Having trouble with Essential Graphics Title Templates

I am trying to learn how to add a simple title with a rectangle box around it at the beginning of my video's. There is a actually a template that would be a great starting point in essential graphics. However when I go to grab it and drag it to my sequence it won't allow me to do it. There is a little fist symbol. I have tried searching and I just can't figure out what is going on. Can anyone walk me through this? I am new to Premier so please keep that in mind when describing what I need to do.

Thanks

    Okay I appreciate it guys. But no matter what I do when I go to drag the template into my timeline like Meg did the little fist stays and it doesn't let me drop it in. I even closed the project and tried another one. Is there a setting I need to check to be able to have access to this function?


    When the mogrt's don't "drop" properly it is typically because of an improper bit of work on the mogrt or a version issue between the mogrt and whichever Pr version you are using. And there are some of the included ones that can be problematical.

    Which Pr version ... number-dot-number from the Help/About menu ... are you using?

    Hi I have a problem with my Essential Graphics Panel. Whenever I want to use the templates that are already in my premiere pro I get an error message and my Premiere crashes. Even worse when I install the Mogrt it says no file found

     

    Please help

    I had this problem and it turned out to be a really (really) stupid error on my part.   I  upgraded to latest version and still had the fist symbol.  However...the shortcut I had pinned to my Windows taskbar was pointing me to the 12.x install that was still on my PC.  New shortcut added, old one removed and problem solved...essential graphics working like a charm.

      Click down and drag the Mogrt you want to an available video track on the timeline. The cursor will change when you drag over the timeline to show that you are in an area you can place the graphic:

        Do you have a sequence open in the timeline?
