How to centre align a graphic in Premiere Pro 2025?

[Maija27966082j8us]

Hi! I'm having an issue with aligning graphics.

I'm used to aligning graphics using the essential graphics tab. Now that the alignment has been placed in the 'properties' tab, I can see that it works for aligning text, but I have a PNG overlayed and it doesn't give the option for alignment tools, unless you adjust the x and y axis manually. I read on another discussion that it is now context aware, but I don't understand why it won't let me centre a graphic element like a png? Appreciate any expertise, I'm a novice with Premiere Pro on a good day.

Thanks!

Hi there! Unless your PNG is part of a graphic, Premiere does not offer yet alignment via commands. BUT: You can just drag the PNG in the Program Monitor while holding down cmd/ctrl and that will enable snapping. Hope that helps!
