Text layer not visible in Source Monitor in Production

[Ayush381958464ynj]

I just started using the Production feature in Premiere Pro to save disk space and de-clutter the workspace. When I am working on a project and create a new layer (weather shape or text layer), I can see them in the timeline, Essential graphics panel, or Effects control panel but I can't see them in my source monitor. I can't seem to find where it is stored. I intent to make a copy of it so I can use it in different projects. I am working in PP 2023.

hey, you can drag and drop with ALT key pressed to duplicate it directly on the timeline... cheers

I am doing that but I would really like to know why its not showing in source panel and where is the location. I just want to be ready with backup in case something goes wrong.

did you explore the "export as motion graphics template" option when right clicked? maybe it helps some how for you to back it up. cheers

Graphics created do not go into bins. If you save as a mogrt, they go to the local mogrts folder you specify or to the LIbrary you specify.

If you simply create something on a sequence, it is only metadata from that sequence stored in that seqeunce's metadata.

If you select the graphic in the timeline, you can then use the Graphics and Titles menu to turn it into a Source Graphic, which does have a presence in the project.
