We want to be able to add gradients, scene features, and apply multiple shadows to text (as with legacy titles).

It is inevitable that legacy titles will disappear someday.
However, we want at least the features equivalent to legacy titles to be included in Essential Graphics.
For that purpose, I want to be able to add a gradient scene function and apply multiple shadows.
The Essential Graphics text tool has evolved significantly with the April 2019 update. Especially in Japan, joy was raised. Later, if you evolve a little more, it will create great value in the Japanese video production world.

エッセンシャルグラフィックステキストツールの充実

私たちはテキストに対して、グラデーションやシーン機能の追加、シャドウの複数適用ができるようになってほしい（レガシータイトルができていたように）。

レガシータイトルがいつかなくなってしまうのは仕方がない。
しかし、少なくともレガシータイトルと同等の機能が、エッセンシャルグラフィックスに搭載されてからにして欲しい。
そのためにも、グラデーション・シーン機能の追加、そしてシャドウの複数適用ができるようになって欲しい。
エッセンシャルグラフィックスのテキストツールは、2019年4月のアップデートで大きく進化した。特に日本では喜びの声が上がった。後もう少し、進化をしてくれると日本の映像制作世界の中で大きな価値を生み出すでしょう。

If Legacy title tool is going away, please add it's functionality to the essential graphics panel. I'm a very avid user of the legacy title tool and I find that I'm infinitely more proficient and efficient when using the legacy title tool vs the essential graphics panel.

If adobe is going to force us users to switch to the Essential graphics panel in future updates, I would great appreciate some of the key functionality of the legacy title tool being implemented into the essential graphics tool.

Specific features:
- In Legacy Titler (LT), the user has a line tool to create a very simple line either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Essential graphics only gives us the option of a rectangle which you have to then approximate into a line if you need a line. Also LT gives us the ability to control the width/weight of the line with a number, making it even easier to create said line.
- in the same idea, LT gives us shape tools like the circle tool which we can use to create a perfect circle by holding down the shift key while clicking and dragging. Essential graphics has an ellipse but when it is selected, the shape isn't a perfect circle and theres no easy way that I can find to make it a perfect circle.
- Alt+Click and drag to duplicate. In LT, you can click on a shape, line or text while holding the Alt key and duplicate that item. Essential graphics does not have this functionality.
- Inner/Outer stroke: In LT, the user can choose to create a stroke on the outside of an object or the inside. The outer stroke creates a rounded edge on sharp corners. In the Essential graphics, the stroke option seems to only limit the user to an inner stroke which creates a very sharp corner and may not always be the desired choice.
- LT has the "*****" parameter for text, which is very useful. I cannot find the same parameter in the Essential graphics panel.
- Fill options: LT gives us the ability to choose bevels, gradients, solid and eliminate fills while Essential graphics seems to only give us the option of a solid fill or no fill. Those extra options could be necessary to someone.
- Back to the shape options, the Pen tool is present in LT while it is not an option in the Essential graphics.

I hope someone from adobe sees this and at least considers the idea. I'm sure I'm not alone in this need for these features to be available in Premiere. As it stands, I'm simply unable to get the same results with Essential Graphics that I can easily achieve in LT.

You are planning to remove the old title tool, yet Essential Graphics still cannot properly do the same things. I am trying to create a proper credit roll. I am clicking and dragging the text box to create a "paragraph text box." However, when I try to paste all my text into that box, it pastes the first part. As I drag the bottom of the box to include all the text, with every expansion of the text box, the graphics panel becomes less and less responsive. Can this be fixed before you delete the old title tool. What would have taken me a few minutes in the old title tool has now taken me 20 minutes, plus this letter, to still not properly be able to do a long form credit roll. I'm begging you! PLEASE make EG as functional as the old title tool.

This is running on a 6-core Windows Intel box with 32GB RAM and an nVidia GTX1080

The Warp Stabilizer tool should have built-in masking tools for users to be able to decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization! (i.e. ability to ignore from analysis certain moving objects that can throw stabilization out of whack.)

TIP You can already decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization!

