Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way but how do you copy and paste text in Graphic templates? Is this a bug or a feature? I've had to manually enter information.

    You can of course copy/duplicate a graphics "clip" on the sequence and paste that elsewhere in the sequence. As noted by Phillip, if you've made the graphics through the EGP but not saved as a mogrt, you can simply copy any line or group from the EGP's edit panel and paste onto another graphics clip Edit panel.

     

    So ... which you're working with, and what you're doing to it ... matter for helping you.

    I'm not able to see the pic you tried to link.

    It may depend on how the template is set up that you're trying to use. If it's simply presets created with Essential Graphics, then you can copy and paste the text layer (inside the Essential Graphics panel). If it's a .mogrt file, then you can only edit the parameters that have been assigned to the template. You can copy and paste the whole clip, but not individual parts of that clip.

      I am using Adobe Premiere Pro v23 (Mac OS Monterey) with 128gb memory, 32TB server, and 1TB SSD drive. Sorry, Phillip, but this absolutely does NOT work, not with the Title Tool creating a blank text window, nor in the Essential Graphics panel if you wish to update an existing text window.  I'm attaching two screen grabs of the Effects Control panel and of the Essential Graphics panel,  which proves not only that I can't do it, but "Paste" via dropdown menu is GRAYED OUT, so there's no choice but to do it by hand.  Ugh.  Anyone have any ideas on this?  I'm working on a documentary with lots of text cut/paste with titles and this is a real workflow killer. 


      If you copy in the EGP you also paste in the EGP and not the ECP.
