Creating Titles
Setting up the Title window
The Title window provides ways to help position titles accurately. For example, if you plan
to superimpose the title over a clip, you can import a frame from the clip for positioning.
Importing a sample frame
When you import a frame from a clip (or still image), the frame functions only as a positioning
aid for title type and graphics and is not actually included in the title clip. You can use any color
from the sample frame by using the eyedropper tool ( ). By default, Premiere uses the first
frame in the clip (or for a QuickTime clip, the poster frame if one was defined), but you can
specify which frame to use by setting marker 0 (zero) in the clip. See “Using markers” on
page 153.
To import a sample frame for positioning:
1
Do one of the following:
•
If a project is already open, double-click any clip in the Project window.
•
If no project is open, choose File > Open, locate the video clip or still image file you want
to use as a reference, and then click OK.
2
In the clip, go to the frame you want to use for title positioning.
3
Choose Clip > Set Marker > 0. This specifies the frame Premiere uses for the Title window
and also for the clip’s icon in the Project, Sequence, and Bin windows.
