Essential Graphics not stretching to fill on output
Real quick..
We’ve built a non-16×9 program that is being output to a 16×9 anamorphic file using the stretch to fill option. It works perfectly. Until now.
This is the first time I’ve used the new Essential graphics tool.
On output, everything scales correctly but the graphics. They are locked in place and not transferred to the anamorphic shape. They are ignored by the Stretch to fill command.
Playback is waiting… any ideas?
I have tried adding a null object to the graphic that fill the screen. No help.
thanks

Essential Graphics is a nightmare!!!
Just the fact that you would have to make media for every title is a pathetic move, made by someone who is not an editor with network or cable channel experience.
The developers might want to reach out to we users before they screw us up.
Venting is good.

I do have to agree with you the vast majority of the time. Many things in this product occaisionally SEEMS to be designed by people with no actual editing experience. (Why can’t I make alternate versions of the same timeline with nests without changing both versions? In a professional environment, I need that every day).
This is my first try with essential graphics and it seems to address your point perfectly. Make a title on the timeline, copy and past it, change the second one and the first remains unchanged. It doesn’t seem to make media. No duplicating the clip, renaming it, editing it then dropping it back in the timeline. This is a good thing.
Now if it would just output correctly….

No after effects involved. I just used the title tool to make the title in premiere.
So I guess my answer would be “I don’t know.” It sound like you have an idea.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

I think everyone needs to let Adobe know “not” to get rid of the old titling system. I think the Essential Graphics Panel is pure BS. It lacks a lot of features that the old titling system had. I would have preferred Adobe just slightly revamp the old titling tools. I think Adobe wasted time creating something worse than we had yet they did not fix all the bugs. I say send your thoughts to Adobe’s bug report and feature request if you are unhappy with the Essential Graphic Panel . I have.

Are you sending it to AME for rendering? Try rendering our from the PPro Export Settings dialog. You won’t be able to work in PPro while it renders, but I’ve had similar things happen. I had a lower third graphic render on the top of the screen when going to H264. Which reminds me. Are you rendering straight to h264? I would try ProRes or something first, see if that takes care of it.
Sorry, you didn’t share too many exact details.

The text positioning gets all messed up if you use Project Manager to Consolidate the sequence, as well.

Let Adobe know.
