Where can I find complete documentation for Object Model??

https://premiere-scripting-guide.readthedocs.io/

this document does not explain importMGT method which should be in Sequence object...

I want to know which object will be returned when I used importMGT().

and how can I update the text of graphic created from mgt file.

Thank you for your reply.

Is this mogrt file is created by AE or PPro??

I tried so many times, but when I use mogrt file created in ppro, getMGTComponent() return null value.

This is with an AE mogrt in Premiere, not sure if it works with a PPRO exported mogrt.

Those docs are community-run, so it's not always up to date. Check between that and the examples in the Adobe GitHub . There's an example of using importMGT() in the sample panel:

thank you for your reply.

I have tried this but seems like getMgtComponents() methods is returns null in my circumstance...

Can you successfully change text inside the graphic with this code?

Yes, you can change a value, here's an example of changing a text value in a motion graphics template:

var clip = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[4].clips[0];
var mgt = clip.getMGTComponent();
var prop = mgt.properties.getParamForDisplayName("Small Text");
prop.setValue('test');
