custom mogrt duplicates all clips to new folder

Since the last update when I import custom .mogrt files to my timeline, it does create a new folder in my project panel and it duplicates all the video clips that are used in my timeline to this folder. This is VERY upsetting. Why would I like to have all my clips dissorganised in a new folder? And every single time I add a new .mogrt to my timeline it duplicates all my clips in this folder again. I have like 10 versions of each clip in my project panel, this is ridiculous. Am I the only one with this problem? I tried this on several projects with different .mogrt files, it does that thing every time. (I know I could remove all unused clips and then move every duplicated clip to the good folder again but this is very time consuming…)

    Hi Jonas, 

     

    That is so frustrating and we've found it to be caused when you have the Injest Settings in Project Settings set to Create Proxies. When you add a Mogrt to the sequence, it creates a project item in a folder called the Motion Graphics Template Media folder. This action is kicking off new proxie copies of all of the media in the project erroneously. So annoying! 

     

    It does not repro for me in the latest Beta and appears to be fixed for the next release. 

     

    Apologies for the inconvenience,

    Dacia

    Has there been any progress on finding out what this issue is caused by and if it can be fixed? I am experiencing it on 22.6.4 and I DO NOT have "Create Proxies" checked in the Ingest Settings. My organziation has not upgraded to 23 yet for various other issues in that version.

    No you need to upgrade.

      I have this same issue.

      Footage is all ProRes 422.

      The issue isn't project specific, it's in all projects.

      The ONLY work around that works, is to import a mogrt into a blank timeline.

      Importing into a timeline with any media will create duplicate media in a new Motion Graphics Template Media folder.

      These are custom mogrts created by our graphics department.

      forgot to say that I'm on version 22.6.2 (Build 2).

      Most of my co-workers are on 22.4 and they don't have this issue.

      Could you share one or more of those for others to test?

      This just happened to me and i think I found a way to clean up a project once you get clips duplicated and messed up.

       

      1. Create a new Project

      2. Create a new Timeline

      3. Open the corrupt Project

      4. Select and copy all files and folders from the corrupt Project, except the Timeline and the Motion Graphics Template Media Folder!!! - Paste them into the new Project

      5. Open the corrupt Timeline in the corrupt Project - Select all clips from this Timeline - Copy and paste them onto the new Timeline in the new Project.

      This will clean the Motion Graphics Template Media Folder and the duplicates which are inside and will relink your clips which are on your new timeline to the files in their original folders. Only thing it won't fix is your custom color labels. It wont bring these colors back if you had color labeled the clips on the timeline after draging them onto the timeline itself). Hope this works for everyone who has this issue.

        This is happening to me too, going to try your solve to remove duplicates. Do I need to downgrade or upgrade premiere as well?

        Hi director,

        I have heard that this bug is fixed in v. 23, the current Premiere Pro Beta version. Can you check that out? Let me know if you need help installing it.

         

        Thanks,

          Well, I believe I just narrowed it down some. Was playing around with Neil's suggestion of importing a project into the  current version (22.6.2 from 10 days ago) instead of converting it from an older. The problem still persists.

          So I closed that one and started a new blank project and dropped in some random Sony PXW-200 mp4's (1080p). Dragged a Mogrt over from the Essential Gx tab and voila, no duplicates were created. Next I grabbed some Alpha S7 III (XAVCS-I 4K) clips, which is what I was editing with when I first saw the problem. Dropped them on the timeline, brought over a Mogrt and boom, every clip was duplicated in the Motion Graphics Template Media folder. But only the a7s3 clips, no PXW duplicate clips. Hmm, so then I repeated it with some a7s3 XAVC S HD clips and they duplicated also.

          So now I'm left wondering if it's a Alpha 7 problem or just an XAVC thing. It only started with the latest update, 22.6.2 from 10 days ago (per CC Desktop). Adding Mogrts from the Essen. Gx tab to a blank timeline does bypass duplicating any clips and will then work normally when dragging from the Project tab to a populated timeline.

            My clips were not XAVC of any flavour, but h264 mp4 encoded in AME and downloaded from a server... Though one thing they have in common is both are heavily compressed formats. Could that explain the different behaviour between XAVC files?

            Yeah, probably. XAVC is h264 mp4 also, just high bitrate and wrapped as Sony sees fit.

              I've never seen this behavior, and wow, that would be maddening!

               

              Where did the custom mogrts come from?
