Awesome! Thanks! What’s the easiest way to creat a text template in PPro?

Thanks for your reply! Basically I have an animated lower third that is designed in After Effects. All the video editors need to do is modify the text. Problem is, the editors are only familiar with Premiere and most have a limited knowledge of Photoshop. I am trying to avoid having an editor go into AE to modify text and save a new file every time he/she needs to place a new lowerthird in Premiere.

Final Cut Studio worked great because I could just create lower thirds in Motion with editable text fields and save them as templates. All an editor has to do is drop the motion template on the timeline and edit the text fields in the motion tab of FCP without having to save each lower third as a separate file or roundtrip between programs.

I’m hoping there is a similar workflow in Adobe. So far, the easiest workflow I can think of is editing the text of the lowerthird in Photoshop and bringing the file into Premiere. But then you have to save each lowerthird as a separate file and when you’re working on long-form projects, this can add up to a lot of files and slows down the workflow.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
