Once you've mastered the basics of editing in Premiere Pro CS6, you're ready to learn how to add titles and text to your video. Adding a title to the beginning of your video is a great way to let your viewers know what you're about to see. Additionally, you can add credits to the end of your video to let your viewers know who else was involved in the creation of your project.

Open your project in Premiere Pro and verify that your scratch disks are set to the correct location by going to Project > Project Settings > Scratch Disks.

To add a title to your project, go to Title > New Title from the main menu bar. There are three options to choose from: Default Still, Default Roll, and Default Crawl. Choose Default Still and you will be taken to a prompt to choose your settings for your new intro title.

Make sure your title has the same settings as the sequence settings for your video. If your video is widescreen, set the width and height to 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels — the standard aspect ratio for that format. Then choose the editing timebase and pixel aspect ratio for your title. The editing timebase is the number of frames per second of your sequence, and the pixel aspect ratio is determined by your source media. If you're unsure about these settings, check them by selecting the Sequence panel and going to Sequence > Sequence Settings from the main menu bar.
