Essential Graphics - Backward compatibility

[Hylkewolf]

Hello all,

I'm trying to make Essential Graphics in After Effects so other people have an easy way to work with the graphics without having the knowledge of After Effects. Now there are a few people who are working on windows 7, so they're running an older version of Premiere Pro. When they try to import my Essential Graphics (made in After Effects 2020), they have a problem with importing it because it's a newer version.

Is there a way to export the Essential Graphics for older versions? I get the point that maybe some features are not supported, but i only use the text source controls.

There is no such thing. There never was, there never will be quite likely. That's the age-old gag of AE files not being backward/ forward compatible in the first place and using MOGRTs adds its own level of extra complication on top of it.

I know that this is thread is a bit older, but I couldn't find any current information about this, so I would like to tag along your question.

I encounter this exact problem with a project at the moment and it is really annoying that AE and Premiere always need to be "synced up" which is nearly impossible- especially within bigger cooperations....

I really hope that Adobe adds some kind of option (like the "Save As Copy As CC 123") in the future, so I don't have to keep old After Effects versions on my machine, just to manage Motion Graphic Templates...
