Essentials Graphics missing in 2025

Since the Essential Graphics option has been removed form the Windows drop down menue my motion templete graphics are no longer working, such as, "TA_Outline_Marker_Animation."

Now that EG is under properties, is there a way to fix this?

You could comment:

"Thanks for pointing this out! Have you checked if there's a workaround or if an update might address it? Hope this gets resolved soon!"

Would you like a more technical or formal tone?

Same issue... with the update I can't replace the place holder from an existing MORGT rendering it completely useless.  It used to give me the option to open it in it's own timeline to replace the content with my own... now it only allows me to add it via a local file.  I'm not exporting clips just to re-add them to the timeline... that's way to much time wasted for what worked just fine before. 

This change seems like a step backward. For instance, I can't copy and paste effects settings to different text blocks now that the text controls don't show up in the effects control panel. I can't see the x and y axis numbers either. Very much not a fan of this change. Does anyone know why when I click on my caption block it no longer lets me see the x and y axis nor copy and paste settings?

Thanks for clearing up the relocation gotcha's when it comes to accessing properties via the properties panel. Hoping y'all can also help with what I and some others seem to be dealing with... newly restricted functionality when it comes to building .mogrts in AE.

The selling point of "Essential Properties" was that you could define certain controls and properties that you wanted to elevate and access via a single PreComp layer. I understand that this is still functioning correctly (albeit now accessed through the "Properties" panel).

**What seems to have LOST support is the ability to bring those elevated Essential Properties from that single Precomp layer and then add them to a .mogrt via the Essential Graphics panel.**

Regardless of whether I'm selecting those properties in the Properties Panel, or via the Essential Properties twirldown on my PreComp, neither allows me to drag/add to the Essential Graphics panel. It's greyed out, and when an attempt at manuall dragging them in is made, we're met with a new error message:

In many cases you could simply create the .mogrt from within the original Comp (the same place you set up the original propeties). However, there are plenty of times where this is not possible/ideal. For example, I have a bunch of controls rigged up for a .mogrt, and I'd like to add an overall "Scale All" functionality. Because of all the heavy expressions in there,  I can't simply link things to a null without stuff breaking. Instead, I'd rather precomp the whole setup, and add a scale control to the precomp instead. Much easier, and what I used to do... but now can't. 

Does anyone have any intel on whether this is actively being fixed/developed? Any workarounds in the meantime? The change has unfortunately affected the 50+ .mogrt deliverables I owe my client and severly limits what's possible in terms of creating new .mogrts in the future.

Thanks in advance!

Leave it to Adobe to make unnecessary and UNWANTED changes.

Properties Panel does not show all the editable parameters for the mogrts. Why make changes like this before making sure they actually work the way they are supposed to?

Totaalay stupid why would youdo that ? it very confusing you just made my life that much harder I was trying to input movie creits rolling and ya just went and made thing super complicated . Might have to stop using adone !!!
