How can we Cut and Paste text from a document to a new title?  I need to make many wordy title cards in Premiere Pro CC Essential Graphics, how can I cut and paste the text from a word document in to a new title?  So that I dont have to retype all the text.  Surley there is way, I just can't find it.

Thank you!

Copy/paste is the way to go.

copy text (ctrl+C),

Hit T in Premiere and click on program window,

Paste (ctrl+V).

Cannot get any simpler than that.

 

Cut and paste works in the same way.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro v23 (Mac OS Monterey) with 128gb memory, 32TB server, and 1TB SSD drive. Sorry, Ann, but this absolutely does NOT work, not with the Title Tool creating a blank text window, nor in the Essential Graphics panel if you wish to update an existing text window.  Anyone have any ideas on this?  I'm working on a documentary with lots of text cut/paste with titles and this is a real workflow killer.

I've done exactly what Ann describes hundreds of times, without any trouble.

 

I typically work with the text box in Pr, so the whole process is:

 

  • create text box in the Program monitor via T tool, click/drag to make the box.
  • move to other app, copy the text ...
  • back in Premiere, click in the text box where I want to add the text ...
  • Ctrl/V to paste the text in place.

I've never had any issues whatever with that.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
