Is there a way to make paragraph text in Premiere Pro?

[designer_shrink]

What I want is to be able to create a text area so anything I type stays within that rectangle. Is that possible?

Absolutely

Its called Area Type Tool in the Legacy Titler

and..god only knows what,  in the dogs breakfast called Captions and Graphics.

Be a sad day for me that the Legacy Titler dissapears into the Adbobe vacuum called Feature Creep!!!!!

I'm new to Premier Pro so can't speak to the Titler features but I really HATE some of the changes they've made to Photoshop recently. So I get it.

I must say I was not happy about the legacy titler being replaced. But now I am working quite a bit with the new Ess. Graphics I am liking it more and more. Especially in the Beta, they just added a new mask feature.

As noted above, simply drag/drop a bounding text box.

The EGP has two text modes: box and point.

Drag a box, your text is auto-wrapped within the box.

Or simply click on the screen and start typing, your text appears from that point in a line.

They have different animation implications that it's probably best to experiment with to learn and understand.

Select the T(ype) tool and draw a box in the program window.

Oh gosh, I should have thought of that!!! Thank you so much.      🙂

Is there any way to convert a point text to paragraph text after the fact? You can do this in After Effects (even though its an esentially hidden feature) but I have been clicking around for 5 min and can't find a way to do it in the essential graphics panel.

Copy then paste into a text box ... I don't think there's a way to convert them.
