So I realise that Essential Graphics are complicated, but I was thinking that it might not be that difficult to add the stopwatch function to sliders created in Essential Graphics.
Aim/Feature request: Creating an Essential Graphic Template then importing it to Premiere and being able to add keyframes to the sliders in Premiere so that you could essentially animated the variables contained in the sliders.

So here for example I could imagine a stopwatch in the usual location to the left of each slider name and have Premiere "just" change the slider value at each keyframe (affecting the variable targeted by the slider)
So I realise that some functions will be quite complicated to translate from what is essentially After Effects to Premiere, but the sliders seems to be "just" values. So I am hoping that this wouldn't automatically equate to a gargantuan task to implement. The Essential Graphics function is already there and implemented quite well. You can already change the sliders manually and so (to a layman like me) it seems as though adding keyframes (essentially "just" automating the manual slider movement which is already implemented) wouldn't be that hard?
I would love if this could be implemented. It would result in being able to create templates for my co-workers who would just need to edit the slider values and keyframes.
Thanks for your time.
