Saving Title Templates in Premiere Pro CS6
Hi all,
Amateur editor here who needs help cretaing a title template in Prrmiere. Hope I am explaining this right. I’ve done this before, and can now go to Title > New Title > Based on Template > and select the lower third template I created.
Problem is, I do not remember how I did this the first time, and what I am seeing online is not what I am looking for. I don’t think I want to create a template and save it as a project. I want to create a template, name it, and have it automatically appear in the Title options like the “Lower Third” one I created does.
Let me know if this makes sense, and if you can help, or point me in right direction. Thanks for your time and information!

It’s actually a very convoluted process…
Open the titler and create the title (or double click on one you want to save)…
click on the “Templates” button up top…
Inside the template interface, on the right side, there is a small, unlabeled button with a pointer that doesn’t stylistically look like any other button in any other window or panel in the entire software package…
Click on this button and pick the utterly counter-intuitive option to “Import” current title as a template (which sounds like it’s coming in from somewhere else, but actually it’s just a “save as a template” function for the title in the canvas at that moment.)
It’s an easy one to forget because it makes so little sense.

Hi Tim,
Hope this message finds you well! I am back at it trying to create a saved template but this time am running into difficulty, though I was able to do it last time! The language you use above doesn’t exactly match what I am seeing. For example, I see no “templates button.”
In Adobe Pre Pro 6, I see a Title tab at top of screen. I can click that and then create a new title by first choosing Default Still, Default Roll, Default Crawl, or “Based on Template.”
If I choose “Based on Template,” I see that little arrow you mentioned, but am not able to click it. Ive tried a few different paths here, but come up empty handed.
Any chance you can provide or point to a clearer step by step tutorial for Adobe Pre Pro 6?
Thanks for your time and info!

I put a more illustrated rundown of the procedure on style4type so I don’t have to type it any more…
It’s not intuitive and an awful lot of people have difficulty figuring it out…
