How to WRITE ON TEXT in ADOBE PREMIERE PRO (Great for travel videos & vlogs!)

[@letstart-videoedicaodesign5941]

Alright, guys, gals and else, for all who got STUCK in 3:20, here´s the detail you probably missed on how you actually draw the frame by frame thingy. Let´s go step by step: FIRST; observe in 3:19 how he selects the "Write On" effect bar in Control Effects. It´s really quick, one can almost miss it. That´s how you highlight the cursor to track the matte key. SECOND; the Write On effect DOESN´T step foward the frames automaticaly. So you must move the frames yourself. You can use Right Arrow on your keyboard to advance one frame. Ok, that being said, the actual drawing takes the following pattern: 1) Select Write On bar (important!); 2) Set first key frame; Move cursor to first brush position; 3) Step to next frame with right arrow key; Move cursor to next brush position; (Here´s where you can notice the key frame line forming in the brush!). 4) Step to next frame; Move cursor. 5) And keep repeating. Obs: This is not just for beginners. Pros gets stuck too, I get stuck too sometimes, so don´t feel bad and don´t let anyone make you feel bad. If you are using these effects that means you are way passed the noobie point, so cheers. :)

Did you know how to increase the duration of the write on? I finished the brush stroke but it write very quickly

[@ericmessinger1361]

Thanks GOD you made this note, I could not figure out to advance the freaking Key frame:)

IMPORTANT TIP: To be able to drag the white dot, you have to click the "Write Off" above the brush position. I don't know why he just went over this and it really confused me, thank goodness I found other videos mentioning this.

[@shari_p]

Great tip, it really helped me!

[@elmahdichaker1207]

Thank you. It helped a lot

[@ElijahWLYT]

I agree, this guy also skipped over some hotkeys so I 'm wondering how much he actually knows. For those doubly confused and don't know what "Write off" is, there should be the option to disable write on effect by clicking the tiny FX logo, just play around with that and you'll be able to move the dot.

[@nipzmaitipe4239]

You helped me bro. Cheers mate💥

[@anaisdottavio]

*EASIER LAZY METHOD* (thank you for this video btw I don't want to discredit your hard work) but -- if you have a Canva account ($15/month), you can select one of the very many text templates that they have and export them. Canva gives you plenty of pre-made typing/writing options, here's what you do: 5 minutes tops! Create a blank design --> insert a new text and add your your desired animation to the text --> make the background of the design neon green (like a green screen) --> make the animation as long as you'd like --> download the design as an mp4 file --> in Adobe Premiere, insert the mp4 file and using the Ultra Key effect, remove the green screen (select the dropper in the effects page then click on the green part of the mp4 file to remove it)--> voila! Adjust to your desired position/size

why dont you apply the write on filter directly to the text? what is the point of applying this filter to the video layer? and then masking thru the text layer. is it so you can do more effects on the video layer?

[@missykat2652]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to set the beginning and end key frames for the stroke and then add the individual key frames along the line later? That way you could get a straighter line and it wouldn't be so tedious. Just a thought.

[@Partyvideo]

I do 1:1 exactly what you're doing and in the end I can't see the text. Only a scratch of it

[@itsmemimi1043]

Wow, thank you for sharing video to us 🙏😊.

[@jimvandeven9270]

Is it possible to adjust the thickness while writing over the text? When I try to keyframe the thickness, the whole line gets adjusted. Maybe I'm missing something... I want this effect on a calligraphic font, so on intersecting text lines the stroke width needs to be smaller and/or bigger. Thanks!

you can try keyframing the size of your brush as well as the position

not clear tutorial, i have set the first keyframe and then drag the write on tool it doesnt draw a line

[@cineguac]

You have to set multiple keyframes to create a path. Make sure every time you move the brush, a new key frame is created.

[@ajsphinx]

The next key frame is to be set in the next video frame, So play the video further and place the next point. Or you can just use the arrow key on keyboard to go to the next frame.
