Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac) to go down a line.
18
Click the Selection tool, and change the size and shape of the bounding box.
The text does not change size. Instead, it adjusts its position on the bounding 
box baselines. If you make the box too small for all your text, the extra text 
scrolls below the bottom edge of the bounding box. In that case, a small plus 
sign (+) appears near the lower-right corner outside the bounding box.
19
Double-click within the text to edit it.
20
Switch to the Selection tool, click anywhere in the text bounding box, and press 
Delete to remove the text.
Vertical text
While you’re testing your text, try the vertically oriented Vertical Type tool and 
Vertical Area Type tool. They create text with each character standing on top of the 
next one.
Putting text on a path
The Path Type tool is both elegant and tricky. It enables you to build paths that are 
simple or complex, or that are straight or curved, for your text to follow.
If you’ve worked with the Pen tool in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, you 
know how to use the Path Type tool. You define a path by creating a number of 
points in the Titler panel and dragging handles at each point to define curves. 
Here’s how it works in Adobe Premiere Pro:
1
Continue with the same title opened for the previous exercise, or start a new 
title. Select the Path Type tool.

LESSON 7
Creating Dynamic Titles
2
Click three different points in the Titler panel to form a triangle.
3
Click the Convert Anchor Point tool.
4
Click the Convert Anchor Point tool over the center point of your triangle (your 
pointer changes to a black arrow), and drag to the right to create anchor point 
handles. The longer the handle, the more the angle will flatten to a curve.
Try making the handles longer or shorter, or just move them around to see how 
they work.
