Per @Kevin-Monahan 's request below, I have split 4 feature requests into 4 separate posts. This is now post 1 of 4. It concerns the captioning and text essential graphics features in Premiere.
Note: I wrote this in response to a helpful walkthrough video from Premire Gal, which I reference below. Seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj8BHDQdCy8
Idea:
re: text background drawing. Reels and tikok draw ONE background shape around the perimeter of all lines. all one consistently curved and connected shape. The "per-line" + padding technique demonstrated by Premire Gal here is good, and very close! But, it's still a workaround. would be good to get the real thing from Adobe as a formal setting.
