About templates
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 themes. Others include placeholder text you can replace to create
credits for your movie. Some templates are completely opaque; others have transparent backgrounds, depicted by
dark gray and light gray squares, so you can see your video beneath the title.
You can easily change every text or graphic object in the template by selecting an object and either deleting it or
overwriting it. You can also add objects to the title. Once you modify the template, your unique version of the title is
saved with your project without changing the template on which it is based.
Note: When you apply a new template, the template content replaces any content currently in the title view. If you
share templates between computers, make sure both computers have all the fonts, textures, and images used in the
template.
To create a new title from a template:
1. In the Edit workspace, click the Titles button to preview
templates.
2. Browse to a template by choosing categories of
templates from the two title menus (Figure 7).
3. To apply a template, drag the template into the Monitor
panel.
The template is available for editing in the Monitor
panel.
Note: You can also double-click a template to open it in
the Preview window.
4. Modify the title as desired (Figure 8).
