A method for highlighting \/ colouring certain words in Premiere Pro<\/strong>\u00a0using Live Text templates<\/strong> from After Effects<\/strong>. Very useful for the current trend seen in\u00a0Facebook<\/strong> feeds where subtitles, or overlaid text, is required to attract attention.<\/p>\n

Live Text templates<\/h2>\n

Adobe After effects has a neat feature which allows you to dynamically edit a comp\u2019s text in Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n

This is highly useful if you are making custom Lower Thirds<\/strong> animations, it saves you a ton of time when using several instances as you can just add your text directly in Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n

Colouring Select\u00a0Words<\/h2>\n

I was working on a recent project (can be seen below)\u00a0where I made a simple animated Lower Thirds text system. I exported the comp from After Effects as a template, all good.<\/p>\n

But I wanted to be able to change the colour of certain words within the sentences to add some emphasis. There is no built-in way to do this yet (Adobe: please implement this), but I created a method that works quite well. It\u2019s by no means perfect and takes a bit of effort, but does the job well.<\/p>\n
