justify title in Premiere 1.5

[Steven L. gotz]

You might have to do it manually. Each line can be kerned separately, as can each space between words. Neither Premiere Pro or After Effects was designed to justify text.

Thank you Steven.
But how do I kern each space between words? Is there a way to format a whole paragraph, or do I really have to go on each space and kern? Sorry, I’m a bit lost in this thing…

Select each space is the only way I know of. Unless you are so close to hitting both edges that you can select the entire line and kern everything on the line to fit. But it will not be easy.

Why in the world do you need to justify text?

Perhaps you should be using Photoshop to create the text. Photoshop can justify text once it is converted to paragraph text instead of point text. But be careful when doing so. You may need to soften the edges, and perhaps have a soft shadow. Avoid pure black or pure white.

Thanks Steven.
I’m subtitling, and I simply like “justified” subtitles.
Any good tips on subtitling plugins or some tips on subtitling with Premiere….
Best regards,

If I were subtitling, I would do it in After Effects because you can animate the text parameter. Not just the look of the text, but the actual words. So you keyframe when each new sentence shows up. Pretty simple.

Select the shortest line and kern that to the longest line length. Can look a bit strange if the line lengths are too disparate but otherwise works well.

Looks real nice for big graphics also.
