Note:

Place an image into a title

1. If necessary, double-click the title in the Expert view timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.

2. In the Monitor panel, do one of the following:

Right-click/ctrl-click in the Monitor panel and choose Image > Add Image.

Choose Text > Image > Add Image.

Premiere Elements imports the image at the size at which it was created.

3. Drag the image to the desired location in the Monitor panel. If necessary, you can adjust the size, opacity, rotation, and scale.

Images acquired with a digital still camera tend to be much larger than a video project’s screen size. To resize an image without

distorting it, Shift-drag the image’s corner handle or use the Text > Transform > Scale command.

Place an image in a text box

When you place an image in a text box, the image flows with the text as though it were a text character. It can have the same attributes as other
characters, such as strokes.

1. If necessary, double-click the title in the Expert view timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.

2. In the Adjust panel, click either the Horizontal Type Tool or the Vertical Type Tool.

3. In the Monitor panel, click to create a text box where you want to insert the image.

4. Do one of the following:

Right-click/ctrl-click the Monitor panel and choose Image > Insert Image Into Text.

Choose Text > Image > Insert Image Into Text.

5. Select an image and click Open.

Restore an image to its original size or aspect ratio

1. If necessary, double-click the title in the Expert view timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.

2. Select the image and do any of the following:

Choose Text > Image > Restore Image Size.

Choose Text > Image > Restore Image Aspect Ratio.

If you want to use an image or moving video as a background only, superimpose the title on a clip of the image or video.
