in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

The Grid effect, along with several other legacy effects, has been removed from the latest version of Premiere Pro (24.6) as part of ongoing updates.

You can find more details and alternatives in this help article that explains which effects were removed and what you can use instead.

Same here too WHY did they remove it???

[R Neil Haugen]

Ancient code, with very little use by the vast majority of users. That's the issue with most of the effects put in the Obsolete bin.

Which was created in about 2018. So we've had long notice that at some point those were disappearing.

If you describe how you were using the effect, we can suggest an alternative.

Aligning text to make sure it's centered on screen.

That should be pretty easy to recreate. Do you have a screenshot of how you used to do this in the previous version of Premiere?

Thanks - yes it's simple. It's really just a grid. But it's weird that it was eliminated since it is a valuable tool if you're working with art directors who want to make sure their type is perfectly aligned. I edit commercials.

It would be helpful to see a visual of what you're describing, but otherwise, I can suggest this workflow:

1. Graphics and Titles > New Layer > Rectangle
2. In the Essential Graphics panel, set the shape's height and width to match your sequence. Add a center stroke.
3. In the Effects panel, search for the Replicate effect and add it to your graphics clip.
4. In the Effect Controls panel, increase the Count number.
5. If you need more columns and rows, duplicate the Replicate effect and adjust the Count number again.

If you use this effect often, save it as a Motion Graphics template: Graphics and Titles > Export as Motion Graphics Template.

However, if you're using it for checking the alignment of text, it may be helpful to use guides instead of a grid effect. In this video, I describe how to quickly create grid-style guides with Photoshop and then import them into Premiere: https://youtu.be/qlvPtvk9WLc
