Make the Essential Graphics interface options flexible & robust (Folders)

Bronwyn,

It's clear that most people prefer the option of folders.

I recently downloaded some packs of mogrts, over 30 in total. It's so much easier to just keep them in their respective folders (kinetic, static, lower thirds, backgrounds, etc) than to have to input keywords for them.

Also, I can't work out how to paste a keyword across multiple mogrts - it seems I can only do one at a time, unless there's something I've missed in the documentation.

Hi Simon, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Have you tried using keyword tags as a way to organize your templates? Is there a reason why this workflow doesn't meet your needs?

There's another thread requesting more flexibility for organizing/navigating Motion Graphics templates in the Essential Graphics panel already here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/33933886-make-the-essential-graphics-interface-options-flex

If this thread covers your request, I'll go ahead and close this one.

Thanks!
Bronwyn

Please allow us to create folders in the Essential Graphics' window, as in the previous Premiere update, so we can organize all the Essential graphics we import in Premiere. The new update makes it really painful to use.

To removed the folders view from Essential Graphics was not a good idea, please bring it back.

What a stupid careless update. It is so tiresome and time consuming. Dont know how was this thing ignored.

Hi Ben,

You can still use your Creative Cloud Libraries and limit your search to Libraries or navigate to a specific Library with the checkboxes and drop down menu. I'm guessing however that your request is about the folders which are no longer visible in the new design - is that correct?

We are tracking a feature request to have the folder names you set up on disk act like keywords/tags you can enter into the Search Bar. So if you had a folder called "Morning Show Promos" you could enter that into the search bar and the contents of that folder would be displayed.

There is also another Feature Request we are tracking which requests the return of folders, icon/list view, and sorting options: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/33933886-make-the-essential-graphics-interface-options-flex

If that request I linked above covers the same things you are looking for, I will close this feature request and we'll track the other one since it has quite a few votes already. If not, let us know what additional functionality you're hoping for.

Thanks!
Bronwyn

The latest update to Premiere came with some changes to Essential Graphics that seem to our team counterproductive.

1) the library options that allowed you to view only graphics in a given libary when looking in the EG panel have disappeared. Our workaround has been to use starring, for highly used graphics of ours, but it's clunky

2) The tile based layout is fine, but we all much prefer the text-based list option. Why do away with it altogether? Make it an option.

BRING BACK THE FOLDERS!! It is ridiculous that I now have to send 10+ editors five folders that they cannot easily sort.

The upgrade turned essential graphics into the most unorganized place for an editor to work.

Also--why is it that you can't just upload an entire folder? Instead editors need to upload 15+ MOGRT files individually for each folder I am creating for them.

PLEASE FIX THIS.

@Scott@7224 I can understand why the workflow seems counter-intuitve when you're used to everything being like media in the Project Panel. Perhaps it would help to think of Graphic Layers as Effects (which is what they are) and the Graphic track item as a container for Layers. Like effects, Graphic Layers are only really relevant when they are used in sequence along with the media they are meant to complement.

@James I still consider them pieces of footage and find it odd to have two separate footage systems, one that lives in essential graphics/CC Library world, and one that lives in the project file system. I just haven't wrapped my head around the proper workflow I guess....It has seemed counter-intuitive to me up to this point.
