What if I told you that there was a way to customize your motion graphics
templates to your own branding before you even bring it into Premiere Pro,
so you don't always have to make those changes over and over again?
Well, that's what I'm going to show you how to do in today's video.
Let's get into it.
Got it.
Hey, everyone, Kelsey, here and welcome back to Gal in today's video,
I'm going to show you how to take a mogrt file, a motion graphics template.
Open it up inside of after effects.
Make customizations to that and then exported to Premiere Pro.
So that way, it can live inside of your central graphics panel forever,
so you can just drag and drop it, and you don't have to redo those changes
every time.
Now, while templates are great
and all
because you don't have to do the animations,
it is a pain to have to update the font of doing the color
each time you drag and drop it.
So there's a way to work around this.
Now, this particular pack that I'm modifying is from Envato Elements,
and if you guys don't know what Envato Elements is, it's a great creative
marketplace where you can subscribe monthly or annually
to download unlimited number of video editing templates,
whether it's motion graphics, templates, titles, logo reveals or transitions.
It also has stock video and it has graphics templates as well.
And right now there is a limited time sale for Cyber Monday,
with Envato Elements 40% off lifetime.
And what that means is you can get 40% off
monthly plan or an annual plan forever.
So every time you renew that, 40% carries over.
Now, if you miss this sale, of course, you can use my link below
to get 70% off your first month, so there's still a discount available.
All right, so thank you so much to invite elements for sponsoring it.
Without further ado, let's go ahead and jump into after effects.
So here I have the lower third template that
I have chosen that I will be using for this tutorial.
I've already downloaded it,
and normally you would just import these moments in Premiere Pro.
So let me take this downloaded folder.
You can see all of the minimal titles here as Margaret Files.
Normally, you would just take all of them by holding shift
and then importing them into the essential graphics panel here,
which you would then find them by going down here and notice
they'll import as black, which you know, isn't ideal.
You want to see a preview of them, but you would essentially drag
and drop this into the timeline and then you would see it here.
Right now, you can, you know, reduce the scale and you can change the position.
And then you would just
update the shape color, you would have to update the logo,
the font, you'd have to do this each time
you drag it in to the Premiere Pro timeline.
So let's say you want to use this
title every time, but you don't want to update the colors
and make all the changes every single time you drag it into the timeline.
So this is where you can now open up Bogert files inside of after effects.
Before there was some weird workaround where you had to zip
and unzip the file to be able to open it in after effects.
But this is why you need to update to the latest version of After Effects 2022.
So that way, you can do this.
So first you need to go to after effects
and then you're going to go to file open project.
And this is where you can now open up a Mowatt file before you could not do this.
So select title whichever title you want to edit.
I'm going to use Title five and then had open,
and then it will ask you to extract this Melkert file so you can see this anywhere.
I'm just going to call this new title
and save it in
my project folder and select Extract.
And then I will basically extract this mogrt
and you can see from a central graphics.
There's all of these parameters
that allowed us to customize the mugwort and Premiere Pro.
And this is where it was built in after effects.
And if you're working from an after effects template
that doesn't have the essential graphics panel, all the parameters there,
you can watch this tutorial right up here,
and I can show you how to actually put the parameters
in to the essential graphics to make it into a mogrt from the get go.
If you don't have the essential graphics open, go up to window
a essential graphics and from here we can make customizations.
So for example, instead of the Envato logo,
let's say you want it to be a headshot
so you can right click on this here and reveal in timeline.
And you can double click on this comp here.
And this is the actual Envato file.
I'm going to replace this with my headshot.
So let me find my head shot here.
It's inside of my project file.
And I'll drag this in to
the project panel here and drag it into the cop.
And then I will press s on my keyboard to scale this up.
There we go, press p to move it left and right and up and down.
And let's see how this looks by going back to the titles comp here.
If we can get a preview, let's fit it to frames.
We can see it better and that's looking pretty good.
Now we just need to update the colors and the content
to always match what I want it to be when I use this particular title.
So for the colors here, I'm actually going to go to my library
because I have my color theme saved in my library.
And let's go back here,
go to my library and let's go to my Google theme.
Here it is.
So I'm going to right click get info,
and then I can use this dropper tool to select this yellow color.
