Allow audio to be controlled via Essential Graphics

[JLEBGames]

There doesn't seem to be any way to make audio editable in a mogrt, would be great to be able to do things like link audio levels to a checkbox to make it possible to enable/disable through the Essential Properties etc.

Currently manipulating audio with Essential Properties appears to be impossible

If i use the dropdown controller to switch visual elements, you cant switch the audio elements with it. 
Then you need to clutter Premiere Pro with sound files every time you pull out an mogrt template and manually place it there.

Still waiting for Audio to be supported. Im tired of making millions of versions of my MOGRTs. Whats the point of a dropdown Menu, if the Audio doesnt update with choosing a different element. 😞

I'm sure this will take 12 years to implement because it will require both AE and PR teams to work together. Can't imagine the morale there after the whole TOS debacle.

Adding my voice. I am creating dialogue boxes, and each character who gets a dialogue box has a different sound to go with it. It would be so much easier if I could just drag and drop the audio file instead of having to properly time it every time. I imagine better and more universal usecases could include the ability to easily change languages.

Adding yet another voice to support this. Using a mogrt is handy, but being able to do one with responsive audio controls would be amazing! Hopefully Adobe can see there's continued interest and will listen to the requests

+1 to this. would be incredibly useful especially when using any form of audio effects e.g. audio waveform.

Hi,

It would be useful for exemple with using "Audio Spectrum" effect on Mogrt.
We coul swap the sound/video in the Essential Graphics window and then the effet change dynamicaly

So I just spent 2 hours figuring out how to change the volume and pan of a sound effect depending on the screen position of my motion graphic in After Effects via script, just to find out that none of those adjustments translate into Premiere once exported as an Essential Graphics - what a bummer!!!
I also just realized that as soon as you include sound effects in your MoGrTs it breaks the responsive design and the Essential Graphics are no longer expandable in Premiere.
This really should be fixed as soon as possible and I don't understand why it still doesn't work after almost 2 years this issue was mentioned. Especially because in After Effects it seems to work perfectly fine: you can easily control the volume of multiple sound effects via a Slider in the Essential Graphics panel via script. Interestingly the settings you have set in the After Effects Essential Graphics panel gets saved into the MoGrT correctly once you export it but then just stay static like that in Premiere forever - really weird! It should just get updated like everything else...

Possible use cases:

1.  Adjusting the pan of a sound effect according to the screen position of a motion graphic - e.g. if the graphic flys in from the left side of the screen the pan (Stereo Mixer) is automatically set to the left level.

2. Adjusting the volume of multiple sound effects via a Slider instead of having to change the volume of each sound effect individually in Premiere.

Idea how to not break the responsive design with sound effects in a MoGrT:
Instead of dragging the whole sound effect onto the timeline in After Effects there should be an option to trigger a sound effect just by a single keyframe. If that keyframe is within the Protected Regions of the timeline they should move accordingly like every other keyframe once the length of the Essential Graphic is adjusted in Premiere.

This would save us so much time not having to place all the sound effects in Premiere every time we want to use an Essential Graphic with sounds.
