Theresa,
First, thanks for the very fast reply, and all the help you are providing users on the forum. Your efforts are both noted and appreciated here. That said first, as it's Important! ... I also wish to add some comments.
The Properties Panel's new (in Premiere) "context aware" nature is confusing for a lot of users. Stuff isn't there until you select the right thing.
Well, what is the right thing isn't always as obvious to everyone, is it?
As just one example, having most of the tools for text editing available, but not the credit roll, and then, requiring de-selecting the text, to get the credit roll options to show ... for that same text?
Sorry, but it just does not seem at all intuitive for some of us.
You de-select the text ... to get the full controls for that text.
Personally, the basic logic tree there escapes me. I can deduce that the logic must be that "roll" is a 'clip' property, not a specifically text property.
But that logic makes no usable sense for me. And further, it requires an additional step by the user that seems totally unnecessary ... if it was simply "there" to begin with, we wouldn't have to do another mouse click to get it showing.
And I will add, that I've got rather more experience sorting out Premiere's mogrt text/graphics stuff since it was first appearing years ago, than most users. I've even got a credit in the Jarle Leirpoll ebook "Making Mogrts" for working on that book creation. Wow, that's awhile back now ... 😉
