Anything that the parent does, the child will follow. Think of the text as the parent layer, and the background graphic as the child. Even if I move the text around, the background layer will follow accordingly. Now, when I adjust the text, the background will adjust its size to fit. Since I want it to have my background adjust from all sides, I’ll click the button in the middle just to the right of the Pin To drop-down menu. Once pinned, I’ll need to specify how I want my background to respond to the text layer. Next, I’ll go to the responsive design drop-down menu and pin the background to my map layer. To make this connection happen, I’ll first grab the background layer in the Essential Graphics panel. Once connected, the background will automatically and dynamically adjust to fit my text, saving me a ton of time. Using the responsive design feature for the position will allow me to attach my black background element to my text. To see the position options, simply select a layer. If there are no layers selected, you’ll see responsive design properties for time. The responsive design features are located just below the layers in the Essential Graphics panel. This is where responsive design comes to the rescue. While I can simply duplicate this clip on the timeline and then rename each text layer, I still have the time-consuming process of resizing and realigning the background element with each duplicate text. If I open up the Essential Graphics panel (Window > Essential Graphics) you will see that my graphics clip contains both the text and the black background shape element. This process can actually be quite tedious. So, all I need to do is simply duplicate the graphic and change the name of the country for each duplicate. Everything needs to match, including the font, size, along with the background element perfectly matching the size of the text. The problem I’m facing is the fact that I need to use this same style of title graphic on 100+ other maps.

Take a look at the initial graphic below.

These titles are a simple design, with basic text aligned on a black rectangular background element. I’m working on a project in Premiere Pro where I need to create name titles for a large number of map graphics.
