  • (upbeat music)

  • - [Nick] In this movie, we're going to take a look at

  • creating a lower third similar to this right inside

  • of Adobe Premiere Pro using shapes

  • as well as different types of fonts.

  • Awesome. I'm just going to press the escape key to exit.

  • And with my type tool selected, I'm going to click.

  • That creates a new graphic clip, just on top of it.

  • I'm going to type in "Eugene," followed by "Draw."

  • I'm going to take this overall text, make it a lot bigger.

  • Then I'm going to select the default selection tool

  • and start to position this roughly where I want it

  • in the frame.

  • I want the second part of the text

  • or, "Draw", his last name,

  • to actually be a semibold font.

  • And the first part here,

  • in particular, to be that of light.

  • I'll then select the default selection tool, move it over.

  • We can now start to create the additional elements

  • that make up this text.

  • One thing is the "performer" text

  • which is going to appear just above it.

  • But we're going to use a different font for that.

  • One way to set this up,

  • is I'm actually going to right click this existing text

  • and choose to duplicate it.

  • I'll move this duplicate text just above it.

  • And if I wanted to be precise,

  • I could actually use the align and transform properties

  • and just drag on the Y value.

  • Let's double click the entire text and type in "performer,"

  • making sure that's also all in caps.

  • I want this to be quite a bit smaller.

  • I want to select the overall text, and then bring it down.

  • Just noticing that it's happening

  • from the lower left hand side.

  • If you're having trouble seeing this, keep in mind,

  • go to your fit section of the window

  • which is fitting the video to this,

  • and then just make it 75%.

  • Where you can then grab the hand tool

  • and really focus in on how the text is aligning up here.

  • A really handy tool is to select text.

  • And then if you hold down the commander control key

  • followed by the left and right arrows,

  • you can nudge your text into place.

  • This is looking pretty good,

  • but this isn't the font that we want to use.

  • From the text section,

  • let's actually go to the dropdown arrow

  • and add a font from Adobe Fonts.

  • Clicking on the cloud icon right here.

  • That will launch you to Adobe Fonts.

  • I've got a few of those windows open up here.

  • I'm actually just going to press okay to close them.

  • And I'm going to type in S-I-G-N-O,

  • which is signo for the top family results.

  • Currently, that's also available on Adobe Fonts.

  • I noticed that all different cases and weights of that font

  • are currently saved to my system

  • with this little blue icon right here.

  • And that's all possible

  • because I logged into creative cloud.

  • Since I have that,

  • I can easily select this from the text list.

  • I'll head down to that section to find that font,

  • and make sure that a regular case

  • is currently selected for it.

  • That's looking great.

  • Let's zoom out, we'll fit to the window.

  • And we want to have a box

  • that's going to be behind this performer text.

  • So I'll do that by right clicking and adding a new layer.

  • It will be a rectangle layer.

  • We'll make sure that that rectangle has a fill, no stroke.

  • And with the actual default selection tool,

  • I'll drag it and position it roughly to be the same size

  • as our "performer" text.

  • I'll then drag that shape, placing it underneath it

  • and get even clearer in terms of its size.

  • You might want to go back and bring this back to 75%,

  • using that hand tool again.

  • With the default selection tool we can see the bounding box

  • and how that shape is being formed around

  • the "performer" text.

  • I'm going to now zoom out from 75% to 50%.

  • On my toolbar select the pen tool.

  • We're going to create a simple line shape

  • just consisting of a stroke.

  • So, first of all, I'm going to click to add a point.

  • That's going to create a new point, shape zero two.

  • I'll turn off the fill and add a red stroke.

  • Using the hand tool temporarily,

  • I'll just click and drag here over to the side,

  • even though that first point has been created.

  • Hop back to my pen tool now.

  • And right around here, I'll try to create the first point.

  • I'm just going to be very careful of how I create that point

  • and also, to make sure that it's as aligned

  • and straight as possible

  • to the first point that I created.

  • I'll then click and drag create another point right here,

  • click off, and then try to straighten this.

  • Using my hand tool temporarily, just to sort of move back,

  • select the pen tool.

  • And then right around where the E ends

  • and pretty much aligned with that third point I just created

  • I'll create that third point.

  • (indistinct) off for a second, and then drag it

  • to make it as straight as possible.

  • I'll then take a look at this overall shape

  • with this fit to the window,

  • to see if that's roughly the same type of line

  • that I had with the previous shape.

  • With this tool still selected,

  • just drag these points a little bit down,

  • the third and fourth point created,

  • just to add a bit more space there.

  • Now I will go back to my default selection tool.

  • I will drag out this specific text.

  • Let me select the text.

  • And what I'd like to animate together,

  • happens to be the "Eugene Draw" text,

  • the first shape, the black square and the "performer" text.

  • I'll select all of them by clicking and shift clicking

  • and then group them all as one object.

  • I'll then rename shape number two, just call it "line".

  • I'll even rename shape number one, I'll call it "rectangle."

  • Now the important thing with the group

  • here that I have selected, is its anchor point.

  • And you'll see here, it's at the center of the group.

  • I'll take that and actually pivot it

  • to the upper left hand corner of my rectangle.

  • 'Cause this is going to act as

  • all the elements of this group to scale from.

  • With the line itself,

  • if I start to play around with the scale of the object

  • I can sort of see that the pivot point

  • is at middle of the object, which is fine.

  • Since that's the first thing I want to animate,

  • I'll move to the one second mark in my timeline

  • and under effect controls,

  • let's take a look at the properties of that line.

  • Where it says scale,

  • I'm going to make sure the scale is not uniform.

  • Just to separate the vertical and horizontal scale.

  • And let's add a key frame for both horizontal and vertical.

  • I'll move my playhead to the beginning of the timeline.

  • Just even if I start to play with the vertical scale

  • a little bit you can sort of see

  • one way that we can animate this object on.

  • Creates a little interesting animation too,

  • with the way that this grows.

  • It's rather linear.

  • But you can always select those key frames.

  • Right or control click it,

  • and then just choose to create a little bit more easing

  • on that animation.

  • To do that even further,

  • I'll zoom in so we can see those key frames.

  • And under the vertical scale,

  • select the last one

  • and actually just play around with this graph

  • which will control how it eases in,

  • making it even smoother there at the end.

  • I'll actually move to the 15 frame mark,

  • which is where I want to set up

  • the remaining parts of this group.

  • I want this to scale up in size.

  • I'll close down the shape line one,

  • just to make this neater here.

  • And under the group one's properties,
