Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way but how do you copy and paste text in Graphic templates? Is this a bug or a feature? I've had to manually enter information.

You can of course copy/duplicate a graphics "clip" on the sequence and paste that elsewhere in the sequence. As noted by Phillip, if you've made the graphics through the EGP but not saved as a mogrt, you can simply copy any line or group from the EGP's edit panel and paste onto another graphics clip Edit panel.

 

So ... which you're working with, and what you're doing to it ... matter for helping you.

I'm not able to see the pic you tried to link.

It may depend on how the template is set up that you're trying to use. If it's simply presets created with Essential Graphics, then you can copy and paste the text layer (inside the Essential Graphics panel). If it's a .mogrt file, then you can only edit the parameters that have been assigned to the template. You can copy and paste the whole clip, but not individual parts of that clip.

I've tried pasting it in the timeline which doesn't work.

Right. You have to do it inside of the Essential Graphics Panel.

That's if the template was designed in this way.

 

If it looks like this:

Then you can't copy and paste the text.
