In this lesson, I will show you how to create graphics in Adobe Premiere Pro. There are various ways to create graphics, and we will take a deeper look at each way to do that. Let's get started. So the first and most basic way to create a graphic is simply using the text tool. In Adobe Premiere, you'll look for the type tool here, or you can hit the T on the keyboard, which is the shortcut, and then you would see that this icon pops up so that you can create a graphic. Now, using the title tool, the only way to actually make it work is to click in your program monitor here. And once you do, then it will pop up there. And you'll already notice on the left side in your effect controls panel that you're getting some options there to do various things with the position, scale, rotation, and opacity and other things that you can customize later. But for this one, we're just going to do a simple text to show you how it appears on the screen. And so all you have to do is, once this box is there, you'll see that there's a cursor, and you simply type what you want. So now that you have that there, you can move it around with the various motion options as well as you can scale up and scale down. If you go into your effects control and to the text portion, then here you can change your font to what you want it to go to as well as the thickness of it. You can also do a bit of vector motion as well once you have created your text there. One other way that you can create a will delete this so that I can show you the other way. So you'll want to go to the graphics workspace, and so you do so by going to there. And this gives you more options. It brings up the essential graphics panel here on the right side. And so by deleting that, the graphic is actually still there. So to delete it completely, then you would just delete it from your timeline and now it's gone. So now you're in your essential graphics, and you can certainly use one of the templates that's already available to you. But for this one, we're going to show you two different ways to do this. So you can go to New Layer here and you can do text or vertical text. That gives you a couple of different options to do it. So to do the vertical one, then you'll see that it is typing vertical instead of horizontally. And so it also gives you something that's pre-built in there so that you can see that it is motioning North and South versus East to West. So you change that and then it would go vertical instead. And so one other thing you can do is we'll delete this out. And as you noticed, the other way is to do just a regular text and it pops up there. And then if you can move it over, then you would be able to change that to what you need to change it to. And the next lesson I will show you a deeper look into customizing your text. Thanks for watching.
