Adding a title to a project
When you’ve completed and saved a title, moving it from the Title window to a project is as
easy as dragging. The title becomes a clip in the project, using the original title file as its source.
If you imported a frame from a clip or a still image to use as a sample (see “Importing a sample
frame” on page 234), it will not be part of the title when you add the title to a project. If you
want to add a title that isn’t currently open, import it the same way you would any other clip;
see “Importing clips” on page 120.
If you want the title to be opaque and edited into the video program among other clips, just
add it to Timeline track Video 1A or 1B the way you would any other clip. If you want to display
the title over another clip, you must add the title to a superimposition track and change trans-
parency options in Premiere. When you move a title from the Title window into the project,
empty and semi-transparent areas of the title are automatically converted into an alpha
channel, which marks transparent and semi-transparent areas. For Premiere to use the alpha
channel, you must and apply the proper key (see “Using keys for composites and superim-
posing” on page 263). Then any mattes or clips on lower tracks will be visible under the title.
To add a title to a project:
1 Save the title.
2 Make sure no type or objects are selected in the Title window.
3 Open the project to which you want to add the title.
4 Starting from an empty area of the Title window, drag to the Project window or Timeline.
If you accidentally drag one object instead of the entire title, release the mouse, choose Edit >
Undo if necessary, hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS), and then drag the
Title window to the Project window or Timeline.
