Now you can easily access frequently needed controls in Premiere Pro using the new Properties panel. As you select clips in the timeline, the most relevant controls and quick actions will automatically display in the Properties panel.
Need to change the scale of multiple video clips and graphics? Or change the volume of multiple audio clips? You can now select multiple clips in the timeline and change properties on all of them at once.
Need access to more advanced controls? The Properties panel will guide you to the additional panels that you need.
How do you enable the Properties panel in Premiere Pro?
To access the Properties panel, select the Window menu in Premiere Pro and then choose Properties:
You can add the Properties panel to your existing workspace by docking it wherever you like. The Properties panel is now automatically docked in all default workspaces and will be visible when you Reset to Saved Layout.
What has changed?
- Controls for editing Graphics and Captions have moved completely to the Properties panel.
- You can access your Motion Graphics Templates from the Graphics Templates panel.
- Properties Window for source clips has been renamed to Media File Properties.
Which controls are available via the Properties panel?
The following controls are available via the Properties panel based on the type of clip that you have selected in the timeline:
- Video
- Transform
- Position
- Scale
- Anchor Point
- Rotation
- Opacity
- Audio
- Volume
- Pan
- Graphics:
- All Graphics Controls
- Captions
- All Captions Controls
- Speed Quick Action
- Fill Frame and Fit to Frame
How do I change multiple clips at once using the Properties panel?
If you select clips that have the same property value (for instance, if the scale of two graphics is 100%) then you will see the value of the property in the Properties panel and can modify the property for the multiple clips that you have selected.
If the properties for multiple clips are different (for instance, the scale of one graphic is 90% and the scale of the other graphic is 100%), you will see ‘–’ in the input field. Entering a number will change the absolute value for all selected clips. Dragging the number control will change the values relative to the amount that you entered. If you increase the values, you will see a plus (+) in front of the number while dragging and if you decrease the values, you will see a minus (-) in front of the values while dragging.
What is coming soon?
We plan to continue adding features while the Properties panel is in beta. The following are coming soon:
- Crop
- Direct Manipulation Controls for Crop and Transform in the Program Monitor
- Mute
We want to hear from you about what you would like to see added. Please try it and give us feedback!

@Remote Index thank you for highlighting these challenges – the confusion between Media File Properties and Info panels, along with the way they're accessed, is a definitely a valid concern. As the app evolves we hope to clear up any overlap and redundancies that exist, including what you've mentioned above.
We will update the original post to include the change in nomenclature and be mindful of incorporating useful information like this in future announcements to avoid frustration! Thanks aga

One thing I feel I am missing from the properties panel vs the EG panel is that there is no way to start a new graphic from this panel.
OLD EG PANEL
NEW PROPETIRES PANEL has no way of creating a graphic.
I guess we are all forced to use the menu command now? Would be nice to add back the ability to create a new graphic layer to the properties panel instead of adding a bunch of mouse milage to fly up to the menu bar, which for people with dual dispalce can be a a LONG ways away from where you are trying to edit whatever graphic you are trying to start.
Can you please add a reset button for every properties? Could be right beside the keyframe button.
Often times, I will have to reset a single properties and resetting all is undoing all of the reframing etc.
Here's what it's like in the Effects Controsl panel.
Hey @lbernier,
The resets are available when you right click on the property. If you've enabled animation, toggling animation (like the stopwatch icon in the ECP) will become available.
Here is what my premiere files look like. There used to be a graphics box that I could find eventually inside the properties panel with captions - I found it once - and never again. I've tried everything - the only thing that worked was convert EACH caption file to graphic and manually changing all the text. It wouldn't paste all attributes and I do not have time for that. If you have a solution...let me know. It's like the essential graphics literally disappeared.
