Key insights

• Live-Text-Templates allow easy adjustments of text and animations.
• Using Adobe Dynamic Link makes it easier to exchange between Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• Changes in After Effects are automatically reflected in Premiere Pro without affecting existing animations.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparing the Live-Text Template

Start by setting up your environment in After Effects. Here you can create simple text layers that you want to animate later. To use this feature, create a new project and add a text layer. It is important to save this file so that you can easily retrieve it later in Premiere Pro. Since I have already prepared something, I will now show it to you.

2. Transferring the File to Premiere Pro

Once you have completed your text template in After Effects, it is time to import the file into Premiere Pro. Simply go to your project window in Premiere Pro, right-click, and select the import option. You can select and import the previously saved file. This procedure is crucial for editing the animation and text simultaneously.

3. Working with the Imported Composition

Once the file is imported, you will find the composition in the project window. Double-click on the composition to open it in the source monitor. In this monitor, you can view the effect settings. If this area is not visible, press the corresponding arrows to activate the effect settings. You will now see all animated areas and can make adjustments.

4. Making Changes to the Text

To change the text, select the desired text layer and edit the text directly in the source monitor. This is the moment when you will feel the magic: you just have to adjust the text, and the animation will automatically remain intact. For example, change the text to “Welcome” and watch how the animation adjusts accordingly.

5. Adjustments to Animations

In addition to entering text, you can also change other settings such as brightness or opacity. These adjustments immediately affect the animation. Use the effect settings to reduce the transparency of the text, for example, to achieve impressive visual effects.

6. Changing Font and Position

If you want to change the font, select the respective option and choose the desired font. Once you have made all the desired adjustments, return to your Premiere Pro project. Here you will see that all changes have also been reflected there, which makes the integration between After Effects and Premiere Pro really efficient.

7. Final Adjustments and Export

Once you are satisfied with the adjustments, you can further refine the position of the text. Use the transform tool to position the text accurately. To save the changes and prepare the project, export it according to your preferences. Now you are ready to share the final video!
