EDITING FUNCTIONS OF LEGACY TITLE

【No.04-02】【Premiere Pro】[Beginner] EDITING FUNCTIONS OF LEGACY TITLE

Legacy titles have many editing functions, but this time, I would like to focus on the ones I want to keep!

In the second half, I will also explain how to create a template for the title you actually created!

Legacy title edit screen layout

The edit screen for legacy titles has this layout!

① You can select the tool.

② You can align the positions of the characters.

③ This is the preview screen.

④ You can select a preset style.

⑤ You can make various settings for character appearance.

Editing Legacy titles

Now, let’s actually edit the legacy title!

Vertical Type Tool

Select the vertical writing tool from the upper left of the window.

When you actually type in the characters, they are inputted vertically like this.

Many editing software does not support vertical writing of text, so this function is nice.

Area Type Tool

Select “Area Character Tool”.

It is a tool that allows you to type in the square area created by dragging.

It is useful when typing long sentences!

Path Type Tool

Next, Select “Path type tool”.

You can enter text along the curve created with the Pen tool.

There are many other tools out there, so give it a try!

Text alignment

Let’s look at the feature that aligns text positions!

① Select the text.

② Click both Vertical Center and Horizontal Center of Center.

The text will move to the center of the screen!

Next, let’s align the positions of multiple texts!

① Select both the text “Test 1” and the text ② “Test 2”.

③ Click the Horizontal Center button at Align.

Please note that this button cannot be clicked unless multiple texts are selected.

This will horizontally align the two texts in the middle position.

Distribute text at equal intervals

Next, let’s align the three texts.

① Select the three texts.

② You can click the “Distribution” button.

If you click the “Horizontal center” button from “Distribution”, the distribution will be at equal intervals in the horizontal direction.

Distribute is used to distribute the distance between paragraphs

Align is used to align the position of the text on the screen

Be careful not to get confused!

If you click the “Vertical Center” button, it will be distributed vertically at equal intervals.

Please note that “Alignment” will not be valid unless you select two or more texts and “Distribution” three or more.

Character decoration

Now let’s talk about the appearance of letters!

① Select the text you want to change.

② We will make various changes in the “Legacy Title Property”!

First, change the value of “opacity”. Let’s lower the number!

Then the text will be transparent like this!

Lowering opacity increases transparency.

Change the value of “Width”.

Then you can change the width like this.

Change the value of “Height” in the same way.

“Height” can be changed.

Let’s change the value of “Rotation”.

Then you can rotate the text.

You can change the “font” here.

The impression changes a lot when you change the “font”.

“Kerning” allows you to adjust the space between characters.

I tried to widen the space between letters.

Next, change the color of the letters!

It can be changed with “Color” in the “Fill” item. You can apply various coating methods such as solid coating, gradation, and bevel in “Fill Type”, so please give it a try!

I changed the color like this

With strokes, you can emphasize the characters by adding borders. If you edit videos on YouTube, be sure to keep it down!

Now, let’s select Outer stroke

Then the stroke properties are added like this! You can make changes in the properties. Try changing the “size” and “color”!

Strokes make the characters thicker and easier to see.

Editing of the legacy title is now complete!

Template text design

From here, we will make a template of the edited text design!

① Select the text you want to template.

② Click to the right of Legacy Title Style.

Select New Style

This will bring up a window like this. After deciding on the name, click the “OK” button.

Then the template will be added like this!
