When the Composition Settings window open, select “Advanced.” Check “Template (unlocked text layers editable in Premiere Pro)” and press OK.Īnd that’s it - this composition is now editable in Premiere Pro CC. To get started, open your After Effects composition open and go to Composition > Composition Settings.

Here’s a rundown of how it works.įor this tutorial, I’ll be using the composition I created for my post on How to Create Lower Thirds in AE. It’s also available only for versions CC 2014 and up. But for some simple revisions, this works very well. However, take note that for the time being, this feature only allows you to change the text, so you won’t be able to modify the font, text size, colors, or alignment just yet. And lastly, you can easily duplicate Live Text Templates so you can use them again and again inside your project. Secondly, revisions are much faster, because you don’t have to call your motion designer just to correct a misspelling. Why is this important? Firstly, it allows anyone with only limited knowledge in AE to quickly modify existing compositions.

Live Text Templates allow you to edit text in an AE composition within Premiere Pro without affecting the existing design and animation. It allows Premiere Pro to import AE compositions without rendering them first, and with the release of Live Text Templates, this became even better. Adobe’s Dynamic Link is by far one of the best features that Premiere Pro and After Effect have to offer.