But it takes a few steps:
1. Mask out parts of the clip you want Warp Stablizer to ignore using Opacity effect mask(s).
2. Nest masked clip.
3. Apply Warp Stabilizer to nest.
4. Once the clip is stabilized, open nest.
5. Turn off Opacity effect so entire clip can be seen again.
6. Exit nest.

Voilá! Near After Effects-level stabilization inside of Premiere Pro!

If Warp Stabilizer had built-in masking tools, those 6 steps above could be reduced to only 2 steps! Plus, this trick would be a lot more discoverable. As a bonus, it could potentially allow WS to analyze masked clips quicker, since it would have fewer moving pixels to analyze! This would be a win-win for users!

We read all the forums and the threads here and everywhere else to help Media Manage footage out per network deliverables - without any errors. Has anyone been lucky enough to actually get to the end without an error? Not just today, but ever? Finally resorted to asking Adobe for help - and the answer is to upgrade to the newest version from last month - not that anything has changed in the Project Manager. But before we even attempt to help you, upgrade. Just completely unacceptable, as thousands of posts in the past X number of years make it clear that this feature is just plain useless. We are in 14.4, from in Sept 2020, not some ancient version from 1998. Has Prog Manager code been updated since then? The issue is Adobe just plain ignoring the fact that this feature DOES NOT WORK and doing nothing about it, but stringing its paying customers along.

I would like to report a bug I just discovered in the new Premiere Pro 15.

I switched to PP version 15 to take advantage of better closed captions control in the editor. The workflow was fine and worked great until I closed the project and reopened it. Now I have two closed captions boxes overlapping each other. The box underneath is the one I created. The one on top and slightly offset is the "ghost" caption. It looks like it came from the old caption platform style. I have recreated it by starting a new blank project, importing a video clip and creating a new caption in the timeline. It looks great until I close and reopen the project. Again, I get the second box overlapping, or on top of the one I created. I ran some tests and it appears that this "ghost" box only shows up in the Program window of Premiere. I can export a video from the project and burn in the captions and only the caption I created is there. I also turned off the captions I created and the "ghost caption" does not show up in the exported video. Although it still shows up in the Program monitor in Premiere. I can even delete all captioning tracks in the timeline and the "ghost" caption still shows up in the Program monitor.
I'm working on a new iMac about 6 months old. OS - 10.15.7, 40 Gb of RAM and 8 Gb VRAM AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT graphics card.

Attached is a screenshot of the issue.

Right now it's a little clunky and difficult to editor captions/transcripts.

First, if I try to edit the transcript, the field box is constrained and doesn't allow me to expand the dimensions of the box. So if I want to make a change to the text, I need to click inside the box and press the down arrow button several times to get to where I want to be (and to be able to see it).

The other issue is that I can't change transcripts/captions on the fly. I have to make several clicks to stop the video, go in and click in the text field, make the change in the text, click out of it and hit play to keep going. It would be great to have less clicks to be able to just hit stop or play and change the text without having to click in several places.

Imagine if every time you started a new Pr project, the Project window came pre-populated with intelligent Bins that automatically sort and organize media you import or create within Pr… Imagine all of your titles automatically going into a ‘Titles’ Bin and all of your nests appearing in a ‘Nests’ Bin rather than just randomly appearing all over the Project window. Imagine if you could spend more time actually editing and less time on menial tasks such as manually dragging files into relevant Bins to keep your project organized.

Thankfully, this already IS possible! One of the great features in Pr’s #1 plugin, Excalibur (https://knightsoftheeditingtable.com/excalibur), is the ability to have nests automatically appear in a ‘Nested Clips’ Bin. This Bin can be renamed and moved and the automatic connection remains. Unfortunately, Excalibur can’t organize all media types due to limitations with what 3rd party plugins can do.

This is where Adobe comes in. Please see the illustration to understand how a new ‘Smart Bins’ tab in the Preferences window could work.

