If your video contains some unwanted noise, you can remove the sound of the video before sharing it with friends. In order for this to work properly, you need to create and save your After Effects comp properly.A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth a thousand pictures. Then, either choose Sequence > Match Frame or type F. The “Match Frame feature” means to put your playhead in the Timeline comp clip and select it. Because all changes to the master clip automatically ripple down to the sequence track item instances, any changes are updated in the Program monitor. Use the Match Frame feature to load the master clip into the Source monitor and expose the editable text blocks for revision. To duplicate a template, select the template, then choose Edit > Duplicate.Īdobe notes: If the imported After Effects composition has been edited into a sequence, the Effect Controls panel does not display the editable text (or any other master clip effects). Otherwise, the template acts as a master clip and every time you change the text in the template, every Timeline clip that references that template will also change to match it. If you want to use the same text template more than once in the same sequence – for example, to give all lower-third titles the same animation - you must duplicate the template for each use. NOTE: Text changes are only stored in Premiere. Once you’ve changed the text, you can edit the template into the Timeline sequence.
Each line of text in the comp is a separate line in the Effect Controls panel. Load the comp into the Source Monitor by right-clicking the icon in the Project panel and select Open in Source Monitor.Īt which point, you can change the text associated with this clip in the Effect Controls panel. Before you add it to the Timeline, we need to change the text. The comp now appears in the Project panel.
NOTE: Depending upon the speed and configuration of your computer, Premiere may take several seconds to start the Dynamic Link server before you can select an option and finish the import. In the Import After Effects Composition dialog, select Live Text and click Open. Next, import the Live Text comp which is also stored in the Templates folder. (The snow-clip.mp4 file is stored in the Source folder, inside the Live-Text-Templates folder.)
Otherwise, I as discovered, you get the General Error message you see here.Ĭlose any open projects in Premiere, then, inside the Live-Text-Templates folder which you just downloaded, double-click the Text Template project to open it in Premiere.
In order to use this feature, you must install the 2014 versions of both Premiere Pro and After Effects. NOTE: The ReadMe text included with these sample files says that additional instructions are included in the folder. Once the files download, move them from your Downloads folder to a more convenient location. NOTE: I really expect use of this feature to sky-rocket because it’s perfect for 3rd-party developers to create exciting animations which editors with no design skills, like me, can use inside Premiere.īecause my After Effects skills are, shall we say, somewhat limited, Adobe has provided some demo files that we can play with to learn more about this feature.
This reminds me of the ability Final Cut has had for a while of integrating Motion projects inside Final Cut to provide effects that Final Cut does not support natively. These are After Effects comps which allow you to modify the text in Premiere, without messing up the design or animation and without needing to return to After Effects every time you need to make a text change. Another new feature in the 2014 release of Adobe Premiere Pro CC is Live Text Templates.
