Creating titles
Last updated 10/4/2016
You can save a combination of color properties and font characteristics as a style that you can then apply to any text or
shape element in your title. You can save any number of styles. Thumbnails of the styles appear in the Style tab in the
Adjust panel panel when the Monitor panel is in title-editing mode. Your custom styles appear among those provided
so you can quickly apply your custom styles across projects. You can change the style thumbnail from Aa to any two
characters you want in the Style Swatches preferences (Edit > Preferences > Titler / Adobe Premiere Elements 13 >
Preferences > Titler).
