Step 1: Prepare the Basics

Open Adobe Premiere Pro and load your desired project. To work with the new text gradients, a text field must first be present in the workspace. Click on the "Graphics" area in the top toolbar, ensuring that the Essential Graphics panel is active.

Step 2: Add Text

When you are in the Essential Graphics panel, you can add a new text layer. To do this, click on the “New Layer” icon and select the “Text” option. Type the text you want to apply a gradient to in the text field. For example, you could use "PST Tutorials" in your text.

Step 3: Enable Gradient

To create a gradient for your text, select the color fill of your text by clicking on the corresponding box in the Essential Graphics panel. A dropdown menu will appear in which you can select the option for the “linear gradient”.

Step 4: Adjust Colors

Now you have the opportunity to adjust the colors for your gradient. Select the desired color area and click in the color rule area to choose the colors. In this example, you could choose a yellow color and combine it with some orange or red to create a harmonious gradient.

Step 5: Edit Gradient

After selecting the base colors, you have the option to move the color midpoint. At this point, you can adjust the breakpoints of the gradient. By moving the sliders, you can create steeper transitions between the colors that make the effect more interesting.

Step 6: Add Opacity

You can also adjust the opacity of the colors individually. Experiment with the parameters to create a gradient that is visually appealing and well integrated into your overall project.

Step 7: Try Radial Gradient

You can also select a radial gradient to achieve a different visual effect. Activate the radial gradient settings and adjust them with the breakpoints to create more dynamic effects.

Step 8: Completion and Usage

Once you are satisfied with the gradient, click "OK" to save the changes. You can now use the text in your project and copy or edit it further if needed. Use the new options to make your text more lively.
