Possible to add additional shapes to Essential Graphics?

Peter,

The best quick reference to get started creating Ae mogrts ... and understanding what and why you're doing things ... is the Making Mogrts free ebook hosted (and given away) by Adobe. It was written by noted editor/everything Jarle Leirpoll and as he was having the Adobe team check it out prior to publication, they decided to buy it out and provide it to their user base.

I was the grammarian/spell-checker and a general tester for the writing of the book, and it was a blast working with Jarle. It's easy to understand, includes all the steps to do anything it discusses ... it's training from Jarle, who always wants to figure out how to get any particular job done fastest, most reliable, most repeatable, and ... without having to think any more than is necessary. And most importantly, how to continually reuse anything you've spent even five minutes in the making of it.

His other noted work ... the massive tome The Cool Stuff in Premiere Pro is simply the most in-depth and complete manual for working within Premiere made. Over 1200 pages in the real-copy book, though most people work from the ebook form. I've got both. And the lengthy Contents and indexes make it easy to find everything in that massive book.

If you take the pen tool (default key 'p') and draw the shape you want, you'll create an Essential Graphics layer that contains the shape. You can also draw onto an already selected Essential Graphics clip in your timeline. If you'd like, you can save that shape as a preset and you can drag that out to other Essential Graphics clips in the future.
