The Essential Graphics panel in Premiere Pro is where you create, edit, and manage titles, motion graphics templates (MOGRTs), and other graphics elements.
Here's a breakdown of how to access and use the Essential Graphics panel:
Accessing the Essential Graphics Panel
- Windows Menu: Go to the "Window" menu in the top toolbar of Premiere Pro.
- Essential Graphics: Select "Essential Graphics" from the dropdown menu. This will open the Essential Graphics panel.
Understanding the Essential Graphics Panel
The Essential Graphics panel is divided into two main tabs:
- Browse: This tab allows you to browse and import motion graphics templates (MOGRTs) from Adobe Stock, your local drive, or shared libraries. You can search for templates by keyword, filter by category, and preview them before importing.
- Edit: This tab allows you to customize the text, font, color, size, position, and other properties of the graphics you've added to your timeline. You can also add shapes, adjust layers, and create animations.
Using Motion Graphics Templates (MOGRTs)
Motion Graphics templates (MOGRTs) are pre-designed graphics that you can easily customize in Premiere Pro. They are a great way to add professional-looking titles, lower thirds, and other graphics to your videos without having to create them from scratch in After Effects.
- Browse for MOGRTs: In the "Browse" tab of the Essential Graphics panel, you can browse for MOGRTs from Adobe Stock or import them from your local drive.
- Add to Timeline: Once you've found a MOGRT you like, simply drag it from the Essential Graphics panel onto your timeline.
- Customize in the Edit Tab: In the "Edit" tab, you can customize the text, font, color, size, position, and other properties of the MOGRT.
Importing Essential Graphics Templates
To import an essential graphics template from your computer:
- Navigate to the Browse tab in the Essential Graphics panel.
- Click the "+" icon at the bottom of the panel, or select "Install Motion Graphics Template..." from the pop-up menu.
- Locate the ".mogrt" file on your computer and click "Open." The template will be added to your local templates folder and become available in the Essential Graphics panel.
The Essential Graphics panel provides a central location for all your graphic design needs within Premiere Pro, streamlining your workflow and allowing for dynamic and engaging video content.
