Templater working with mogrts in Premiere Pro

[ThomasH]

Hello,

I am not yet a user of Templater, as I want to clarify beforehand whether it meets my needs.

I have a mogrt file that we often use as a template in our Premiere Pro projects.
The mogrt is a text animation that is used at various points in the video.

I would like to translate the final video into other languages.

At first glance, Templater seems to be predestined for this, the only problem I see is that there are ultimately several mogrts/After Effects projects and how best to proceed.

Grateful for any advice and hopefully my case is understandable.

Best regards
Thomas

The general process for using Templater with mogrts is usually pretty simple as long as the mogrt files can be opened and rigged in After Effects.

Once the mogrts have been rigged up to a data source and the text can be swapped out as needed, we’ll basically need to keep Premiere and After Effects open simultaneously. In After Effects, we’ll cycle through the preview data using Templater. This should update the mogrt’s text layers, which should be reflected in the Premiere project. From there, each iteration of the data can be exported as needed from Premiere.

Unfortunately, Templater doesn’t have any ability to automate the output process in Premiere, so if we were looking for an entirely hands-off implementation, we’d need to get the project loaded completely into After Effects. Once that was done, Templater Pro or Bot could be used to process the videos in batches using the translated language data.

Hopefully, that helps as an overview, but if there’s a more specific question or concept that we can address, just let us know, and we’ll be more than happy to help out.

Thanks,

Jeff