And since I don't want it to be a gradient, I'm going to select
this other dropper and make it a solid yellow.
And then for the content here, I'm
going to change this to my first name, Kelsey.
And instead of it, I like the Monserrat already,
but instead of it being blue, I think I'm going to make this just white.
But remember, it's a motion graphics templates, if I changed, my mind
can always change that in Premiere Pro later.
But this is just getting us started here and user friendly.
I'm going to change this to my handle.
Premiere
underscore gal.
That's my Twitter and Instagram handle.
You can follow me there.
And instead of black italic italic, let's use
bold italic and let's make this a little bit smaller.
So after I made the smaller, I want to change the position of the text,
but there's no parameter here for me to do that.
There's just the composition position
and the competition scale, which controls the entire graphic.
So here's a core tip if you double click on this parameter here
just in the empty space here, it'll take you to this
particular text inside of the comp.
And here you can press P to go to position,
and I can drag this position underneath this parameter.
And now going back to the title's comp, which is our main comp here,
we can then use this control
to move it over to the left and to the right.
So you can bring this up a little bit and down until it looks right.
So you can add these parameters in here.
And if you want to learn more about
how to add these parameters again, you can watch my full
a series on how to create your own motion graphics templates
or take in after effects template and turn it into a Mogan file.
So this is looking pretty good.
one more thing that I want to change here is let's say that,
you know, this is a 4K title, but if you're if you're not
going to edit in 4K, you don't always want to scale it down to ten.
We can change this here.
So what we can do is go to titles, go to composition settings.
And here we can actually change this to 1920 by 1080.
And this is 1080p resolution and hit OK.
And notice how it crops it down.
What we can do
is we can, you know, scale this back so we can underneath composition
scale here as we can scale this down and then we can move it over.
Let's say we always want the lower third to be on the lower right.
We can, you know, lower this down.
So that way it's
always going to be here in this position and you'll notice it's a little lower rez.
That's because we're at a quarter resolution,
so I can bring this back up to full and it look super crispy now.
So now we have our lower third here.
And if you want to learn how to add sound effects to your mogrt file,
so every time you drag this lower third
and Premiere Pro, it comes with the sound effect.
You can watch this video up here, and the place that I get all of my sound
effects and music for YouTube is epidemic sound.
And actually, right now, epidemic set me up with a 90 day
free coupon for you just entering
Galbi F 2021 at checkout
and you can get 90 days free of sound effects and music .
I also created my own epidemic sound playlist with all of my favorite
lo fi beats, as well as alternative tracks that are great for background music.
For your videos that I use in my videos, I think somebody commented on my video
that I have very like Zen Chill Music, and I love that type of music.
An epidemic has a great selection there, so go ahead and check that out.
So now how to export this?
What we're going to do is you can first of all, you can change the name
if you want something other than Title five, you can say,
you know, go lower third.
Just to make it more memorable, you can set the poster
frame, which is something that the author of this pack didn't do.
Remember Premiere Pro.
We just had a bunch of, you know, black empty frames,
so set that poster time so you can actually preview
what it looks like, which is super helpful.
And then down here to export motion graphics template.
And then I'll ask you to say that.
And now you're going to have a new window where you can choose where to save it
so you can save it to your local templates
folder, which will make it appear automatically in Premiere prose,
the central graphics panel on the device that you're working on.
But if you work on multiple devices, I recommend choosing my library
because if you're signed
into your Creative Cloud account, it'll appear on any device that you're on.
You can also save it to the local drive if you need to send it to somebody
else, like upload it to Google Drive, you can attach it that way.
So I'm going to choose my library because it's the safest
for me at least and hit OK, now back in Premiere Pro,
we can go to browse what we can delete the title we had before,
and we can go to browse and I'm going to choose libraries in this time.
There it is, Gal Lower third, I can see it right here
and drag and drop it into the timeline.
And that's it.
Now it's fully formatted to my style, and I don't have to make all those changes
each time.
I am just drag and drop it, and it's there, so it's like a template already,
but of course, if I need to make any changes I can using these parameters,
so you can do this exact same thing to any template from import elements.
And if you have any issues
with any templates that you download, just leave a comment below,
and I'd be happy to see how I can help you out.
Thank you so much, Envato Elements for sponsoring today's video and providing
all these templates as unlimited access to US creators.
