MOGRT File

The MOGRT file format enables the preservation of Motion Graphics templates from the After Effects software for use in Adobe Premiere Pro. It is essentially a complete After Effects project .EAP enclosed in a single file. It features tailored controllers that allow for modifications and use in Premiere Pro, as well as their sharing or reuse. The MOGRT format aims to replace the older AECAP standard.

What Constitutes a MOGRT Template?

A MOGRT template can consist of a variety of components with assigned properties. These often include:

• Graphic parts: text and shapes,
• The layout of elements,
• Movement of elements.

This format is utilized for titles, various overlays, panels, and for adding captions and information. Thanks to the creation of templates, reproducing similar motion graphics becomes simpler and quicker.

Sourcing MOGRT Files for Adobe Programs

MOGRT files can be created both in Adobe After Effects, dedicated to producing moving graphic elements, and in Adobe Premiere Pro, used for video editing. They may be incompatible due to the differences in software versions in which they were created. The software package typically includes a set of templates with the MOGRT extension, by default located in the installation directory, specifically in the Essential Graphics subdirectory. Templates can also be stored in the Creative Cloud Libraries or purchased from the Adobe Stock store. MOGRT files must be installed in Premiere Pro by specifying their location. This does not apply to templates from Creative Cloud.
