I'm brand new to using Premiere Pro. I am trying to utilise the free Adobe Stock transition files in my media project. I have downloaded and installed the mogrt. template file and the file is now available in my Essential Graphics tab. Many of the transitions contain a stock watermark image of a triangle, circle, and square overlapping whereby I have the option to "replace media". I don't want an image in the transition. The Adobe sample video of the transition does not contain an image, so why does mine? I am operating the latest version of Premiere Pro on OS Ventura. How can I delete the media so that only the transition remains?

No. Mogrts are not actually able to behave like transitions between two track items like regular Video Transitions do. They are their own sort of media, so they need to sit on a track above your cut point if you want them to look like transitions at all.

Hello, I'm a bit late to this party I know. I'm having a related issue with replace media transitions. I'm a confident Premiere user.
I'm trying a transition called Original Glitch Transition (MOGRT). I think it's supposed to work by replacing media 1 and media 2 with the clips you want to transition from/to. I can do this, no problem. My problem is, when I then drag the transition ('containing' the two clips) onto the timeline, the total duration is just the duration of the transition. If I extend the edit points along, I dont just get my original media handles with a transition in the middle, I get a slowed down glitch effect across all the media (eg 10 seconds of slow glitching). What am I doing wrong - the only solution I can see is painstakingly trying to lay the transition containing the clips in a track over the actual clips and trying to match up the frames by eye.

I cant replace the placeholder. If iI try to drag media to it it wont work and if I try the hamburger menu its not letting me click anything. thats for all of them adobe is annoying and overly complicated.

This has been driving me crazy. Just figured out a way to do it. Put the transition on V3. On V1 you have the outgoing video(Media 1) and V2 the incoming video(Media 2). Line up the V2 clip with the start of the transition. Now at the start of the transition you match frame V1 into the source monitor and make an in point. Click back on the transition and then drag the clip from the source monitor into the "Media 1". It will highlight blue. Go back to the start of the transition and match frame V2. Make an in point. Now go back to the transition and then drag the clip from the source monitor into "Media2". You'll see it highlight blue. It should now do what you hoped it would do. Kind of a pain in the ass I know. Also if you want to make the transition longer you can only extend to the right or the end of the transition. If you end up moving the transition at all you will have to repeat process or you will have jump edits into and out of the transition.

This is driving me insane too. I have paid for and downloaded mogrts from Adobe stock and can't use them because of these watermarks. Surely I can place them in my time line in the track immediately above the two clips and not have them black out what's beneath?

The correct answer here is not the answer to the issue presented. Placing some mogrt files on top of a video layer centered between two clips will show the black/white watermarked image. I have zipped, upacked and tried many things in AE to get a mogrt to work easily in a PP timeline by just dropping onto a sequence. (deleted image, turned opacity down, moved it off screen, hid it... )

Has this ever been answered? I want to use many of the transitions available without a media replacement option. You also don't know that the transition needs media replacement until you download and put on a timeline. Also, is there a way of searching for regular trnasitions in Essentials that don't need media relacement? This is very annoying for editors that are just looking for transitions to use on a timeline without the need for using new media

I don't believe this question was actually answered. I'm having the same issue: I want to use Adobe Stock transitions in my timeline. However, they don't act like typical transitions (like "cross-disolve"). From the Essential Graphics panel, if you add the transition to the timelime, the only options seems to be to replace images/videos "from finder" (in the Essential Graphics panel). I simply want to use the transition in the timeline with my existing clips like a normal transition. Is this possible?

Neil's descritpion is good. This image shows the UI you are looking for, although in you case there will be two (or more) drop zones instead of jsut the one like you see here. I just added the green outline for emphasis.

Kate, what precisely is the problem you're having?

We can't help unless you tell us exactly what you're trying to do, and how ... and where it ain't working as you expect.

In the EGP panel, the Edit tab. Each item of the mogrt has it's own layer. Replace it with your media.

R. Neil...CAT is new to Adobe Preimiere-not an expert...mind explaining what you meant for a beginner? Those transitions with watermarks can drag & drop to the sequence over the footage. How does one replace the essesntial graphic footage with the editors footage that's in the sequence?

Adobe's apps tend to use layers to apply multiple steps to any asset/clip/whatever.

For clips on a timeline, you go to the Effects Control Panel and you can see all effects applied to that clip. That's where you set the controls for many effects.

For graphics, the Essential Graphics Panel or EGP is the control panel. When you have a graphic or mogrt on a timeline, use the EGP to change things within that graphic.

At the top of the EGP are two tabs ... left is Browse, which is probably how CAT acquired the graphic. Next to it is Edit. Click the Edit tab.

Now at the top, you see a layer stack of all elements making that graphic. As with any other effects process in PrPro, you select, move, and/or change the parameters for the items in the layer stack.

For more detailed instructions, go to their online help, as they do have video tutorials showing the basic steps of this workflow.
