This feature is now shipping in the October release of Premiere Pro. Questions or comment about it should be posted to the main Premiere Pro forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/ct-p/ct-premiere-pro. ------------------- (Ann Bens, this one is for you. And hopefully not just for you.) We have added directional strokes to the Essential Graphics panel for titles, that means you can now choose between outer, inner and center strokes. Yay! We also refreshed the UI of the Appearance section of the Essential Graphics panel a bit The feature should hopefully just work as you expect, but here some details: The new default is outer strokes for both text and shapes Outer strokes grow from the edge of the shape/text outwards Outer strokes draw the stroke behind the fill Inner strokes grow from the edge of the shape/text inwards Inner strokes draw the stroke over the fill A first stroke daws on top of a second stroke. Example: if you create a 80px outer stroke, the second outer stroke will need to be greater than 80px to see it, otherwise it will just be hidden behind the first stroke. The hardest problem we had to solve was how to retain rendering for legacy projects. We really did not want to mess up existing designs from our users. The answer we found was to retain our old strokes behavior for center strokes. With center strokes the stroke is over the fill for shapes, but under the fill for text, just the way it was in the past. The values of the stroke width will change but rendering itself looks exactly the same as in previous versions. Inner/Outer Strokes in Essential Graphics work basically like Photoshop and the Legacy Titler now. Speaking of the Legacy Titler, for people still having some Legacy titles they want to upgrade to Source graphics: By adding this feature we can now include inner strokes in the conversion from Legacy titles to Source graphics.

The feature should hopefully just work as you expect, but here some details:

The new default is outer strokes for both text and shapes

Outer strokes grow from the edge of the shape/text outwards
- Outer strokes draw the stroke behind the fill

Inner strokes grow from the edge of the shape/text inwards
- Inner strokes draw the stroke over the fill

A first stroke daws on top of a second stroke.
- Example: if you create a 80px outer stroke, the second outer stroke will need to be greater than 80px to see it, otherwise it will just be hidden behind the first stroke.

An eye dropper for the linear and radial gradient would be nice.

Instead of having to copy/paste color codes.

And not just for the stroke, but all properties that have a gradient.

Hi Ann! Can you expand on that for me a bit? You can use the eye dropper for gradients but I am sure you know that and that I am just not understanding your request.

Well this is odd. I could have sworn there was no eyedropper......

Sorry.

Annika,

Tell the team that a lot of us will love this, not just Ann. Though she's been a major force in pushing for this the entire time that the EGP has been around, of course!

This is yet another very welcome update! The approach of being able to create a stroke and then decide if it should be inner, outer or center is a much better approach then the way it is in LT, whereby users need to decide the type of stroke beforehand.

Placing the colour picker icons right next to the colour squares creates a nicer layout.

I just tested it out and it works well. One thing that's still missing with strokes in EG is the ability to change their order, as is possible in the LT using the Move Up & Move Down buttons. Is this something that will be added to EG? Perhaps, rather than add buttons for this, the simple ability to drag a colour square up or down to reorder would suffice?

Yes, Yes, Yes.
