How to add templates to Premiere Pro
Before you begin, you’ll need:

- A project with at least one sequence
- Your favorite mogrt file downloaded from Mixkit
How to Import the motion graphics
- Open your project in Premiere Pro
- Click Graphics at the top
- Find the Essential Graphics panel on the right side of the screen. If it’s not open already, go to Window > Essential Graphics
- In the right-bottom corner of the panel click on the little template icon “Install Motion Graphics Template”
- Browse to the location of your mogrt file and select it, then click Open
- The motion graphics file may now be found in the Essential Graphics panel under Browse
Tip: If you have more than one mogrt to install speed up the import by putting the mogrt on your Motion Graphics Templates system folder. Here’s where to find the folder:
MAC: username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Motion Graphics Templates
Windows (PC): AppData/Roaming/Common/Motion Graphics Templates
How to Edit a Mogrt
- Drag a mogrt from the Essential Graphics panel to timeline.
- Click the Edit tab in the Essential Graphics panel. Here you may customize styling such as the colors, fonts, font sizes and even positioning of the call out anchors.
