Howto & Style

Introduction

Creating visually appealing subtitle boxes in Adobe Premiere Pro can enhance the overall look of your videos. Here’s a straightforward method to create boxes around your generated subtitles. Follow these step-by-step instructions to easily add a professional touch to your subtitles.

Step 1: Prepare Your Subtitles

Once you have generated your subtitles, the first step is to highlight all of them on your timeline. This allows you to manipulate them as a single group.

Step 2: Adjust the Subtitles Layer

After highlighting your subtitles, drag them up to the next layer in your timeline. This action will separate your text from any other graphics or videos that may be present, making it easier to create a box behind them.

Step 3: Create the Box

Next, select the Rectangle Tool from the tools panel. With this tool, draw a rectangle around your subtitles to create a background box. This graphic layer will serve as the container for your text.

Step 4: Organize Layer Order

Once you have drawn the rectangle, make sure to drag your graphic layer beneath your text layer in the timeline. This will ensure that the subtitles are visible on top of your newly created box.

Step 5: Customize the Box

Now, head over to the Essential Graphics panel. Here, you can customize the appearance of your box. Adjust the corner radius to give it a softer look and choose a fill color that complements your video's theme.

Step 6: Fine-Tune the Box Size

To ensure that your graphic box fits perfectly around your text, zoom in for better precision. You may need to chop up the graphic to achieve a perfect match with your subtitles. Select the graphic layer beneath the text and adjust the edges of the rectangle as necessary to ensure it aligns well with the text.

By following these steps, you will have professionally styled subtitle boxes that enhance the visual presentation of your video. Don’t forget to click that like button and subscribe for more editing tips and tricks!
