Graphics' to change the appearance of your text. To do this, go to the "Edit" menu and select the desired customization options.

Step 3: Adding Fills

An exciting new feature in this version is the ability to add up to 10 different fills for your text stroke. Select the first fill and adjust the thickness. You can experiment to achieve the desired effect and choose different colors for the fills.

Step 4: Adjusting Background and Transparency

To improve the readability of the text, you can activate a background. This can be a rectangle or a square that lies behind your text. You have the option to adjust the opacity of the background so that the text is clear and easy to read.

Step 5: Shadows and Effects

Another way to increase visibility is to add a shadow to your text. You can adjust the strength and the angle of incidence of the shadow to achieve different visual effects. The softness of the shadow can also be changed to achieve the desired degree of transparency.

Step 6: Additional Strokes and Adjustments

If you want, you can add additional strokes under the ‘Appearance’ menu. Here it is important to note that each new stroke provides its own customization options, including colors and the width of the strokes. Up to ten different strokes can be added for each text, allowing you to experiment to achieve appealing designs.

Step 7: Refining Text Lines

When experimenting with the various strokes and backgrounds, there are also settings for the line connections. Here you can select different styles to change borders and edges. Rounded corners or special connection lines can give your text more depth and structure.

Step 8: Final Adjustments

Finally, you can review all adjustments and ensure that all elements are harmoniously combined. You have the opportunity to form all backgrounds and strokes into an appealing overall picture, significantly improving the readability and visibility of your text.
