Essential Graphics (EG) would be vastly most powerful and hence useful if it had all the features of the full Adobe type engine as used in most other text elements of adobe applications.
Specifically space after and space before paragraphs would be very useful when laying out text based graphics in Premiere Pro.
Also when duplicating elements in EG, It would very good if the duplicate was spawned in the same layer group as the source and in the same position. It would also be great to be able to duplicate elements by holding down option and clicking and dragging on the element like we are able to do in other adobe apps.

Timing glitches in essential graphics have gotten very bad in the past few releases. "Reset duration" is a great feature, but it is not at all complete a fix for this. If I share a project with someone else, chances are pretty good my graphics are going to be broken for them. I have no way to be sure it will for them, and they might not know how to fix it.

I find myself having to reset the duration a lot regardless of what I'm doing, but it does tend to be worse when relinking media. Often after relinking, the graphic is often completely blank until I reset duration.

The most common issue I have is the graphic will just maintain its original timing, so an outro happens in the middle of the clip and then blank. Sometimes the whole clip is blank too.

It's really hard to use the type tool. I'm trying to select text to make it bold and the cursor will select text rows below instead of what im clicking on. Also the Command - B shortcut does not work to make text bold.. you have to select it on the side bar. That's a step backwards. I've tried editing in another text editor then pasting into premiere but essential graphics completely deletes any sizing or bolding I made. it just makes it all one font (not the one i've chosen). It defaults to aligning to the right when My credits were centered in the text editor. Im so frustrated with adobe software. I loved the Legacy titles worked like a dream. Why does adobe think they have the right to mess with a tool that I use to make a living?? I'm paying the same amount of money but the software has been dumbed down. I need a refund. how do I get the word to the S%!T head software idiots at Adobe? 

I would like to edit/open an essential Graphic (.mogrt file) in after effects straight from premiere. It would work very simply by right-clicking a graphic in the essential graphics panel, followed by an option to edit in after effects. You should be able to add any customization to your graphic and hit save an go on about your day. The current process is time-consuming and defeats the purpose of what this Essential Graphics panel accomplishes. The ability to quickly reuse graphics and save time. The instructions you provide in the example I've attached show me there is no other way of accomplishing this. Please update this to make the essential graphics panel a better experience. Also changing names to essential graphics in libraries does not change there name in the essential graphics panel please correct this error.

First of all - Love the ability to replace media within a mogrt. I am VERY appreciative and look forward to build more MOGRTs with this in mind. I'm noticing a few missing functions and a scaling issue but regardless the new feature is incredibly helpful.

1. Footage that is placed in the placeholder that must be scaled up becomes pixelated. This would make sense if the image was 200 x 200 and scaled up 200% but the issue is the footage that is 2000x2000 placed in a tiny area does not scale up appropriately. The only workaround I can find is to take the footage and create a sequence from it, then precomp that sequence and in the newest sequence scale the earlier sequence to how you want. Then with a bit of trial and error take the newest sequence and replace the MOGRT placeholder.




2. In replacing the items and scaling them up they can only exist within the matte size of the original placeholder, that should be fine if everything that is to be replaced is within the same border box as the original. I can envision this being an issue though if  someone uses a horizontal logo placeholder and tries to replace it with a vertical logo.




3. A reset function for each of the individual parameters. Currently the only option is to reset everything.




4. The replaceable Media that acts as a placeholder when you drop a new MOGRT does not have the parameters unlocked. To get them to work you have to replace the asset with the item it is referencing.

When looking for a specific font, you begin to type the font name, but you can only type the first letter. For example, if I want to use a font called French-Script, I type F, and the first one on the list is Fabriche. Than, I have to scroll through dozens of fonts until I get to the one I want. If I'll type r (the next letter of the font's name) it will just "throw" me to the list of fonts starting with r.

Typing several letters is basic, just like when looking for something in a search engine. To get to Adobe you don't just write A, you write ado...

Whenever I apply and manually track an opacity mask over a motion graphic template (also with the Transform effect applied to it) and try to export the 4K timeline in 1080p H.265 using the Media Encoder preset, all exports from that timeline fail. When the mask is removed, the timeline exports perfectly. I was able to recreate it in two instances (screenshots of timeline and errors from Pr and ME attached) but did not try exporting in anything other than H.265 1080p. This is a 4K timeline that the custom motion graphic template is in; I did not try anything else but at least I know this specific configuration does not export successfully. This is on Windows 10 with full hardware acceleration enabled on a GTX 1050 Ti. I have not tried it on my Mac nor with software encoding only.

I've been testing the ability to easily make Color Palattes available to our editors in Premiere Pro. One option is to look at the colors in the library, and manually type in the hexcode associated (since we can not use the eyedropper to select the colors from the Library). This is inefficient, so I have tried a second method. I created a mogrt that displays the 10 colors as squares. This would work great since its an easy overlay in our program monitor that could be referenced EXCEPT the colors are inaccurate! I've made sure my AE project is in the same color space as Premiere, but the colors still do not correctly display. If I take an eyedropper selection of the on-screen color, it does not match the hexcode of the target color (even if there is a color control in my essential graphic that is correct). Please fix this since it should just be a specific data point and/or allow us to color pick from the swatches in the Library Panel in Premiere.

This image with the clearly defined colors is how the colors appear in After Effects. The version where you see the colors fan out across the spectrum is how they display in Premiere.
