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?
1 Answer
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!

Perhaps I wasn't clear. After Effects has a setting where the text of text layers can be made editable in Premiere. This only appears to work with point text (I can only edit one line in Premiere). I was wondering if you can add multiple lines. Nov 7, 2016 at 4:48

1Ok, I think I've gotten the hang of the "text template" feature now, and have updated my answer. Nov 8, 2016 at 18:50
