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

This would be such massive help being able to key frame the Graphic Parameters! Save so much time and allow editors to stay in one programme rather than having to go back between premiere and after effect.

Hi Amir,

While this feature is not in development at the moment, you have a couple of options to help you fine-tune animations in Mogrts once you're in Premiere Pro.

There is a feature called Responsive Design - Time which allows you to change the overall timing of a Mogrt by creating Protected Regions at certain points in the Primary comp. If you want to be able to fine-tune the animation in Premiere, then setting the Protected Regions around the parts of the comp that are static will allow the timing to be squashed or stretched in the animated parts.

Or if you want to be able to control the timing of certain elements in your Mogrt, then EC Abrams tutorial on using expressions for time is a must watch!

This feature is needed urgently! This will allow video editors to really fine tune the timing of the animation.

There are so many things I want to do with the essential graphics, but can't because it doesn't support keyframes. Please add this feature. It will open up a lot of new possibilities for editors.

This would be an incredible feature to add! There's multiple essential graphics I have made that would have benefited greatly from this!

Hi all,

Unfortunately, the workaround solution that I wanted to propose to y'all is not going to work after all.
The request continues to be logged, and we will definitely update this channel if there is any news.

Apologies for getting hopes up. 😞

Is there any updates on this? I only just figured out that you can't key the parameters. Also, for all of you guys saying it's dumb that they haven't implemented this, I've been using this for a long time and only now have had to do it. In my eyes it's manly used for things like quick overlaid animations and not too technical. I use it all the time when I do motion graphics for a client. Like Lower thirds. Set your text, maybe change color, make sure you have protected regions in AE so they can retime their animation without speeding up the the whole animation, etc. That being said, I do still feel like it would be worth while to have! It seems this was brought up back in 2018 and is now almost 3 years old at this point. I hope they can add this.
