Question

Moving a MOGRT in PR and Multiple fonts

Hello,

I am not well-versed in PR and AE, and I only have sporadic access, so please bear with me and forgive the naive questions.

 

I am looking to do an auto-resize Lower Third do diplay keyboard shorcuts for a small tutorial. I am using a tutorial from Kyler Holand that also has AE and MOGRT templates (link here: Part 1 Part 2). The tutorial is really useful, but I am hitting two snags trying to adapt the graphics to my need.

 

First, I notice that I am not able to reposition the MOGRT in PR. I was puzzled, so I looked for another basic tutorial that mentions this isse and says that I can only reposition the MOGRT by editing the AE file. Is that still the case and are there any workarounds or plugins that would allow me to reposition the MOGRT directly in PR? Since I need to position my keyboard shortcuts displays relative to what's going on in teh video, it means having to do each one in AE and defeats the purpose of using a MOGRT. Is there something I am not seeing or understanding?

 

Second, I would like to use a couple of Fontawesome icons inside one of the two text elements on the MOGRT template. I don't have to use Fontawesome. I could use a couple of SVGs or PNGs. But I don't know how to incorporate graphics and text into the same line, in AE. So since this is a text template, I thought using Fontawesome would work. But looking at the MOGRT template, which has two lines of text, I can only change the font for a whole line of text in the properties. I can't insert the two Fontawesome icons independently of the rest of the text. Can you confirm it is not possible to do that in a MOGRT, or whether this could be done editing the AE template before I re-export to MOGRT?

 

If you are interested in the kind of look & feel I am trying to achieve, I attach a short clip from a Jesus Ramirez tut, from the Photoshop Training Channel, displaying a keyboard shortcut. I will have to make it my own rather than copy his style, but it is pretty much what I am trying to do.

 

Thank you for your patience, comments and suggestions.

 

Best

Chris
