How to Use Adobe Stock Templates in Premiere Pro

Adobe Stock is a library of high-quality stock photos, graphics, videos, and templates that can be used to enhance your videos in Premiere Pro. It’s a powerful tool for saving time and effort while creating visually stunning and engaging videos.

Prerequisites

  1. Adobe Premiere Pro: Ensure you have Adobe Premiere Pro installed on your computer.
  2. Adobe ID: You need an Adobe ID to access Adobe Stock and the Adobe Stock templates. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you can create one for free.
  3. Internet Connection: You’ll need an active internet connection to access Adobe Stock and download the templates.

Step 1: Open Premiere Pro and Sign In to Adobe Stock

  1. Launch Premiere Pro and open your project or create a new one.
  2. In the top navigation bar, click the Window menu and select Essential Graphics. This will open the Essential Graphics panel.
  3. In the Essential Graphics panel, click the Browse tab and then select the Adobe Stock tab.
  4. Sign in to your Adobe Stock account using your Adobe ID and password. If you haven’t already, sign up for a free account.

Step 2: Search and Preview Templates

  1. In the Adobe Stock panel, enter keywords or phrases in the search bar to find the type of templates you’re looking for. For example, if you’re looking for a template for a product demo video, you might search for “product demo” or “product launch.”
  2. Use the filters to narrow down your search results. You can filter by category, media type, license type, and other criteria.
  3. Preview templates by clicking on their thumbnails. You can also hover over a thumbnail to see a brief description and license information.

Step 3: Import and Apply Templates

  1. Click on the template you want to use to preview it in full-screen mode.
  2. Click the Apply button to import the template into your Premiere Pro project.
  3. The template will be added to the Essential Graphics panel. Drag and drop the template from the Essential Graphics panel onto the Timeline.
  4. The template will be applied to your selected clip or sequence. You can then customize the template by adjusting the text, colors, and other settings.

For more flexibility, you can embed the template into your project instead of applying it temporarily. This will make the template part of your project file, allowing you to edit it directly in Premiere Pro without having to access Adobe Stock again.

  1. With the template applied to your clip or sequence, right-click on the template in the Effects panel and select Embed.
  2. The template will be embedded into your project, and the Essential Graphics panel will no longer be required.

Step 4: Customize Templates

Adobe Stock templates come with customizable elements, such as text, colors, and graphics. You can easily adjust these elements to match the style and branding of your video.

  1. To customize the text, double-click on the text box within the template. This will open the Text Editor panel where you can change the font, style, size, and color of the text.
  2. To customize the colors, click on the color swatch icon in the template’s properties panel. This will open the Color Picker panel where you can select new colors for the text, graphics, and background.
  3. To customize the graphics, you can adjust their positioning, scale, and opacity using the standard Premiere Pro tools. You can also apply effects to enhance the visuals of the graphics.

Conclusion

Adobe Stock templates are a great way to save time and effort while creating visually stunning videos in Premiere Pro. With a vast library of stylish and professionally designed templates, you can quickly add professional polish to your videos without having to start from scratch.
