Open a new Photoshop document. Size it at 720 pixels wide by 534 pixels high. Use RGB color space, and a transparent background.
Create your text, at the largest size you want it to appear on screen. (Note: I'm assuming you do not want the text to appear to extend beyond the screen edges). To make sure all of the text will be seen, keep it inside the "title safe area". This area leaves a 10% border around your image, to account for the fact that the bezels of television sets hide part of the edge of the picture.
Correct the picture for the non-square pixels of video either by using Photoshop's utility for this, or by manually re-scaling the picture to 720x480. This will squash it down a little, but it will re-expand when displayed as video.
Save the image as a 32 bit .tga file, or simply as a .psd (Premiere can handle either). Import into Premiere.
Place the title in a track above your background video clip (or still image). Use Alpha Channel compositing to make everything except the text transparent.
Now, use the Pan/Crop filter to shrink the text down to its initial value and set a keyframe at the start of the text clip. Preview the effect. The text should appear over the background, very small (distant), and slowly grow to its maximum size. You may want to set another keyframe a few seconds from the end, so that the text will stay at this size before fading out.

I'm fairly new with Adobe Premiere Pro, learning something new every day, but one thing that I can't figure out is how to move my titles. I'm a big fan of the titles slowly zooming toward the foreground, like movie trailers are fond of doing, when the title starts small and begins to expand... I hope I described this well enough. If someone could guide me on how to do this, I have Adobe Premiere Pro & Photoshop...I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you.
