@Markus Thank you for your submission. While Pr's Essential graphics tools do not have a depth feature for strokes, I was able to set up a Text appearance very much like what you showed in your screenshot using the Shadow feature with no blur or distance. Here is what that looks like compared to a Legacy Title using an outer stroke with depth.

As long as there is no "depth" function for outer strokes the new titler doesn't do it for me. Especially useful for Japanese as well...

I saw at least two requests in here for Text Gradients and a replacement for the Legacy Titler's "Sheen" feature. I'm happy to announce the implementation of Text Gradients as of the latest public release of PrPro 15.2. Please try it out when you can and let us know what you think.

For information about how to apply Text Gradients as well as a couple of short how-to videos, go to this link:

I agree Jack! Especially the ability to keyframe a title's kerning. It's possible to do this in AE, but it would be faster to simply do it in Pr.

EG is still far behind Legacy Titler in many respects.

Just yesterday I created a title in which I wanted a 4 color gradient fill as well as a Sheen...
Legacy Titler = Easy!
EG = not even close to being possible yet :(

Key frame ability for more text controls would be helpful.

Hello !
Please notice that essential graphic is EXTREMELY SLOW at the export. I thought that this functionality would help for productivity but the export time is bad.

The ability to adjust a fullscreen image with the controls visible would be great like it was in legacy. Making both the controls and the program monitor big at the same time like its already possible to use the tilde key for one window at a time. Just add a button on the graphics panel to do this.

Hi Annika and Nathan, here's something else that should be fixed in the EGP:

Automatically change back to Selection tool when exiting (Esc) text entry (just like it does in the Legacy Titler)

Hope to see you on the Facebook group Annika! :)

Fantastic, Nathan! Thank you so much. And yay for the Facebook group, Perre. I hope it gets a lot of members and attention. Will check it out as soon as I get a chance.

Hi Annika and Nathan,

I truly appreciate the receptivity of your posts Annika, and I appreciate your ideas on how EG could be improved Nathan.

I recently started a FB group dedicated to helping Adobe improve Pr. It isn't a substitute for User Voice, which of course is the official venue for making FRs, but rather it's meant as a social gathering place to discuss new ideas and encourage others to vote for FRs we agree with.

Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1638270639681590/.

I would love to have your thoughts and insights in the group! :)

@Annika Koenig - I appreciate your receptivity to my brainstorming in all of it's conversational tone :)

Annika, I think your advice was wise, so I condensed my thoughts into a new UserVoice request.
If anyone else thinks these could be useful implementations in the Essential Graphics - here's the link to my post for your convenience:

Thanks!

@Nathan B, thanks for your thoughtful post. This thread has starting turning into a good place for discussion. However, I would love to see you turn your suggestions into their own User Voice requests, so we can get some feedback on it through votes. What I read in your post:
- you like warp in Photoshop. So please add a UserVoice request for warp in Premiere Pro
- you like tools from Illustrator and InDesign and think that Premiere is missing some of the tools. What tools or functionality specifically are you missing? Add a UserVoice request for that too!
- Text Effects - what would you picture there? Give me a couple of examples what you would like to see here.

I am interested :)

Hello EG Team! Well, you guys got me (out of fear I re-layed-out my 114 titles oft used in weekly worship services in Essential Graphics). My titling is kind of basic, so I can recreate any effects *normally* needed in the timeline outside of the Legacy Titler (i'm hoping... this is my first weekend of implementation of new bin of Master Graphics set).

You know what would be really nifty~ IF (as others in this -and other- forums have requested) your engineers could integrate other Adobe Applications' tried and true text effects in Premiere. I don't have a lot of time (nor interest) to build up my titles to .mogrts in AE. FOR ME= the PS Warp tool has always been a fun, craftily usable, and dynamic effect. How bout starting with that in Premiere? Then if Essential Graphics is truly supposed to live up to it's name --- Make it an Essential location for textual graphics and add Illustrator, InDesign, and alll the other toolsets' character modules for really building up graphics.

OKAY_ I know Premiere is for EDITING FOOTAGE. But c'mon, with that whole tab for "Graphics" and the whole plethora of text display code (and team of coders) let's bring Premiere into the 21st Century. Ideally implementing "Text Effects" even in the Effects Panel.

I think your users deserve it no less. You've got our subscriptions - and honestly now our attention with EG - Let Us Make Great Videos with it.

p.s. 2 months ago I almost discontinued my Creative Cloud subscription and migrated to Resolve. I was "This close... instead I opted for your multi-screen displays and my History with Adobe. Please don't make me regret it :)

Hi guys! I've added a FR with suggestions for fixing Essential Graphics element resizing. Check it out! https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/41079490-fix-the-way-essential-graphics-resize

・I want you to be able to freely change the size of the character frame.
There are many things I want to use because the screen is full.
・Textures and graphics can be used for character frames
・Be able to double the character frame
・I want you to be able to place graphics in layers

I don't think Adobe understands the actual situation in Japan.
The title has been pretty poor for almost 30 years.

・ザブトンの大きさを自由に変更できるようにしてほしい。画面ヨコいっぱいで使いたい事が多い。
・ザブトンにテクスチャ、グラフイックを使えるように
・文字のフレームを二重にできるように
・レイヤーにグラフィックを配置できるようにして欲しい

Adobeは日本の実情が良くわかってないと思う。
30年近く前からタイトルに関してはかなり貧弱。

No Essential Graphics titles in the Project window... no Deal! Until Essential Graphics titles have ALL of the features found in the Legacy Titler, I will continue to use the Legacy Titler. Adobe, make new tools better, not a cheaper, more limited version of the tool it hopes to someday replace. And make text tracking keyframeable, please! I can do this in AE, but it would be great to be able to do such a simple effect in Premiere Pro.

@James S
thanks for the comment.
Premiere Pro allows you to set multiple strokes for text.
Please allow multiple shadows to be added.
I also want to be able to apply a gradient to the text. (Not the shape layer gradient, it's text!)
The gradation function is desired by many users.

@James S - sorry, my bad, too many late nights! I meant to say that I would like Shadows for graphics that I add to the EG layers - if I drag in a PNG etc., then there is no shadow (I was using a fancy gradient circle I had made elsewhere, but then found I had to recreate it in PPro because I was missing the shadow). Then I found out how I can't make a simple circle and constrain the aspect ratio. (Now THAT is a feature I really need for circular masks for picture-in-picture.) Thanks.

@Trish Meyer Drop Shadow is already supported for Shapes using the latest public version of Pr. The attached image shows you how to enable Shadow for a Shape. Is there some other functionality you need besides that?
