The next day I had a few minutes and tried again. I bailed on further attempts due to the tight deadlines my team work under. I was trying to put the template onto v2 over a video clip on v1. Th first time I tried to drop one of the re-exported (from AE 2019) Essential Graphics templates onto a PP 2019 timeline it would not allow me to do so. Is there a way to reload the essential graphics that I am not aware of? Is there a workaround that I didn't try? Other than this one issue nothing else in the sequence was off. Seems odd that CC 2019 can decipher the EG template if I make a new one, but cannot interpret them if they are already in the timeline. The only way I was able to get around it was to open Premiere CC 2018 and make the changes I needed there. The EG templates I made DID NOT have the option to change the font, as they were never intended to have a different font type.The only graphics displaying the wrong font were already in the timeline. If I drag in a new graphic from the EG panel, the font is correct.Tried revealing in the project, making offline, and re-linking.Tried re-exporting the essential graphics files out of After Effects CC 2019 and then re-importing them into Premiere.Tried re-importing the essential graphics template into Premiere and overwriting the file that was there.Here are a few notes that may be helpful in finding a solution. I didn't want to re-do all the graphics as there was a large number of them.would have taken a while. The graphics were all displaying the wrong font and despite my best efforts to resolve the issue, I wasn't able to find a way to force it to show the correct font. Had been running with little issue for several days, until I opened a previous project (CC 2018 based project file) that had essential graphics that I made on the timeline. I recently updated from Premiere/MediaEcoder/After Effects CC 2018 to CC 2019.
