The new replaceable media feature in Motion Graphic templates (.mogrt) created in After Effects for use in Premiere Pro is very cool – and easy to use. Once you know one trick. And that trick is HOW to replace the media.
Let me show you.
- Switch to the Graphics workspace.
- Using the Browser feature in the Essential Graphics panel, find the template you want to use and drag it into the timeline.
- Select the template in the Timeline, then click the Edit button in the Essential Graphics panel.
- Twirl down MEDIA REPLACEMENT, then twirl down Media Replacement (yup, it’s listed twice) until you see the placeholder graphic.
- Drag the image you want to insert from the Project/Bin panel on top of the placeholder graphic in the Essential Graphics panel.
- To change the starting time of the inserted video, change the timecode setting for the In, below the image. (Not illustrated in screen shot.)
EXTRA CREDIT
- This will need plenty of time to render.
- You can change the image at any time by dragging a different image on top of the placeholder.
- Trying to change graphics in the Effect Controls panel won’t work.
- For those that know Apple Motion, this feature is the same as using Drop Zones in Motion.
