Bring Back the Ability to Apply Text Styles to Multiple Clips in Premiere Pro

In previous versions of Premiere Pro, the Essential Graphics panel allowed users to apply styles like fonts, sizes, and drop shadows across multiple text clips using linked styles or copy/paste workflows. Now, with the new Properties panel replacing Essential Graphics, some of that functionality has been quietly removed or broken.

Specifically: when selecting multiple text clips, the ability to apply a linked text style vanishes. Even basic properties like font or alignment can’t be batch-edited. Oddly enough, drop shadow still works on multi-select, proving the software can handle it, Adobe just didn’t finish the implementation.

This change slows down workflows dramatically for anyone working with series-based text graphics (interviews, lyric videos, doc captions, etc.). Please restore or rebuild the ability to:

• Apply text styles across multiple clips at once

• Use linked styles on multi-select

• Copy/paste full text styling efficiently

The new UI is visually cleaner, but it comes at the cost of functionality. If the goal is to streamline workflows, removing batch editing options is a huge step backward.

We need pro tools that keep up with pro demands. Please fix this.
