After Effects must be installed. I'm now experiencing the 'After Effects must be installed to import this file.' I first noticed it in a new project where I had created a Motion Graphics Template in AE and added it to the Essential Graphics Panel. When trying to use the template in Premiere, it couldn't recognize that AE was installed.

The latest news and updates from 2020’s Adobe Max conference, including quick export for Premiere Pro and Roto Brush 2 for After Effects.

2020 might have taken away in-person film festivals and conferences, but that doesn’t mean innovation and updates are on hold in the film and video industry. Adobe Max 2020 (which is both digital and free this year, from Oct. 20-22nd) is in full swing and the brand has plenty of major updates to its legacy applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects and its growing Creative Cloud.

Let’s take a look at some of the updates, news, and highlights of interest to film and video professionals as Premiere Pro gets faster, After Effects gets smarter, and the Cloud gets bigger and better than ever.

Updates to Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe has announced their latest update to Premiere Pro with version 14.5. It’s set to further speed up their NLE platform with added support for AMD and Intel GPUs to go along with their already updated ProRes RAW support from earlier this year. This new hardware decoding update will allow for H.264/H.265 formats with the above GPUs on Windows to help speed up Premiere Pro across the board. Here are the rest of the major updates:

• Updated audio pre-roll for faster and more responsive playback for larger projects.
• Support for HDR workflows that use Rec.2100 PQ color working space for both Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• ARRI ProRes now allows color management and the ability to work with embedded LUTs (including switching between Rec.709 LUTs and HLG LUTs).
• Added support for ProRes RAW to LOG color space conversion across the cloud.

Adobe has also unveiled new technology for a “quick export” feature that will allow for users to quickly (obviously) and easily export their most frequently used settings directly from the platform’s header bar, without going through the multiple steps currently involved. You’ll also be able to customize settings and quickly match source settings or go with a default high-quality H264. The quick export is available as part of the new Premiere Pro Beta.

Updates to Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects is also getting a boost with updates that include a new mode for working smarter — and more skillfully — with 3D tools. As you can see in the video demonstration above, these new 3D tools are all about “quality of life” for those interested in working specifically with complex 3D layers and will improve how these layers can be transformed and changed at the most basic and core levels. Here are the big new features:

• 3D Transform Gizmos
• Improved Camera Tools
• Real-time 3D Draft Preview
• New 3D Ground Plane

Along with the new updates for 3D tools, Adobe has also unveiled a new Roto Brush 2 for After Effects. This new technology, which is powered by Adobe Sensei, presents an even greater way for users to separate foreground objects from their backgrounds with more precisio. Roto Brush 2 is a major update from the previous iteration and also allows for frame-by-frame object tracking and much smarter propagate selection over time. All said, this should speed up many creative tasks to help create some very cool effects.

Similar to some of the updates for Premiere Pro, you can access all these new features in the new Adobe Beta before they all eventually make their way into the next updates.

Updates to the Creative Cloud

Plugins are getting a major overhaul for the next generation of the Creative Cloud.

As always with a major conference like Adobe Max, the brand has plenty of updates across the huge array of apps and platforms available as part of their Creative Cloud. From updates for improving Photoshop and image manipulation, to new collaboration elements and curated collections, there’s a lot to check out. Here are some of the biggest highlights for those that cross-over with video production.

• Live Streaming: you can now livestream your work from Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fresco.
• Photoshop Discover panel: new troubleshooting help for Photoshop using Adobe Sensei’s AI to better help those stuck.
• Accelerate collaboration: new collaboration tools across the cloud for those working remote or stuck at home.
• Cloud Documents: quick sharing between Photoshop, Illustrator and Fresco with new cloud documents.
• Neural filters in Photoshop: change expressions, skin tones and clean up images in a few clicks with new Neural Filters in Photoshop.
• Innovation in 3D & immersive creation: augment reality experiences continue to improve and expand in the cloud with Adobe Aero for more powerful 3D effects.
• New ways to access and use plugins: Adobe’s plugin system is getting a major upgrade with how you can find, install and keep up with all available plugins for every platform.

Overall, these new overhauls to the Creative Cloud, along with the major updates to Premiere Pro and After Effects should be great news for all those who are already on the platform, as well as those who are interested in checking it out.

Motion Graphics templates are a file type (.mogrt) that can be created in After Effects or Premiere Pro.

Motion Graphics templates allow a motion designer working in After Effects to encapsulate a complex After Effects project (.aep) into a single file with easy-to-use controls that can be consumed and customized in Premiere Pro.

Titles and graphics can also be created in Premiere Pro and exported as a Motion Graphics template (.mogrt) for future reuse or sharing.

The .mogrt file format allows motion designers working in After Effects to retain stylistic control of compositions, while providing editors working in Premiere Pro the ability to customize the motion graphic in the context of an editorial project.

