When adding text to a title, you can use any font on your system, including Type 1 (PostScript), OpenType, and TrueType fonts. Installing
Premiere Pro (and other Adobe applications) adds fonts to the shared Adobe resources.

You can insert special characters, such as the © symbol, into point text or paragraph text. Copy the characters from a word processor or from
the Character Map accessory (Windows only) and paste them into the correct text location in the Titler.

You can copy and paste formatted text objects between the Premiere Pro Titler and other applications such as After Effects, Photoshop, Encore,
and Illustrator.

Depending on the tool you choose in the Titler, you can create point text or paragraph text. When you create point text, you specify an insertion
point
where you want to begin typing. Typing continues on a single line unless you enable the word wrap feature. Word wrap continues the text on
a new line when it reaches the edge of the title-safe area. When you create paragraph text, you specify a text box in which the text fits. The text in
a text box wraps automatically within the borders of the box.

Dragging the corner handle of a point-text object scales the text, Dragging the corner of a text box reflows the text it contains. If a text box is too
small to contain the characters you type, you can resize it to reveal the hidden text. Text boxes that contain hidden characters have a plus sign (+)
on the right side of the box.

You can also create path text. Instead of following a straight baseline, path text follows a curve you create.

Text can be oriented horizontally or vertically along its baseline or path.

provides a video tutorial

on the Creative COW website that demonstrates formatting and styling text in the Titler.

Type text without boundaries

1. Open the Title Tools panel.

To type horizontal text, click the Type tool

.

To type vertical text, click the Vertical Type tool

.

2. In the drawing area, click where you want to begin, and then type the text.

By default, text does not wrap. To make it wrap when it reaches the title-safe margin, choose Title > Word Wrap. When Word Wrap is

deselected, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) to begin a new line.

3. When you finish typing, choose the Selection tool and click outside the text box area.
