Copy/paste text graphic also copies the markers

Hi

I am a long time Premiere user and have an odd problem I cannot solve.

I create text using Essential Graphics. I have a graphic with text in it set up in a certain way. Save redoing that everytime for the whole film, I highlight the clip, copy and paste (or alt-drag) and change the text to suit. Fine. However I often use markers on the text graphics to highlight various words so I can line up visuals, however, when I copy/paste a text graphic clip it also copies the markers and if i then delete or add new ones it also shows them on the previous clip (that I copied from) - so the graphics are unique/independent in terms of text but NOT unique for markers. I cannot seem to make the clips 100% unique in terms of markers (which means I need to start a new text graphic for each super/subtitle)

I am on v23.6.8 (still on an older version due to long running projects) however I am sure it didnt used to do this...

Any ideas how I copy a graphic and make the markers unique/independent to that clip?

Thanks

When duplicating graphics in Adobe Premiere Pro, the method you choose affects how markers are handled:

• Copy and Paste (Ctrl/Cmd + C, then Ctrl/Cmd + V): This creates a new clip with markers that are independent of the original clip.
• Alt/Option + Drag: This duplicates the clip, but the markers remain linked to the original clip.

In both scenarios, the graphic content itself remains independently editable from the original clip.

Thanks Paul. Yup, tried the usual copy/paste (and not alt-drag) and the markers are very much not independent I'm afraid. Either way produces the same issue. The only thing I can think is that it is a bug in this version/update (v23.6.8)

Yes, this behavior seems to be a bug. I can confirm that it occurs in version 23.6.5, but it appears to be fixed in Premiere Pro 2024.
