Could anyone point me in the right direction to a tutorial or link (or provide advice) on how to create titles in Photoshop (7.0) and insert them over a video track in prelm3.0?

I have tried creating titles (just started) in the title editor and its just seems to me that I'd have more power and get better results creating an image in PS and inserting it in PE.

What I would like to know are the settings for image size, font, image type, resolution etc etc. for a ps file and any other tips and tricks for using this technique.

The end result will be burned to dvd for viewing on a television.

thanks in advance

In Phototshop select File > New. From the preset pull-down menu, select the size of the image to match your Premiere project settings (NTSC, PAL, 4x3 screen, widescreen, etc). After creating your title, save the text layer(s) as PSD. If you have multiple text layers, you can merge them or bring them individually into PPRO...depending on the effect you want.

Unfortunately Elements 3 does not do layers.
Workaround is to save each layer seperately or just make the text on a transparant background.
don't use fonts with a fringe, use fonts that are sant serif
Don't use white but off-white. White tends to spil.
Make a title no smaller than 20 and not a big that it fills the sceen from left to right unless that is exactly what you want ;-)
Ones in Element give it a bit of a bevel alfa and a drop shadow, that makes it stand from the background.
Make it a bit dynamic by zooming in very very slowly, or moving it slowly from left to right, anyway experiment on that.

Thanks. I did some experimenting last night and, as you have suggested, used the PS presets for a blank document. I also found a write-up on the web which suggested using guides to show the safe areas. I tried a couple of times and it all seems to work. I now have a title template which I can use to make my title screens with. Now its a matter of picking a good font that renders well. I have a feeling that adding a swash behind the title that, while transparent, is a color halfway between the background and the text that mitigates the difference between the near-white text and the near black background may help,
thanks
