Adobe’s Dynamic Link is by far one of the best features that Premiere Pro and After Effect have to offer. It allows Premiere Pro to import AE compositions without rendering them first, and with the release of Live Text Templates, this became even better.
Live Text Templates allow you to edit text in an AE composition within Premiere Pro without affecting the existing design and animation. Why is this important? Firstly, it allows anyone with only limited knowledge in AE to quickly modify existing compositions. Secondly, revisions are much faster, because you don’t have to call your motion designer just to correct a misspelling. And lastly, you can easily duplicate Live Text Templates so you can use them again and again inside your project.
However, take note that for the time being, this feature only allows you to change the text, so you won’t be able to modify the font, text size, colors, or alignment just yet. But for some simple revisions, this works very well. It’s also available only for versions CC 2014 and up. Here’s a rundown of how it works.
