How do i do a  Simple credit roller in newest version 25.1.0, essential graphics is gone, and has the new properties panel but how can i do a simple roll crawl like before cheers

Go to Graphics and Titles > New Layer > Text and type or paste the text you want to roll.

With your graphic clip selected in the Timeline, go to Window > Properties. Without any layers in the graphic selected, scroll to the bottom of the Properties panel and tick Roll.

A key thing about the Properties panel is that it changes based on what's selected in the Timeline.  To create a credit roll, something that it can be applied to has to be selected.

That's clearly the most confusing part of using a "context aware" panel for regular UI duties. You have to select something before you can see the controls.

The behavior is consistent for the Properties panel in Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and InDesign, but I guess the question is how many Premiere Pro users are coming to it from that experience if at all.  Hopefully, users not familiar with it will come to appreciate how it functions.

When it comes to the Properties panel regardless of which Adobe app I'm in, I've aways been a little leary about additional settings for what is selected that the Properties panel might not be showing that exist elsewhere in the application.  Nonetheless, I think it helps to make applications that are very deep when it comes to settings and properties to be adjusted easier to use.

Getting rid of the essential graphics pissed me off at first but im warming to the properties panel now, i just leave it open all the time and it updateds to what im using

@emmetr21808029 

Are you using the beta version (25.1)?

The trick for those of us not used to constantly changing "context aware" UI panels, is simply learning where to click to get further controls to show up.

I have many years of computer image working, both stills and videos, and this is a struggle still.

As clearly for some others.
