  • Premiere Pro: animate multiple text layers in video

    Posted by Sharon Linberg on June 3, 2012 at 4:17 pm

    Hello all,
    i would like to insert multiple text into my video; they are to appear/ disappear from one after another. I have like 20 layers of these texts.

    Question:
    do i actually need to drag 20 layers (each) into the timeline to animate?

    Is there a master layer or something whereby these 20 words can exist in 1 layer, then i animate each of them (to appear at different time)?

    Sorry if this question sounds too amateurish, i have just learn PP last week 🙂 & i can’t find tutorials for multiple floating text videos…

    Thank you!

    Sharon

    You´ll need one clip for each text to animate them individually.
    They can be dragged in the same video track sequentially or in upper video tracks (layers as you say) if they appear at the same time. You can copy the animated effects from one clip and paste to all the others (right click in timeline clip, copy, then select all the other clips and “paste attributes”). If the animation for each text clip is different but very similar, then you only need to change the desired parameter in the copied and pasted effect of each clip.

    Regards

    …and once you’re done with your multiple-layered animation, you can highlight the clips and ‘Nest’ them to treat you animation as one clip.
