Add the ability to keyframe an imported After Effects MOGRT

It would be extremely useful to be able to keyframe the controls in Premiere Pro for a MOGRT (Motion Graphic Template) created in After FX. I create a template in AFX, add it to CC libraries, I can import this into Premiere and adjust the controls, but I can't keyframe them. This would take the power of MOGRT's to a whole new level.

I have extensively documented the process I'm trying to do here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/255599

Hi -

We do see this thread and have responded multiple times, as recently as a few months ago. We know this is a request, but there are a number of complications and we have not had the capacity to take this on to date.

The link I posted in the description is wrong, for reference it can be found here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/is-there-any-way-to-keyframe-an-ae-mogrt-in-premiere/td-p/10177446

Great to see so much support for this, it's now in the top 50 requests for Premiere Pro features! Disappointing that there's no response from Adobe after 4 years - it really isn't hard just to say "we've noticed but we don't have capacity to work on this yet" so we don't feel completely ignored... but hey.... we're only customers!

Yet another comment to bring this thread back to the top.

I'm experimenting with a complex, adaptive Ae -> Pr essential graphics template for the first time and I am quickly realizing this is impossible without the ability to import the keyframes from Ae to Pr, or the ability to add keyframes to the template in Pr.

Essential graphics is so close to being a truly amazing and powerful tool, adding keyframe features is a small feature that would greatly increase Essential Graphics utility.

*Edit*
What I am thinking of is this: Currently, you can make a EG template from scratch in Pr, set keyframes, set the intro/outro animation segments then, boom, you now have an adaptive template that auto-adjusts as you change the clip's length. That's exactly what I'm wanting, but instead of building it in Pr, I'd like to build it in Ae (which is Adobe's intended program for doing heavy-lifting keyframe work in the first place).

I'd also expect/desire for any EG keyframes set in Ae to be brought over automatically to Pr. Without this as an option, Essential Graphics' utility is greatly limited for me.

YES, PLEASE! I use slider controls all the time and I have to go into After Effects each time I want to change a value in the graphic I am making. It is such a pain. It would be absolutely fantastic to be able to keyframe properties of a mogrt in Premiere.

Just wanted to bump this back up. This would be an amazing addition.

I find this strange that it's not in already. In Effects Controls there is Graphic Parameters. I was expecting to just find stopwatches throughout. Finding this thread is a disappointment

It is utterly strange that I can add a slider to the Essential Graphics panel but it is not keyframeable in Premiere. Then it´s meanless to co-work with project that has graph and bars and statistics where the nuumbers are chnging and where I want it to be editable by another person in my organisation.

Created my first motion graphics templates recently to speed up workflow and couldn't believe that this wasn't a feature. Adobe need to add the ability to keyframe the individual mgrt graphic parameters ASAP!
