Long time fan and advocate for the Legacy Titler but I have been away from Premiere for about five years and things have happened. Thought I better give Essential Graphics a fairtrial run and explore and see how it would have fitted into my well established work flows...mostly in the post production of TV Commmercial spots. ie graphic and images. I usually worked with a client art director/ designer in the room at this point FWIW So a basic easy start...how do I get super imposed letters over my video frame? From the Edit Work space I simply select the T Icon and click it on the Program Monitor. Yes I can type on Text and it appears directly on the sequence above my video frame. So far so good. Now I need attributes for the text so ...I guess I open Essential Graphics Pane...Whats this. BROWSE TEMPLATES...huh?...art director looks at me!!! Oh...there is an EDIT Button...oh...ok....Yep ...confusing...but that works Now I probably need some controls...EFX Control Window and keyframes maybe. Yep that works. Ok leave it there for now and do the next graphic...and so on... Thing is...where is my Title Asset in the Project when we want to revisit, duplicate, modify, do an alternative based on same title, use in an alternative edit/ project....... Reveal in Project (greyed out) Might have missed something...but I never had a graphic I could not achieve in Premiere Legacy, Photoshop,, AEFX from a blank video frame. Maybe I am too Legacy myself to work without assets in Bins or Project but it was common for me to stack graphics, titles, logos all from different asests and sources. PSDs, AEX, PNG, Premiere Titler...etc Question...why is it called ESSENTIAL GRAPHICS? Meaningless to me.
