Essentials Graphics missing in 2025

Essentials Graphic missing from 2025 properties panes and Windows workspaces. MGRTs are not editable now.

It's now just Graphics  workspace.

 

And we don't have the Essential Graphics as a separte panel, they've rebuilt so the Properties panel is where you change/set properties. It's totally "context aware" which is confusing at first.

 

So ... select a mogrt on the sequence, the Properties panel just shows the position/size/center points.

 

Click on some object in that mogrt in the Program panel, suddenly the Properties panel shows what we saw in the EGP, and all the controls, layer stack, everything are there.

I've found the essential graphics tools in the Effect Controls window and all seems pretty straight forward, other than the fact this was a completely needless change. I have discovered though that the auto-alignment tool appears to be missing. Can someone direct me to where I can find this? This was one of my most common go to tools that now appears to have vanished.

To repeat, it's in the highly context aware Properties panel.

 

ALL the old EGP controls and maybe a couple new things now reside there. Click a text item on screen and they will appear in the Properties panel.

 

And yes, it's confusing at first. Very confusing.

But what about EXPORTING/SAVING a NEW MOGRT? That functionality seems totally absent now.

Hello. I experienced the same issue. I’m also sad to hear that the vehicle was lifted. The problem of not having any options appear on the Properties panel and being unable to change the font and color was resolved by closing the current panel and re-adding the Properties tool from the Windows menu.

I have the same issue with the subtitles and with the text - it's frustrating, especially when I need to work fast on my tasks. I do not understand the purpose of changing the system if it worked fine and I do not see any advantages of it

How do I change the font color? I clicked on everything and activated everything what I could - it's just not logical and the color adjustment property just does not appear

Can't say I love this change. I have to search for it every time I open Premiere. It doesn't seem intutitive.. but maybe it's just me. Seems like a lot more clicks to do the samething...

You do need to work with the different Workspace setup. Then it's pretty similar.

Yes, but the properties panel wasn't visible for me with the update, I found this out by accident. It would have been nice to have been notified of it. I don't mind the intuitive properties panel since we already have it in Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, but it was super stressful with a very short deadline on a project after returning from Adobe MAX and not be able to figure out what was happening. 

But yes, the properties panel allowed me to edit mogrts once I added it back.

Personally, I thought it was really weird that the EGP went away, but without the Properties panel simply replacing it in obvious fashion. So yea, I totally agree it can be freaking confusing and lead to massive consternation if on deadlines.

 

It works once you know how it works. But ain't so obvious as it could have been.

Just updated to 2025. Somehow I am able to edit the MGRTs but they won't show up in my exports at all--it displays the missing media graphic or nothing. I hope Adobe clears this up ASAP.
