Are you serious?? Adobe Premiere doesn't have the capability to add a Stroke?????

Yep, there's been a few. The first one has 35 posts since 2011, and included several methods.

Tthe second is a single post that had no answers.

The third one was one question on how with two answers on how to do it.

Doing a little math, that's under 40 posts over a decade. Yea, there may be a few more similar threads. But there are several ways to accomplish the job.

As I noted above, please file a UserVoice request ... or go there, search, and upvote one already existing. Post back there with a link, asking other users to upvote it. I'll happily go vote for it myself.

And ... it ain't my program. Like all other ACPs, I'm just a volunteer user like yourself, who takes time from my day on my own to help other users.

Your first post and heading are rather cryptic, and as nearly all uses of strokes I've ever seen have been for text, I wasn't expecting anything else. If you don't explain yourself clearly, you can't expect people to guess, especially when you are using something normally used for X and applying it to Y.

I've been on this forum daily since oh, mid-CS6 era. I don't recall once having someone ask about putting a stroke on a cropped video layer here. That would tend to indicate it's not been a huge request item across the user base.

That doesn't mean it wouldn't be good, helpful, and useful for some users. So asking for it would be most welcome. As always, there are many things very useful to some niche of the user base that are very worth the effort to add them to the program. But don't make the assumption that most of the user base is pining for it.

Graeme's comments to me are spot on. You can accomplish the effect in several ways already.

And also respectfully ask for the ability to create one in a new way for this program. We peer users tend to be first practical: if there's a current way, give the help on how to get stuff out the door now. And past that, advise on how to get something added or changed in the future. But current work doesn't wait for the future, it has to get to the client.

This is of course their user-to-user peer support forum.

To appeal to the engineers and the upper managers who decide budgets and features and other changes ... post a request and/or upvote preset requests over on their UserVoice system. Every post there is read & logged by at least one engineer as it gets added into their system. And all posts there are collated and sent to their upper managers.

Um ... your comments are cryptic ... but yes, Premiere specifically allows multiple strokes available on text, and drop shadows, and changeable background blocks behind them.

So I have no clue what your "not for text" refers to at all.

How many strokes do you want? It's easy ... just keep adding them.

It's in the Essential Graphics panel ... add text to the program monitor, go to the Graphics workspace/EGP, edit tab, and look down below in the formatting options. I've got two in the image below.
