Am now using Essential Graphics to create text in Premiere Pro. Am I crazy, or is there no way to copy text into a new text area and then control its width as you did in Legacy title? Grabing the handles and moving them simply expands or contracts the text box by increasing or decreasing the actual text size - and that's not what the goal is when you want the existing size text to wrap to next line. It worked just fine in Legacy title. Is this a bug or oversight in PP? Also I see no control anywhere to meet this objective in PP.

If you're talking about setting the size of the text box itself, you do that to begin with ... hit T for text, then drag yourself a box in the Program monitor. Put your text in that box.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I'm not sure what exactly you are going for,

but you can still go to File - New - Legacy Title and send us screenshots of

what you really intended to do there that can't be done in the essential graphics

Ann,

Don’t know what you mean “add enter”. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to control the overall width of text keeping any size of text. I’m am trying to simply copy text into that area for doing but can’t control its width.

I’ve copied text into the small place for it - and it just makes huge width. Then handles (even the one you’d think would shrink the length - doesn’t) only increases or decreases text size.

Post screenshots.

Make sure the Vector Motion in the Effect Controls is set to default.
