@Scott@7224 crozier We recently removed the drag and drop method of converting timeline Graphics into Master graphics in the project panel because it creates a scenrario where all new instances of the master item will always be exact duplicates of each other. That is not something that most users will ever want, so we made it harder to do inadvertently. It's still possible, you just have to use a menu item to do it. Select a Graphic in TL, then choose Graphics > Upgrade to Master Graphic.

Why is it impossible to drag graphics from the panel into a bin in the project? Or am I just missing something?

Totally nuts to remove the folders without a way to bulk import and bulk tag templates. My PP doesn't recognize many of my template folders and can't search them from inside the app, so I have to upload each template one by one. Horrible change. I just burned about three hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my folders that I could no longer navigate.

This keyword thing sounds nice. But have you added this to After Effects?

This is an utterly ridiculous update. There could not have been a significant amount of users asking for this massive of a change to the ui. Is it reasonable to expect users of any level to add tags and keywords to potentially hundreds of files? No. Please give users a reaonsable way to organize and segment the essential graphics files.

Updated my CC this morning, to find this chaos. Unacceptable.

when will adobe learn.... If you want to introduce a new 'feature', great. But give us the OPTION to select what we want.

I've got over 700 'titles' that now lag the **** out of my screen and are jumbled left right and centre. It's UNWORKABLE now. they're named things like 'title01', 'title02', 'title03'...I'm not going to add keywords to over 700 files. It's madness.

BRING BACK THE FOLDER VIEW NOW. Sheesh.

Please take another look at this! It's overly complicated, and messy. I wish this was clean and simple. It's complicated just trying to explain how to use Essential Graphics to others with it's cluttered interface. It should be a blank slate.

Yes, please list view and folder view. And a proper search box!
