Hey,
I have edited my home movie in Premiere. It's a basketball game. I want to add the score at the bottom after baskets are scored and the action is heading back up the floor, a la, regular TV broadcasts. Any quick Ideas? I can't figure out this whole title thing.
Here's the tough question. At the end of the game, after I fade to black, I want to fade back in to a stat sheet with each players game stats, points, shots, fouls, etc. It's easy enough to do in Excel, but I can't seem to get anywhere going that route. I have photoshop, but no real idea how to do the text thing there. In Premiere, I tried to type in a test page, but I never figured out how to save it or anything. Is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks a LOT!

There are a lot of ways you can do this. It all depends on wich way you want to go. I do my son's football videos and I put in a score bug in the upper left corner that shows the teams, the date, and the score. I made the score bug in Photoshop, then imported the psd with transparent layer into Premiere. Then I set the transparency to white alpha matte. I put it over the video track and adjusted the alpha channel to fade it in and out.
If you want to just use a tittle, then click File > New > Tittle. Type your tittle and set it as Lower 3rd. That will center it in the lower part of the screen.

Thanks Racer-X.
I have photoshop 6.0. Unfortunately, I never really learned how to use it, and what you describe would be an almost impossiblity for me at this point without a LOT of reading and studying.
What you describe is exactly what I want to do. Unfortunately, I don't have the photoshop know-how to do it. Ack. In Premiere, the HELP section says to press T for text and such, and I don't even have that option. I don't know what the hell. Then I try the title thing, and it never lets me save it or move the title to a track or anything.
At this point, what should I do? Spend 4-6 hours figuring out Photoshop, or the same hours configuring the title in Premiere? Where would my time be best spent do you think?
Any help is greatly appreciated! -
When you create a title in Premiere and save it - it should appear in your media bin - you then drag this to video track 2 or greater
you should also be able to drag the title from the title work area to the same place on the video tracks
Titles are automatically matted and anti-aliased -
Quite honestly, I think your time will be better spent @ www.wrigleyvideo.com
You can download Premiere Tutorials for version 6, 6.5 and Pro. They are video tutorials that will teach you a lot. Just download them and watch them. There is a tutorial just on Tittles that will explain everything you need to know.Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........
