Is it possible to have paragraph text as an After Effects template (in Premiere Pro)?

Question

I have a text layer in After Effects that I'm using as a text template for a Premiere Pro project. Is it possible to make the editable text multi-line, and if so, how would I go about this?

Answer 1

Just to sync our watches: Both point text and paragraph text have the potential to be either single or multiline.

If you create multi-line text using so-called point text like this (ie, single-click of the Text tool, w/ multiple lines created by hitting the return key) ...

..then Premiere will display the multiple lines like this:

On the other hand, if you create multi-line text using so-called paragraph text like this (ie, click-drag a rectanglar area with the Text tool, w/ multiple lines created by hitting return key or word-wrapping) ...

..then Premiere will display editable fields like this:

So basically Premiere will add additional editable text fields whenever it sees linebreak characters in your text, whether it's point text or paragraph text. Hopefully that helps!
