how can i make a subtitle with flowing color?

[Mike Velte]

It is bit more tedious to do this in Premiere than After Effects but can be done.

1. Make 2 versions of a single line title, one white and one blue.
2. Put the white title in V3 and the blue just below in V2, align perfectly.
3. Apply a 4 point garbage matte to the title in V3. Position the CTI at frame 1 of the titles.
4. Toggle animation for the Top Left and Bottom left corners of the garbage matte.
5. Page Down to the first frame of the next edit point and then arrow back one frame to the last frame of the titles.
6. Set the value for the 2 corners to 720.

That is the simple version. Controlling the timing of the color change to the song involves changing the duration of both titles AND additional keyframes to the left corners of the garbage matte.

Should take you about 18 hours work the first time and as you get better, a bit less.
