    So, I want to record an video where my camera points to an car and a bit of movement and my hand in video. And I want to put an text to hood of car, like logo or text but to be like realistic and fixed to look like it is warped to hood. It would be best if you know an tutorial that is avalible on internet, because I couldnt find it…

    Hey aleksander

    Follow these step-by-step .

    1. Import your video clip into Premiere Pro by selecting File > Import and navigating to the file on your computer.

    2. Drag the video clip to the timeline in the bottom panel of Premiere Pro.

    3. Create a new text layer by selecting Layer > New > Text. Type the text you want to appear on the moving object.

    4. Use the “Selection” tool (the arrow icon) to position the text layer where you want it to appear on the object.

    5. Select the text layer and click on the “Effect Controls” tab in the top left panel of Premiere Pro.

    6. Locate the “Opacity” setting under the “Motion” category and click on the stopwatch icon to create a keyframe at the beginning of the clip.

    7. Move the playhead to the point in the clip where you want the text to stop moving.

    8. Use the “Selection” tool to adjust the position of the text layer, so that it is positioned correctly on the moving object at this point.

    9. Adjust the “Opacity” setting to 0% at this point in the clip, using the slider or by typing “0” into the value box.

    10. Move the playhead to the end of the clip and adjust the “Opacity” setting back to 100%, creating another keyframe.

    11. Use the “Selection” tool to adjust the position of the text layer, so that it is positioned correctly on the object at the end of the clip.

    12. Preview your clip to make sure the text moves along with the object.

    13. Export your finished video by selecting File > Export > Media and choosing the appropriate settings for your desired output.

    I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
