t Paragraph (area) text : You set the size and shape of
the text box before entering text. Changing the box size later displays more or
less text but does not change the shape or size of the text.
t Text on a path : You build a path for the text to follow by clicking points in the
text screen to create curves and then adjusting the shape and direction of those
curves using the handles.
Selecting a tool from the left or right side determines whether the text will orient
horizontally or vertically.
Because Adobe Premiere Pro automatically saves text to the project file, you can
switch to a new or different title and not lose whatever you’ve created in the cur-
rent title. That’s what you’ll do now:
1 Open the Lesson 07-02.prproj project.
2 To open the New Title dialog, choose File > New > Title, or press Ctrl+T
(Windows) or Command+T (Mac OS).
3 Type
Castle Room in the Name box, and click OK.

Note: Adobe
Premiere Pro CS5 allows
you to have sequences
with different video
attributes, so the New
Title dialog allows you
to create the title with
different frame sizes
and aspect ratios. It
defaults to the settings
of the active sequence.
Because the settings
you want to use for the
title are the same as the
active sequence, leave
these settings at the
defaults.
