Adobe launched a new #MakeItImpactful Premiere Pro video competition!

- Using Premiere Pro's Essential Graphics Panel, add title text to your video. And animate it! Make it look good, make an impact. I've included some of my tutorials below to help you get started.
- Upload your video to a public video hosting site, like YouTube or Vimeo, and share a link to the video on Twitter. Tag it with #MakeItImpactful and #Contest. If your video is less than 2:20 you can direct upload it to Twitter, or if it is less than 60-seconds, you can direct upload it to Instagram and tag it with #MakeItImpactful and #Contest.
- You can submit as many times as you want, but only once per day.