The author of a Motion Graphics template in After Effects can make a whole range of properties available within the template, like the ability to make dynamic changes to text, color, and layout.

When the After Effects-created Motion Graphics template is opened in Premiere Pro, all those properties are revealed in the Essential Graphics panel. The editor can then adjust the content in Premiere Pro without time-consuming back-and-forth between the applications.

To add a Motion Graphics template from the Essential Graphics panel, open Essential Graphics panel and click the Browse tab.

Select the Motion Graphics template that you want to use and drag it into a video track in your sequence.

The Motion Graphics template creates a track item in your sequence.

• Premiere Pro could show media as offline until the template completes loading.
• If the template that you added requires fonts that have not been installed, you can replace the fonts with the available fonts.

Select the graphic in your timeline to edit it. You can customize and adjust the parameters of the Motion Graphics template in the Essential Graphics panel under the Edit tab.

Note:

Some Motion Graphics templates (.mogrt files) require After Effects to be installed.

For more information about about using Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro, see Using Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro.

• You can get Motion Graphics templates from Adobe Stock for free or purchase. You can search for Motion Graphics templates from Adobe Stock within Premiere Pro in the following ways:
  • In the Browse tab of the Essential Graphics panel, select Adobe Stock, then enter your search term.
  • Open the Libraries panel. Enter your search term, and filter for Motion Graphics templates by using the check box next to Templates.
• Visit www.stock.adobe.com, search for Templates, and select the Premiere Pro filter available under search options to limit the search for Motion Graphics templates.
• Premiere Pro also ships with sample Motion Graphics templates that were created in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Motion Graphics templates (.mogrt) are available regardless of what project you have open. This is similar to how fonts installed on your computer are available regardless of what project you work on.

Motion Graphics templates stored in your Creative Cloud Libraries do not need to be installed in order to use them.

Click the Install Motion Graphics Template button at the bottom of the Essential Graphics panel Browse tab, or choose Install Motion Graphics Template available from the Graphics menu.


Installing a Motion Graphics template from the Essential Graphics panel

This adds the Motion Graphics template to your local Templates folder so that it is available for use across your Premiere Pro projects.

For more information about installing and using Motion Graphics templates in your Premiere Pro projects, see Using Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro.

Motion Graphics templates can be created in either After Effects or Premiere Pro. For more information about creating Motion Graphics templates, see the following pages:

• Creating Motion Graphics templates using Essential Graphics panel in After Effects
• Essential Graphics Panel in Premiere Pro

Yes, you can create graphics natively in Premiere Pro using the Essential Graphics panel, and export these graphics as Motion Graphics templates (.mogrt files) for sharing or reuse without installing After Effects.

For more information, see Essential Graphics Panel.

When exporting a Motion Graphics template, you can choose to save it to your Creative Cloud Libraries for easy collaboration, to your Local Templates folder on disk, or to another location on your local drive.

Some Motion Graphics templates require After Effects to be installed to customize them in Premiere Pro. You need a trial or licensed version of After Effects installed on your computer. You do not need to purchase After Effects to use Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro.

In your Essential Graphics panel in Premiere Pro, Motion Graphics templates that require an install of Adobe After Effects or an upgrade to the version of After Effects on your computer displays the following icon:

If the Motion Graphics template you bring in to your sequence requires After Effects to be installed, or if you do not have a compatible version of After Effects installed, you see an error message:

Adobe Premiere Pro And After Effects Price

This Motion Graphic template was created in After Effects. To use this template in Premiere Pro, please install After Effects (trial or license) and retry. Learn more at adobe.com/go/mgt.

If you see this message, you need to install a compatible version of After Effects in order to use the Motion Graphics template.

• If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, the After Effects subscription is already included in the plan. Download it from your Creative Cloud application.
• If you have a Single-App license of Premiere Pro, you can install the trial version of After Effects. As long as After Effects remains installed even after your trial expires, you can continue to use the Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro.
  

Adobe Premiere And After Effects Bundle

If you only have Premiere Pro installed on your computer, and not After Effects, when you try to open the Premiere Pro project containing a Motion Graphics template created in After Effects, you see a notice that says that the media file is 'Offline'. To work with this project, you need to install an After Effects license (trial or licensed version). See the note above on how to do this.

It depends. Many Motion Graphics templates do not require After Effects to be installed to customize them in Premiere Pro. However, some Motion Graphics templates use effects that are not supported natively in Premiere Pro and thus require After Effects to render.

If you are using the latest version of Premiere Pro but have an older version of After Effects installed on your computer, the media file shows as 'Offline' in the sequence, and Motion Graphics templates in your Essential Graphics folder could display a warning icon indicating that an After Effects install or upgrade is required. To use these Motion Graphics templates, install the latest version of After Effects (trial/licensed version) using the instructions below.

Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html to install After Effects.

Adobe Premiere And After Effects

If you have the Creative Cloud (CC) desktop application installed, you can install After Effects directly from the application.
