Part 2: Tips for Using Premiere Pro Text Effects within Your Videos
- Use Drop Shadows or Glow Effects
- Tip: Dark backgrounds will make glow effects pop. Duplicating the text layer will also intensify the color and the glow effect
- Incorporate Shapes
- Layer text and shapes to create a cohesive image.
- Strategically place shapes and text within the frame.
- Change Text Alignment
- Video titles don’t always have to be front and center.
- Play Around With Color
- RGB glitch effects animate the color of your text. Try contrasting these effects with a vibrant background for some funky chaos or a gray background for a different contrasting effect.
As you can see, it doesn’t take years of motion graphics or design experience to bring your video titles to life in Premiere Pro. Using any of the above presets, or even learning to create your own, will add a unique pop and flair to your videos.
