Introduction

Are you ready to create an eye-catching video title intro in Premiere Pro? In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you can achieve a professional look. Let's get started!

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

First, make sure you have your footage imported into Premiere Pro. Once you're set, follow these directions:

1. Right-click in the project panel and select New Item > Color Matte. Adjust the settings to fit your sequence requirements and hit OK.
2. Choose a color for your matte – for this example, we'll go with red. Click OK twice to finalize.
3. Drag the newly created color matte to your timeline.
4. Drag your footage onto the timeline above the color matte.

Step 2: Create Your Text

Next, we’ll add text for your title:

1. Go to the Graphics tab and click the Type Tool (or press T on your keyboard).
2. Set the view to 25% for easier management. Click and drag to create a text box that's large enough for your text, ensuring nothing gets cut off when zoomed in.
3. Type your desired text (e.g., your movie title).
4. Select the text in the Essential Graphics panel and make adjustments as desired, including scaling and centering.

Step 3: Add Track Matte Key Effect

To make your text dynamic while incorporating the footage:

1. Click on the Effects tab and search for Track Matte Key. Drag this effect onto your footage in the timeline.
2. For the color matte, scroll down to Effect Controls, select Track Matte Key, and change Matte to Video 3.
3. Then, apply Track Matte Key to the drum footage as well, selecting Matte to Video 3.

Step 4: Adjust Opacity

To create a fade effect:

1. Select the color matte layer, navigate to Opacity, and click the stopwatch to set it to 100.
2. Move the time marker forward by 20 frames and change opacity to 0.
3. Without moving the time marker, select your footage and repeat the process, starting from 100 and changing opacity to 0 at the beginning.

This will allow your footage to fade in while the color fades out simultaneously.

Step 5: Animate the Text

It's time to make your text zoom:

1. Under the Effects tab, find the Basic 3D effect and drag it onto your text layer.
2. To animate, make sure the Basic 3D effect is above the text in your Effects Control panel.
3. Click the stopwatch for Distance to Image and set the starting position.
4. Under the text tab, expand Transform and set a keyframe under Position.
5. Adjust the Distance to Image to zoom in and finalize your text animations.
