Do it in Eddie
Ask Eddie for titles and they carry into Premiere.
Describe the title, such as "A title card with the episode name at the start." Click a title chip to edit its text, font or color; your brand kit's fonts and swatches show first. Plain titles carry through every export path, including the Premiere project.
Back to Premiere
Open the edit, click Export and choose Premiere. You get a Premiere project (.prproj) or the older Premiere XML. In the desktop app, Send to Premiere Pro builds the edit inside Premiere through Eddie's panel, which the app installs for you.
If you imported the footage through the desktop app, the timeline points at your original camera files, so Premiere relinks to them. If you uploaded on the web or pulled from cloud storage, it points at Eddie's proxy media; relink to those, not to the camera originals.
