Creating Text Effects in Premier

What is the easiest way to create text and effects in Premier Pro CS5.  I just need something simple like in this link:
http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/video_wall#?guid=bda4d9cd-1030-f846-47 2c-b94beeddc342_id1375345

Please help!
Thanks.

Here's a look at the Titler in PrPro, and one of the Titles is Selected. You can see some of the aspects of Titler, and I've shown the drop-down for Gradient Fill, though in my case, I did a very, very light gray. As you can see from the Timeline, there are other things happening, and the Text is actually on another Title, as it gets animated to fly into the area of the Shape, which also has some Fades to it. Still, you should get an idea of what can be done.
You can also see the toolboxes in Titler (to the left of this image) and the Styles Library below.
Hope that helps,

  • Edge Text Effects in Chrome not Working - from Dan Carr / Inspire Mag article

    I've been working with the tutorial in the September issue of Adobe Inspire to create text effects with Edge Animate - see link:
    http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2013/09/edge-text-effects.html
    I can get it to work well in IE and Firefox but nothing much happens in Chrome.
    Anyone any idea where I may be going wrong?
    My problem is with the section specifically relating to using Edge Animate - the other parts of the tutorial work OK in Chrome when using a plain HTML file but I'm interested mainly in adding the text effects to existing Edge compositions.

    Here's an example based on the tutorial - just open in the different browsers to see the problem:
    http://www.wizinnovation.com/edge/boardWithSVG.html
    DDcreams mentions a problem with webkit browsers which I expect is correct - I have no idea where to start to try and fix it though!
    Here's a paste of the edgeActions:
    * Adobe Edge Animate Composition Actions
    * Edit this file with caution, being careful to preserve
    * function signatures and comments starting with 'Edge' to maintain the
    * ability to interact with these actions from within Adobe Edge Animate

  • How to Create the Engraved/Carved Text Effect.

    Hello everyone,
    First I have search the forum for this topic but did  not find it.
    I am looking to create a Carved/Engraved  Text Effect.
    Something like this: http://www.patrickjudson.com/projects/example.jpg
    There are other better examples but basically the text appeared to  be  engraved or carved in the background.
    I have been  struggling to learn this.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for  the help.

    The short answer is to use layer styles which will do a pretty good fake of this effect. If you are looking to actually distort a texture, check out this tutorial: http://www.2morrow.dk/75ppi/3dtext/default.htm (you may substitute KPT3.0 with Photoshops shape burst gradient effect).

  • Whfree can i find my channels in elements 11..i am trying to create a text effect

    I am trying to create a text effect that requires me to make all channel active.  Normally in photoshop i can find the tab near my layers  but they are not there.

    There is no channels palette in Elements.
    You can select channels in the levels command. There is generally a way to do what you want in Elements; can you give more details about what you want to achieve?

  • How can I create a shadow text effect?

    How can I add a blur effect to text on a BufferedImage. I am trying to create a shadow text effect. Here is what I have currently.
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
    Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
    g2d.fill(Rectangle);
    g2d.draw(Rectangle);
    //Shadow text
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
    g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
    shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
    //Main text
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
    g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
    text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);
    I found a blur effect but it affect the whole image not just the shadow. Here is an example.
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
    Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
    g2d.fill(Rectangle);
    g2d.draw(Rectangle);
    //Shadow text
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
    g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
    shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
    Blur filter
    float ninth = 1.0f / 9.0f;
    float[] kernel = {ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth};
    biop = new ConvolveOp(new Kernel(3, 3, kernel));
    op = (BufferedImageOp) biop;
    image = op.filter(image,null);
    //Main text
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
    g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
    text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);

    I thought I answered that question?!
    In your code above, watch out for statement:
    image = op.filter(image,null); The resulted buffered image is new, so you are updating the reference held in variable image.
    Unfortunately variable g2d is still refering to a graphics object back by the original image, so:
    g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
    text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);renders on the first buffered image, not the second.
    Here's my code again, touched up a bit.

  • What Flash Add on software is the best to create amazing text effects and picture animation?

    I'm new to web design but fairly good with Adobe products. I currently have Flash CS4/CS5  but I'm looking for some addon or third party software that I can use to create some great text effects in Flash along with some cool picture effects (spinning around, moving in, pausing, them moving off the screen).
    Any ideas on which suites would be the best?
    Thanks

    mark, patrick, pierre and Longstrider - thankyou - sucess!
    Longstrider- special thanks for your fab run through I knew it couldn't be too tricky... hehe - it really isnt!
    I have got it shaking and mimicked exactly as in the sample vid clip - now i just have to add the randomisation on opacity, and perhaps some graininess to the text (text edging&fill is a bit sharp and clean).
    Once again - thankyou so much!

  • Creating a Text Effect

    Hello there,
    Can anyone help me in making a text effect the same as the
    one located at the top right-hand corner of the following site:
    http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/.
    I would be very greatful if anybody could help.
    Regards,

    Hi Coxdabd
    It's simple two layers animation using motion tween. One
    layer move the text
    slightly and fading it out while th other layer fading the
    text in, also moving
    it slightly. One of the things I love so much about flash,
    simple methods can
    produce interesting results.
    Anyhow, I do understand that visualizing that when you new
    user might be tricky
    so I made quick sample for you.

