 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial and this one I'm going to show you a technique to center your text not center align it but to actually center it and make sure that you've got the text exactly where you want it. Now to create text in Adobe Premiere Pro all you got to do is go down to your toolbar here and go to the bottom and click on the type tool or the big capital T left click on that and type anywhere you want so I'm just going to type in here puppy all right cool so we got a puppy and now here's the tricky part let's say you're producing this for some sort of production and you want it to be right exactly in the center if you come over to the left side here it's not immediately clear how to do that if you for example are in the effect controls and you drop the Chevron here you're going to see some options but none of them are center if you click on this one its center aligns the text but it doesn't center it so we want to center it in the middle of the composition the same goes with this stuff it does not center the text the way you would expect it to all right let me show you how to fix it the next step here is you want to go down to your toolbar again grab your selection tool and let me just show you one last thing you can move it and sort of eyeball it and you'll probably get pretty close like if I was to eyeball it I'd go somewhere around there but I know for a fact that is not perfectly centered because there's no grids and no there's no guidelines and there's nothing snapping so what you want to do is you want to go to your graphics workspace up at the top here I left click on it you're going to see that it opens up the essential graphics panel right now it's set to open at browse and that is not what we want we actually want to go to edit left click on edit and now you're going to see the inline and transform options this is what we're looking for the first one here is vertical center when I left click on that you'll see it moved a little bit and now I'm going to go horizontal center left click on that and actually moved a lot my wow my center was way out of whack here but I know by clicking these buttons it is perfectly centered that's how you set up text to look the right way guys so anyways that's it for this tutorial it was a quick one I'll be back soon with some more content thanks for watching
