How to Add Text in Premiere Pro

Learn how to add text in Adobe Premiere Pro, from creating a basic title to styling and positioning it over your video. This beginner-friendly tutorial shows you how to use the Type tool, type directly in the Program Monitor, and edit fonts, size, colors, strokes, and shadows with the Properties panel. You'll also learn how to move the text, align it, edit the wording later, and change when the graphic appears or disappears by trimming its timeline clip. We explain why text can vanish even when the footage continues and how to extend its duration. If an older tutorial mentions Essential Graphics, we'll clarify where to find text styling in recent Premiere Pro versions.
