Cant find how to align center both vertically and horisontally i Premiere Pro 2025

After upgrading to Premiere Pro 2025 and started using the new Properties panel I am a bit confused over how to align something in the middle of the frame both horisontally and vertically. It used to be a setting for that in the Essential Graphics panel, but now it´s gone. Am I suppose to use the Fit and Fill buttons at the top of the properties panel. They seem to place objects in the middle. But they also increases the size of objects which is not ideal.

Make sure you've twirled down the Arrow next to Align...

Having this problem, but my properties panel doesn't have anything to "scroll down" to. I'm just trying to align an image to left and centre of the video. Properties panel just looks like this. Anyone have any insights?

That crazy thing is now "context aware", right?

 

That means it constantly changes depending on what you have selected very specifially.

 

So you haven't selected the item with text to it. And yea, to me, that's freaky weird.

 

Select the mogrt/graphic clip, you get what you're seeing.

 

Select the text/shape item itself, inside the mogrt/graphic, you get the options to change that item.

I agree. It seems they haven´t thinked things through with the Properties panel. Sometimes I want to center something else than objects containing text and the only thing I can find is the Fill and Fit buttons which centers objects but also changes the size of them.

Thank you, everyone for answering. I feel a bit dumb. I didn´t see it because I didn´t make the panel wide enough.

Yea, it's all a bit different, so it takes some getting used to.

 

Some love the move of so many things to the property panel, I know some users that are thrilled. I'm ... still thinking about whether it was an improvement for me or not.

Indeed, one still needs to go back to the Effects Control panel quite a bit. It's fantastic in AE, in PP it's good, but hopefully it will be added to.

Did you scroll down far enough in the properties panel?
