Up until the latest version of PR (cc2017) with title appearing to be on the way out, I use to create a title, then on the title drop a rectangle on what I wanted a box around, then apply a style that made it just the box outline in my choice color.

Without titles, how can I easily do the same thing?

Hi Peterkellner1,

Without titles, how can I easily do the same thing?

If you are familiar with this workflow, you can still create them under the Titles (now: Legacy Title in PPro CC2017.1 ).

Check this: FAQ: Where is the Legacy Titler in Premiere Pro CC 2017 (11.1) located?

Thanks,

Yes Kulpreet, that is what I want.

Two follow-up questions.

1. How do I get the rectangle to appear on my bar like you have? (I added a shortcut for it but can't find where the bar options are set).

2. Once I get it, how do I set the default properties of the rectangle?

Thanks

1. How do I get the rectangle to appear on my bar like you have? (I added a shortcut for it but can't find where the bar options are set).

I use the graphic workspace and it's setup the way I showed you.

it's here:

2. Once I get it, how do I set the default properties of the rectangle?

I can't see a place for default size or setting default size, but you can create one that you want and duplicate it, you can even create a preset for it. scaling is done through it's transform controls in the effect controls or essential graphics panel or using the handles of the shape when you hover with your mouse over it.
