Create a title from a template
The title templates included with Adobe Premiere Elements provide several themes and preset layouts that make it
quick and easy to design a title. Some templates include graphic images that may be pertinent to your movie’s subject
matter, such as new baby or vacation. Others include placeholder text that you can replace to create credits for your
movie. Some templates have transparent backgrounds, depicted by black backgrounds, allowing you to see your video
beneath the title; others are completely opaque.
You can easily change every text or graphic object in the template by selecting the object and either deleting it or
overwriting it. You can also add objects to the title. After you make modifications, your unique version of the title is
saved with your project without affecting the template on which it’s based.
Note: When you apply a new template, the new template content superimposes the existing template content.
1 In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Titles .
2 Browse to a template by choosing categories of templates from the two title menus.
You can choose to work in the Sceneline or the Timeline when adding title templates.
3 If you are working in the Sceneline, do one of the following:
• Drag the title template from the Tasks panel onto one of the target areas in the Sceneline. If there is a clip in the
target area, it will move to the right to make room for the new title.
• Select a clip in the Sceneline, and drag the template from the Tasks panel onto the Monitor panel. The new title will
be superimposed on the selected clip.
4 If you are working in the Timeline, do one of the following:
• Drag the title template from the Tasks panel onto any location of a video track in the Timeline.
• Drag the current-time indicator to the place where you want the title, and drag the template onto the Monitor panel.
5 Modify the title as desired.

Trim titles
To trim all instances of a title throughout a movie, use the Project view of the Tasks panel. To trim an individual
instance of a title, select it in the Sceneline or the Timeline. Trimming an instance affects the length of the title instance
in the Timeline, not the length of the original clip in the Tasks panel.
Trim all instances of a title
1 In the Tasks panel, click Organize, and then click Project.
2 Double-click the title in the Tasks panel. The title opens in the Preview window.
