Exporting multiple .MOGRT files

[arbazansari]

Is there any way to export multiple compositions exist in single project (.aep) to motion graphic template (.mogrt) in once/batch?

[Rick Gerard]

You might be able to write a script that accesses the Essential Graphics Panel but I am not sure if the buttons in the panel are available through scripting. There is no built-in system like the render cue.

AE does have excellent scripting support for MoGRT and it includes export features.

does this do what you need?

There ought to be! It's a total hassle exporting multiple mogrt files. Very ill-thought-out.

I also didn't want to export 32 compositions manually for a project, and because I am software developer professionally I wrote a script to export multiple essential graphics compositions from After Effects including preview image and preview video as mogrts. You can find the script on my gumroad page: https://store.volltone.com/l/ae-mogrt-batch-exporter let me know if that helps. It is based on the manual process from this video https://youtu.be/VD6BGcUmn2o  but fully automated. There is also a free trial version, which has the same functionality but adds a watermark to the preview.

I just released Version 2 of the script which adds support for adding tags to your mogrts. See https://store.volltone.com/l/ae-mogrt-batch-exporter

Any feedback and feature requests are welcome.

Hi, I just released a new version (v3) of the AE Mogrt Batch Exporter some highlights are

• More use of native features available in AE Version 25+ like:

• Set Poster Time from native Essential Graphics panel

• Can use Name set in Essential Graphics panel

• Can use native Include Video Preview from Essential Graphics Export Dialog

• Set global tags for all exported mogrts

• Individual tags for each composition/mogrt can be set via composition comment

• Legacy video preview and thumbnail generation still available but should not be needed in recent versions of After Effects.

• Optional export log for easier bugfixing for me

• Better error handling

• Fixed some nasty timing bugs on slower machines and with larger comps.

Tested with After Effects 25.0.1 on MacOS and Windows.

It's a free upgrade for owners of the previous versions.

If you don't mind saying, how did you fix the timing bugs? I wrote a batch MOGRT export script for my own use a couple of years ago and it worked great up until the ugrade to AE 2024, and since then the MOGRTs keep coming out corrupted. I described the issue here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/has-exportasmotiongraphicstemplate-become-r...
