Hello Premiere Lovers and experts.

I'm working on a project and my client wanted me to update colors etc. but the issue is, there are many texts and i put them in many nest to animate and if i want to change one color i have to get inside of multiple nests like a matruskha babies and it just takes so much time. So i'm curious, is there any way to update texts inside of multiple nest?

I added a screenshot so you guys can understand the issue.

Correct answer PaulMurphy

You can update the text color across multiple nested sequences by turning your text layers into source graphics. Follow these steps:

  1. Open each nested sequence and select the text graphic. Then go to Graphics and Titles > Upgrade to Source Graphic. This converts the graphic into a source graphic, which is added to your Project panel and allows for global updates.
  2. In the Project panel, drag all the source graphics into a new sequence.
  3. In the new sequence, select all the source graphics. Then go to the Properties panel and adjust the text color. Since these are source graphics, any changes will automatically update across all instances, including those in your nested sequences.

You can update multiple text in the timeline at the same time but not if they are embedded in nests.

Properties panel wont show text in nests
