Question

Where did the Essential Graphics panel go?

So I am working in Beta version 24.6.0 and I am to the point in my video where I want to add some cool mogrts and the "Graphics Template" window is available but NOT Essential Graphics.  Just to make sure I got the terms correct, I opened up my other PP progrma and sure enough.

 

So why did Abobe make the change?  Graphics are not displayed under the Effect Controls inside of in the Essential Graphics panel.  It is just WEIRD!!!  To edit a mogrt you would ALWAYS go to the Essential Graphics panel.  The "Graphics Template" is just that...a way to look at mogrts on your computer.  But don't try to edit them in this panel.

 

Like always with Adobe, they make changes but really never tell you why they changed something.  "Someone, somewhere, somehow thought up a horrible idea in a meeting and some decision maker said, "Hey, that's a great idea...let's completely change the way they edit their mogrts."

 

NOT funny adobe, not funny at all.

    Hi all, 

     

    I'm locking this conversation as changes described in this thread have been shipping for a while. If you've got questions or comments about this change, please post them in the main Premiere Pro forum. 

     

    Regards,

    Fergus

        PLEASE ADOBE!!!! Restore the editing as it was in PP24. You have made this soooo difficult for no reason. We use MOGRTs in all of our projects. This change really has caused great difficulties for our team of editors!

        Properties panel will give you the same functionality as the Ess. Graphics panel did.

        I'm also really confused here! I'm trying to change the font, color, etc on all my captions at once. Before I could highlight them all and go into Essential Graphics and change everything right there. Not I CANNOT find those settings anywhere and can't figure out how to change the settings on all my captions at once. I don't want to edit them all individually....

          I am having the same problems, I need a video to be ready by tomorrow and all I had with new version was a NIGHTMARE for the captions. I select them, then go to properties and it won't allow me to edit them. I understand the need to inovate and keep up but if something is working well I personally don't see the need of change. 
          ADOBE, if you do changes make sure to update the website on instructions guys because I'm already 2h lost trying to figure it out and I'm guessing you're not going to deduct it from the next invoice.
          @Cinema Físico could you please assist us on this issue.🙏

            I can't even figure this out, nothing appears for me even with the basic instructions. Below, why do you make these dumb changes. Literally no controls appear for me in properties

              My Premiere 24 wasnt working properly, had to move to Beta 25, as a workaround , but the properties panel control does not give any elements in text on captions to be able to controlled.

                Hello. community,

                 

                Abobe Premiere version 24.6.0 BETA (Build 30)

                Where is the "Essential Graphic" tab. I use a lot this tab. Now can not find it. If It doesn't exist anymore, what is the tab that correspond "Essential Graphics".

                  Hi @Cinema Físico,

                   

                  We've implemented a new workflow - please open the Graphics Templates panel to access your mogrts, then open the new Properties Panel to edit the controls.

                   

                  Sorry for the confusion, we're currently working on a way to highlight the change.

                   

                  Cheers,

                  Theresa

                    Your points are valid @Randune23 ... I don't like it either when my UI radically changes in apps I use constantly without much notice. But the link that @Ann Bens shared explains the new changes pretty well. Also note that the switch to Properties Panel in PrPro is ONLY in Beta for now. There will be broader, louder announcements before the feature officially releases.

                      Well for the ease of editing mogrts, I hope it stays in the beta version and never makes its way to the full PP version.  As I am working on a big promo video for an event at work, for whatever reason, I opened up last year's project and since it was created in last year's beta, it opened up in beta.  

                      So without thinking about it, I started making this year's video in beta.  And that is when I ran into all the issues with the absence of the Essential Graphics panel.  In fact, I opened up the current PP version and LOVED how easy it was to edit my mogrts.  Ahhh, how I long for those days again.

                      In fact, the next videos for my YouTube channel, I am going to make sure I DO NOT start a new project in a beta version.

                       

                      I read the article by Ann Bens and it's cute but doesn't really explain the move away from the Essential Graphics panel to the new Graphics Template.

                       

                      Have a great day!!!

                        Yeah this new version is TRASH. I have to have two panels open for text instead of one, and the second one is floating?  Why fix something that wasn't broke?  This is much more horrible than it used to be with Essential Graphics. Someone make them change it back
