Setting Up Your Project for Motion Graphics
In Premiere, after opening a new project, you’ll want to create a sequence and set up your sequence settings. Throughout this article, we’ll be using an example graphic, but keep in mind there are many ways to do things in Premiere, as in any editing software. So feel free to experiment with any of these steps. ..
- Choose your camera.
- Choose your lens.
- Choose your settings.
- Shoot! ..
We’ll choose the Standard 48kHz option under DV – NTSC, since that’s what we used to film.
After selecting your sequence settings, name your sequence and select OK. The new sequence will appear in your timeline and in your Project panel.
Now that you have your graphic, it’s time to add some text. You can use any font you like, and the Essential Graphics panel will give you a range of colors and animations to choose from. You can also add in your logo if you want.
Next, we’ll show you how to add in your own graphic, such as a logo. First, create a new document in your word processing program and name it “Logo.doc”. Next, open the document and paste the following code into the first column:
Now that you have your logo created, it's time to add it to your website! To do this, you'll need to create a new page in your website's template and name it "LogoPage". In the "Title" field of the page's header, enter "LogoPage":

Open the text editor of your choice and create a new line of text.
Type the following into the text editor:
Click on the ellipsis (…) to add a graphic animation to the text.
Choose an animation type from the drop-down list and click on the OK button to add it to the text.
Click on the animated text to open its properties.
Under “Animation Type,” select “Animated Text.”
Click on the “Animation” tab and choose a timing option.
Click on the “Start” button to begin the animation. ..
Drag and drop the text into your timeline. You can click on the sample text to add your own text.
To open the Effect Controls, click on the Animation button in the toolbar and select Effect Controls from the menu.
In the Effect Controls, you can use the Keyframes tool to edit animations. To create a new keyframe, click on the + button at the bottom of the panel and enter a value in the Keyframe field. To edit an existing keyframe, double-click on it or select it and enter new values in the fields below it.
You can also use the Timeline tool to edit animations. To create a new timeline segment, click on the + button at the bottom of the panel and enter a value in the Segment field. To edit an existing timeline segment, double-click on it or select it and enter new values in its fields below it. ..
Animate and Customize Your Graphic
There are a few different ways you can go about animating a graphic. First, you can download presets to get effects by simply adding them to your project. Or, you can use Effect Controls to animate graphics yourself. This section will go over both methods.
To add a preset to your project:
Open the Project Settings dialog box.
In the Project Settings dialog box, click on the Add/Remove Component button.
In the Add/Remove Component dialog box, select the File Format tab and then click on the Browse button.
In the Browse button, select .jpg from the file list and then click on OK.
The Add/Remove Component dialog box will now be empty and you can close it by clicking on OK again.
In the Effects panel, click on the preset you’d like to use and drag it onto your graphic clip.
In the Effects Controls settings, you’ll be able to adjust the specific effects of your preset. You can do this by changing the values of each effect to get the outcome you want.
To create an animated effect, you can use Effect Controls in Photoshop. This graphic will show you how to do a simple size increase animation. ..
Now, move the timeline cursor to the point where you want the animation to end and set the Scale value to the largest size you want it to be. A new keyframe will automatically be set. ..
The animation will happen automatically as the video moves from one set keyframe to the next. You can change these keyframes or effect values however you want until you achieve your desired effect.
Now, play your video back to ensure that the animation looks the way you’d like. If so, you can export your project. If you wish, you can also try editing your graphic in Adobe After Effects to get even more control over how it looks.
