Adobe Premiere pro is one of the best video editting software in world. Lots of video effects we can creat using this software.
Now we are gonig to show how to do the typewriter effect in your videos using Adobe Premiere pro.

Once we've loaded up Adobe Premiere pro we want to begin by creating a new black video and then we're just gonig to drag that onto the sequence and we're just going to extend that out and the purpose of this is just to create a background. So we're gonig to effects and we're just search for tint. We'll drag that on top of the black video layer and in effect controls we're just turn the black into white and this is just going to give us a white background through out this.
So from here we just want to go back into our project and we want to creat a new lagacy title. We can rename that to typewriter effects or type whatever you like and inside of the title window we want to begin by creating a new text layer. So we're just going to select text and type in something which you want. Now once you've completed typing whatever you want to animate. You just want to go and change your font and then you just want to change the font size and change the color. Change this to black that's so it stands out on the white background. Adjust the font size and we're just gonna center this and then once you're happy with that we can close this window down and then we can drag that into the sequence on top of that white background. Now in the effects tab we want to search for linear wipe and drag that on top of the text layer. Now in linear wipe if we pull across the transition completion. You can see that this is the wrong way. This is back to front. So we're going to change the wipe angle to 270 degrees. You will adjust the transition completion up to 100% and creat a brand new key frame at the very beginning. We'll scroll to the end of those five seconds and we'll pull this down to 0%. Now if you play this back you can see that the text is now scrolling on but it's a little bit too slow. It doesn't quite look believable. So we're just going to speed this up a little bit by pulling back on the keyframe. This may take a while and you may have to keep adjusting this to get it right. But once it's ready we can throw another black video layer on top of the footage. You know from the scale and we're gonna adjust the width to naught point three and the height we're just going to pull that down to its slightly larger than the text. So in this example we'll pull it down to around 10% and then we just adjust the position all the way across to the left of the text. Now we'll scroll across all the way to the very beginning where the text animates on and create a new keyframe on the position. We'll scroll to the very end and again we'll create a new keyframe and we'll readjust the position of this to the end. Now as you can see the text is slightly ahead of that line and we need the line to be ahead of the text. So you may just have to adjust that keyframe. This may take some time but make sure that you get this perfect because want this to look good. So there you go the line is now traveling with the text and all that we need to do to finish this effect off to add a blinking effect to the cursor that's the line. So now you want to go over to up opacity and pull this down to 0%. Then you want to scroll across four frames and adjust this to 100% selecting a new kayframe scroll across another four frames and pull this back down to zero. Now you want to copy these three keyframes and you want to paste them onto that end keyframe. We'll redo this again. So we'll copy all of the keyframes paste them onto the last keyframe and then we'll just keep repeating this over and over again untill the text has keyframes throughout the entire duration of the effects. So now that we have all of those keyframes in place we can drag this back to the very beginning and now as you can see the cursor is blinking the text is typing on and that is the typewriter effect and now complete.
