Premiere Elements 2020 add multiple subtitles

[triumph1200]

Hi,

I am trying to add multiple simple subtitle style texts to a video. The first problem is, it seems to place the text on different layers with little rhyme nor reason (Is there a way to stop that?). The first idea was to manually create the first subtitle and then copy/paste that for styling and position but that changes all the other subtitles to the newly edited text (WHY?).

Is there a way to create/copy a template so I don't have to attempt to position the text and reset all the setting every single time I want a simple text?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Duplicate your titles in the Project Assets box.  It may help to keep track if you rename them.  Then slide the title to a track above your clip.  Edit it and move it as needed.

Bill's point is right on. If you copy and paste, you will create a clone of your title. But if you right-click on the title in the Project Assets panel and select Duplicate, you will create a separate duplicate which you can reuse as a template.

Greeting I need to do subtitles for a video in Premier Elements. I see the suggestion to put this text in the Project assets box. In what format can you do that? PP, word, PP saved as JPG. Help? Many thanks, Tom

This is a very old thread, Tom (6 years old!). I'd recommend you create a new thread so your question can get the attention it deserves.

I have the same problem, I duplicate, rename and continue to see the previous subtitle even if I have the new text ... reboot premiere and the new text appears. Crazy!
