I have updated to the most current premiere pro. I have the panel for essential graphics open I have browsed for the Bold Title click on bold title and then click edit. How do I edit the text, this may be stupid but I have spent the past 30 minutes trying to figure out what is wrong with premiere pro. Then again I may just be stupid?

      Okay, text can be edited in the graphics panel...so how come I can't seem to use standard key combos that have been in use since Mac and Windows FIRST BEGAN? The ONLY one that works is Ctrl-A (Select All). Go back a word? Nope. Select word? Nope. Go to the keyboard shortcuts window and it's all gray for Essential Graphics. Only deselect is available to map. No other commands are available. These work in the old Titler, in Photoshop, in Illustrator etc. but why not for — sake here?

      Can anyone say "NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME", boys and girls? Or would Adobe like a few nice lawsuits for causing carpal tunnel because the only way to edit these items is with the MOUSE which is very wrist intensive, a reason professional editors tend to use as many keyboard shortcuts as possible. HELP!

        I understand the frustration with the new EGP. There are some things it can do that couldn't be done before or at least easily. And other things that it doesn't have the capability to do ... yet. The roll-out of the new feature wasn't what I'd have suggested, but oh well.

        For some things you still need to use the old titler, available now via File/New/Legacy Title, and ... I created a Titler custom workspace for it. I also assigned Shift-T to File/New/Legacy Title in the keyboards shortcut box so I can pop it up at need.

        And created a custom EGP workspace also, for when I use that.

        In time, the EGP will be a vast improvement over the old setup. But you're right, it doesn't have the full tool-set yet. Still, I'll take it as an addition to what PrPro can do for the moment.
