Captioning can be as excitingly creative a challenge for video hobbyists as producing the video itself. In professional circles, captions are created by specially trained designers and artists. Thanks to modern technology, you can create titles for your movie or clip at home.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - Adobe Premier Pro;
- - Adobe After Effect;
Instructions
Step 1
Open the video for which you are going to create titles in Adobe Premier Pro. Post it to the Timeline. Use the slider to select where the credits should appear. Include an additional video track (above the video track). This is where you will place the created credits.
Step 2
Open the title creation window (File, New, Title). If you have already worked with titles in other programs, for example, in Photoshope, it will be much easier for you to figure it out. In Adobe Premier Pro, you can create animated titles and add all kinds of effects to them.
Step 3
Enter the title text “in the text box”. Choose the font size you want. Make sure the size is proportional to the screen. You can make the title slightly larger, and make the date and place of the video smaller.
Step 4
Choose a font that matches the general content of the movie stylistically. If you're reporting, use standard print fonts. If this is a video clip, you can test different types of fonts. There are special programs that allow you to create fonts yourself.
Step 5
Choose a color scheme. Focus on the content, style of the film itself. Make sure that the title is not lost in the picture. To do this, choose the most contrasting color for decoration. Light text on a dark background and vice versa. If the picture on which you want to install the font is variegated - use yellow. It is usually visible on any background.
Step 6
Consider the placement of titles within the frame. Do not overlay a title over other captions (if they are present in the image). Do not cover the faces of people appearing in the video with captions. It is best to place titles at the bottom or top of the screen.
