So what if you could add sound effects to your files
so that way in Premiere Pro, you can just drag your mogrt
into the timeline and sound effects is included?
This is exactly what I'm going to show you how to do in today's video.
Let's get into it.
Hello, everyone, Kelsey, here, and welcome back to GAL today,
I'm going to show you how to create your very own mogrt with sound
effects inside of after effects, and you'll also walk away
learning how to create your own image placeholders inside of the moment.
So for this demo, I'm using a free After Effects
template from mixed kit and mix kit sponsor today's video.
Everything on MIXKIT is 100% free.
There's no caveats.
You can download as many free templates as you want music,
sound effects, stock video, even some stock photos.
So my link is just down below if you want to go check it out.
Yeah, let's go ahead and jump on it.
So first off, let's download this free text message template from mixed kit.
Next, let's download this free sound effects from mixed kit.
It's called long pop.
So now we can open up the text message template in after effects.
And just to note, if you download a template
that's not an after effects file already, let's say it's a mogrt file.
How do you open that up and after effects?
Well, here's what you can do.
first, you need to rename the ending to zip and then double click to unzip it.
And now you'll see a graphic file and rename it to zip again
and then double click to open it.
And then you'll have the original
after effects file that you can open up and after effects.
So that is an important little workaround if you're starting
from a mogrt file and not in after effects file.
So now that we're inside of this text message after effects file, let's
first import the long pop sound effects into the project panel here and now.
In the compositions, you can see that we have a message left
and a message right.
But in order to turn this into a mogrt file with sound effects, we first need
to create a master composition where both of the messages will exist.
So let's click on the new comp icon and I'll call this master messages
and you can choose any frame size you like in this case or choose Full HD 1080P.
And I'll also make
the composition five seconds, which is the length of the animation.
So now we can drag both the left and right message
comps inside of this master comp.
Then we can use the position controls to reposition the messages
so they do not overlap each other.
Then we can move the message right layer over to the right
so that way and animate after the first message.
Next, we can drag an hour long pop sound effects
into the comp and align it with the left message layer.
Then we can play it back, and I think it sounds great and it lines up perfectly.
So let's drag it in one more time for the second animation
and align it with the message right later.
All right. So now that we have the master comp done now, we can go up
to Windows Central graphics to then begin to build our moment.
And it's important to note that the sound
will automatically become embedded into the mogrt file.
So let's choose the primary comp to be the master message comp,
and then we can begin to drag elements into the Essential
graphics panel that we want to be editable in Premiere Pro.
Let's double click on the message left comp to open it up and then once again
open it up until you find the text source layers
and then from the essential graphics.
Let's create a new group and let's call it message one.
And now we can open up the source text layers that we want to add into the comp,
and then we can drag the source text layers directly up into the message
one group and you can rename these fields to something like edit message,
and you can do the same thing for the date and time. Next,
the circle image to make it a placeholder that you can change in Premiere.
We first need to add in a real image, so I'm going to drag and drop my headshot
into the project panel here and place it inside of the placeholder
left comp, and I can delete the other layers as well.
Then I'll resize my photo into frame.
Then I can drag this image into the message one group
as a placeholder and I can call this replace photo, for example.
So now when we go back to the master message comp from the central graphics,
you can see that if I type in new text, you'll see that it automatically resizes.
And that's because this file that we got from Mix
Kit already came with auto resizing expressions built in.
If you want to learn more about after effects, expressions
and how to use them with Mogherini's, you can watch my full course
up here on how to do after effects moments.
All right, now that we've completed all the steps to get message one
into the essential graphics panel, let's repeat the whole process again.
But for Message two, and I'll fast forward as I do that.
So now that that's done, we can give the mogrt a name.
And you can also click on set poster frame here.
So that way it'll show that frame inside of Premiere Pro as the thumbnail.
Next, you can hit export motion graphics template,
and here you can choose to save it into the local templates folder
if you want it to appear in your central graphics panel
automatically on the machine that you're working on.
But if you want to share the moment with somebody else,
you'll want to choose local drive.
So that way you can share that file directly with that other person.
So after you export it now, I'm Premiere Pro.
If you save it to your local templates
folder, you'll be able to search for it right here in the Browse tab.
But if you didn't export it directly into your local templates folder,
you'll need to click on a little plus icon to import the mogrt file
and test it out.
Once you have it, just drag and drop it into your sequence
and you'll see that the sound effects came with it.
And then you can customize the messages
as you like and add in your own placeholders.
If you would like the more advanced version of this moment that I created,
that includes more controls, such as upsetting the colors of the text
bubbles and checkboxes to turn off different elements.
I've created a more advanced version that you can download for free
if you sign up to become a patron, and I've put a link to it just down below.
