How to have different layers for different types of graphics: title and lines

Hello to everyone!

Cannot find a solution myself.

I need to draw two lines with a PEN TOOL to appear at the very beginning of the Sequence. 

I need a title to appear later.

However, all these graphic elements appear on the same layer with no possibility to modify the timing.

 

I'm sure I did something wrong, but I cannot figure out what in particular.

Will be very grateful for any ideas!

 

Thanks!

Adding to Sumeet, you will also need to do keyframing for each of the graphic clips

      You should be able to select each specific item in the Properties panel and time it as you wish... is that not working? 

      Everyone's mileage always varies ...

      Hi Olga_B5414,

       

      Welcome to the community! When you create a shape using the Pen tool, Premiere Pro automatically creates a Graphics layer on the timeline. This layer is selected by default, allowing you to make further changes to it.

      If you want to add a second line or shape on a different Graphics layer, you need to deselect the current Graphics layer in the timeline (just click anywhere in the empty space on the timeline). Doing this ensures that a new Graphics layer is created, which you can animate separately.

      Alternatively, you can add multiple shapes and text to the same Graphics layer and animate them individually in the Effect Controls panel. Even though these elements are part of the same layer, they will appear as separate entries in the Effect Controls panel, giving you the ability to animate each one independently.

      Hope it helps.

       

      Thanks,

      Sumeet