  • Using After Effects with Premier Pro CS5

    I’m trying to add some text effects over my video, but I’m really stuck right now getting After Effects and Adobe Premier to work together.
    From the tutorials I’ve watched online, I’ve been trying to create a dynamic link between the two programs so I could easily create texts and other effects in AE that immediately show up on my timeline in Premier.  I've been able to create texts, but whatever I create in AE is not showing up on the Premier timeline.  Am I missing a step?  Also, when I load up my sequence into AE, all of the color correcting that I’ve done with Looks inside Premier goes away, and the clips appear as they did right out of the camera.
    Any suggestions would really help.
    Thank you.

    You are seeing normal behavior. When you select footage in a sequence and create an AE comp from that footage the raw footage is used. Once you save the AE project the comp now replaces the footage.

  • Drop Down Text Effects

    Hi there.
    I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.
    Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).
    When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.
    Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?
    The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.
    Thanks very much,
    Craig

    Hi Craig
    All I can say is that the script or whatever simply isn't finding the image if you are viewing from the compiled CHM. When you compile, you need to ensure that everything is in the place it needs to be. For example, maybe you have a folder in your project and you added the image to the folder. But in reality, it's looking for the image in the project root. Because the image is in the folder, it cannot be found.
    I'd suggest a double-check of things just to be certain.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Text Effects for iMovie

    I am looking for some plug-in text effects for iMovie 08, I could settle for iMovie HD 6 or Final Cut Express. Specifically I am looking text bubbles or comic bubbles.
    Can anyone help me in my search?
    Thanks
    Gene

    I am looking for some plug-in text effects for iMovie 08
    iMovie '08 does not currently have a "plug-in" architecture compatible with plug-ins.
    I could settle for iMovie HD 6 or Final Cut Express.
    iMovie HD v6.0.4 is available as a free download to iLife '08 owners.
    Specifically I am looking text bubbles or comic bubbles.
    Such effects are easily created with most graphic applications and can be applied from within iMovie '08.

  • Looking for some good text effects type plugins for CS5 or CS5.5

    I have a website that I am updating and I wanted to create some really cool text effects. The effects are something that I want to create in After Effects to give it the movie effect with sounds, etc.
    What I'm looking for is some add-on software that can boost the text. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
    The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time.  It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
    So how do you get the basics?  You go here.
    ...and if you need this animation in a big hurry, you might want to have a Plan B ready to go.

  • Text Effect Does Not Appear

    I have never encountered this problem before. I wanted to make my copyright watermark more striking, so I created a variation on the relatively well-known "glass" text effect, but the effect will not print, nor will it show up when the file is saved as anything other than a psd. I have tried to rasterize the text, rasterize the layer, and convert it into a smart object; I get nothing. I have exported it to Illustrator, and I get nothing. I have just opened the psd in other programs that read the psd format, and I get nothing: it always just turns out as flat, unaltered text. Even Photoshop won't print anything but the flat text. Save it as something like a jpg, and the result is an image with flat text. I don't have this happen when I do simpler effects: my current watermark is a bevel and emboss with contour and a drop shadow, and it looks perfect; but when I do the more complicated layering to make the glass effect, the result is as if I had done nothing but put text color on it. In fact, the only way I can even show the effect here is via a screen capture from Photoshop CS5, which looks like this:
    It's not a very good rendering of what it looks like in Photoshop, but the screen capture is the only thing I've got.
    The layer effects that were enabled for the image you see are inner shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss. Several other effects I had already turned off.
    Is it the case that some text effects just won't show up? I can't imagine that's the case, since the sites where creating such effects are demonstrated certainly must be exporting the imagery to show it on their sites.
    One last curiosity is that, once I've put in all the layers, I can turn them off one by one, and I get no effect, even when I've turned off effects to the point where I basically have my original watermark style, which looks just fine in print and jpg.
    Does anyone have an explanation for why this is happening. Is it something I'm doing, or is it really that I can't print or present as jpg images some text effects?
    On a techical note, I'm using Photoshop CS5 64-bit in Windows 7 on a very good computer, and my main monitor is not IPS, but it is VA, and is calibrated every two weeks.
    Any help in solving my rather frustrating mystery would be most appreciated.

    I shall herewith provide as much visual information as possible to help you see the work product and its components.
    This is a screen capture of a photograph in which I used the glass effect:
    Next is a capture to show the effect more clearly (a published print would have the opacity of the text layer reduced considerably since it looks rather strong at 100%):
    Next is what happens to the effect when the psd file is converted to JPG. This is also what it looks like as a print straight-away from Photoshop, and it even looks like this in the Print Preview window of Photoshop:
    And finally, below are screen captures of each effect applied to the text layer, followed at the end by the Character set-up:
    I do apologize for the extensive graphics in this post, but I am hopeful that this evidence will be sufficient to provide the answer to my inquiry about why the glass text effect declines every effort to show outside of the Photoshop screen.