A few things to point out:
1. Not all users will want all of their assets automatically organized. That is why my proposed solution would allow users to enable automatic sorting on an asset per asset basis. Should a user not want any automatic sorting whatsoever, they could easily turn it off completely.
2. Users could create sub-Bins inside of Smart Bins. For example, an ‘Audio’ Smart Bin could have 3 sub-Bins for ‘Music’, ‘SoundFX’ and ‘Voice Overs’. Any audio files automatically collected by the Audio Smart Bin would appear into that Bin’s root level. If a user later wants to move assets into one of the sub-Bins, or even outside the Smart Bin altogether, they would be free to do so.
3. If a user drags media directly into a Project window Bin to import it, it would appear in that Bin, disregarding any Smart Bin asset associations. Dragging media into the Project window’s root level however would automatically sort any media with an associated Smart Bin.
4. Smart Bins would be easy to recognize in the Project window since each one would have a user definable Label.
5. A single Smart Bin could collect 2 or more asset types. This would be handy, for example, to gather all titles (Source Graphics and Legacy Titler titles) or all video files (both with and without audio) into a single Bin.
6. Search Bins are NOT a substitute for Smart Bins! Search Bins don’t collect any files and therefore don’t help keep the Project window organized. Search Bins also can’t be automatically created with every new Pr project.
7. Humans have the technology to fly a drone on Mars. Isn’t it time we saw a little more intelligent tools in Premiere Pro to eliminate tedious tasks that could easily be automated?!

Smart Bins would help virtually all editors, so hopefully this idea gets attention before Adobe introduces any more niche tools that only serve some editors.

Like this idea? Want to save editing time? Then remember to participate by commenting and voting!

Open captions are becoming increasingly popular in online video and social media, with a lot of different styles employed to make videos stand out.

For example, different colours or fonts per user, per-title animations, transitions between the titles, and unusual positions based on who is speaking.

This is not currently possible with the captioning tool, which restricts your ability to edit titles within the capabilities of the caption format you are working in.

Instead, users have to rely on third-party tools to convert a caption file to graphics or titles; or have to manually create Essential Graphics titles for each caption, unable to take advantage of the better text-entry and title timing workflow available in the caption tool or the upcoming automatic transcription feature.

Further, while some welcome changes have been made to the 2021 captioning tools, it's broken some 'workarounds' that users previously made use of to allow them to position and manipulate titles outside of the restrictions of the captioning workspace as the titles are no longer an editable 'clip'.

Having a feature to convert captions directly into Essential Graphics titles will open up the possibility for much more fine control over burned-in captions by allowing them to be edited with the Essential Graphics features on a per-title basis; while still giving users the high-speed workflow of the captioning system for the initial creation of the captions.

In Transcript: Export to text file.. To make this useful it needs to take CLIP NAME (when multiple clips on sequence timeline i.e. all takes) and most importantly TIMECODE info across so my (old school) documentary director can make a paper edit from interviews etc. Then provide me with clip names and time codes to build the assembly. (often barked down the phone!)

If I was self-directing and doing a project entirely within Premier. fine, I wouldn't need to export anything.
But filmmaking is a collaboration and the director doesn't want to touch the edit program but happy to look at script text in Word or similar.

If the exported text file looked the same as what I see in the Transcript window that would be perfect. With Speaker (Custom)name/number, line number (too perhaps somehow from captions window - v.useful if document page number isn't instantly possible when A4/letter formated/ printed out to a hard copy), AND TIMECODE!!

Thanks,
Mark

My first test and the AI worked amazingly on a boomed IV clip to get nearly all text correct! Exciting times!

After Effects users can zoom and move their Composition around by scrolling or click dragging their mouse's middle button.

This is extremely helpful, so why not have the same features in Premiere in the Program and Source Monitors?

Wherever possible, Adobe should strive to provide the greatest amount of compatible features between programs!

ps. Adobe rep Bruce Bullis need not respond with another silly comment as he did to decline another FR requesting the same thing: "Most users don’t have middle mouse buttons, which makes it hard for us to rely on its presence." If there's enough AE users with a middle button mouse to warrant decent middle button features, there surely are more than enough Pr users who use a middle button mouse as well! ;) Thank you for taking our FRs seriously and not further insulting our intelligence.
