MOGRTs are not properly importing to Premiere

I had to reinstall Windows due to a freak power outage that messed up my computer from booting. Luckily Windows made a backup of my old files, so after reinstalling Premiere Pro I copy-pasted my old MOGRTs into my new Adobe’s “Motion Graphics” folder. But some of the MOGRTs don’t show up in the “Graphics Templates” window in Premiere.

If I use the “Install Motion Graphics template” button to re-add the mogrt, Premiere says it’s a duplicate of a mogrt they already have. But if I delete it from the Template folder, then try to add it back through the same install button, I get a different error saying the mogrt is incompatible with Premiere and I need to update Premiere to it’s latest version.

 

Just one problem: I’m already on the latest version of Premiere. And I originally made these templates years ago on older versions of Premiere so it doesn’t make sense that my current 2026 version isn’t current enough to import them.

I followed old forum posts advice and tried installing older versions of Premiere I had at the time of making those MOGRTs to try exporting them but I get the same “latest version” error above. And I tried emptying Premiere’s cache and reset preferences but they didn’t work either. Any other ideas on what I should do?

      Hi ​@Ahmet26047475ozev 
       

      Sorry to hear about the power outage. Based on your description, I'm wondering if the issue is less about the Premiere version and more about either the recovered MOGRT files themselves or Premiere's Motion Graphics database becoming confused after the restore.

      A few questions:

      • Are the affected MOGRTs ones you created yourself in Premiere Pro, or were any created in After Effects?
      • Do the problematic MOGRT files work on another machine?
      • Approximately how many templates are affected? All of them, or only certain ones?
      • If you create a brand-new MOGRT today and export it, does that new template appear normally in the Graphics Templates panel?

      Since Premiere reports them as duplicates when they exist in the folder, but incompatible when you try to import them manually, I'd be interested to know whether the files themselves are intact.

      As a test, try moving all custom MOGRTs out of the Motion Graphics Templates folder, launch Premiere, verify the templates disappear from the panel, then attempt to import a single affected MOGRT using the "Install Motion Graphics Template" button.

      If that still produces the "update Premiere" message, could you upload one of the affected MOGRT files? That would help determine whether the file is damaged or whether Premiere is misidentifying its version requirements.

      Here to help

      We had issues with Mogrts not being able to import from a local drive.  But if we save it up to the adobe library, it imported without a problem.  I can only think this is a premiere bug.
