I seem to be unable to save my intro sequence as a template; I've made sure that the sequence is selected, but the option to export remains grayed out. I'd LOVE not to have to recreate this every time!

Correct answer yenaphe

From the screenshot you posted, I only see video clips, and no titles. There must be at least one title to enable the Export to Motion Graphics Template export option.

I'm having this problem. Attached a screenshot. All 4 elements are titles, created within Premiere Pro. None of the information below was helpful in this circumstance.

ETA: It seems as if only one title is allowed to be exported as a MGT. Even when I nest all the titles together, it's still grayed out. What I've been doing the past many videos is opening past projects and copying-and-pasting the intro title into my new project. You could also just save it in a separate project/sequence and open, copy, and paste each time. Until there's an actual solution for exporting multiple titles as one template directly within Premiere Pro, this is what I will continue doing. If anyone has found a solution for this to create an "Essential Graphics" template with multiple titles, would be grateful to hear your suggestions. TIA

In my opinion, this thread should not have been marked as "resolved", since there should be an option to save edited MOGRTs within PR. It's such a basic function that would save so many PR users a lot of extra (unnecessary) work.

I am having the same issue. I am using a Title and a png graphic that I made in motion. Maybe I am only allowed one title and cant use an image. Would really like Adobe to get rid of this greyed out problem so I can use my logo and website in a consistent motion graphic and not recreate them each time.

You can't select things on multiple video tracks. You don't need to make them that way, put them in ONE track, in the same graphic/mogrt. Then you can save.

I notice sometimes when I make a title on something, it goes on a new track anyway. Thanks Neil, this gives me a chance to see if I can somehow force it to be a single clip

Hello, I am having the same problem. I downloaded After Effets to try to find the template in there but I don't know how to add just the motion graphic template to After Effects. Is there an easier way to save this Essential Graphic in my favorites to be used and easily modified in the future?

I'm not getting this. I see the answer is to add a title but the only thing I see is legacy title and I'm getting the same greyed out "Export to Motion Graphics Template eport option. Did I add the title correctly? I see a lot of people with this problem but not many answers. Thanks.

Hi James,

Sorry. Did you click with the "T" tool in the Program Monitor? That gets a title started that you can eventually save as a .mogrt (Motion Graphics Template file). Let us know.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for the reply Kevin.

I have one of the free Adobe Stock assets called Gradient Swirl Logo Reveal and put my logo into it. That's what I'm trying to export as a motion graphics template file. I did click the T tool but it just brought up a text cursor.

Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie at this....

I have a similar issue. I purchased some motion graphic templates from Adobe Stock, which I edited, and now I want to export my edited version of the MOGRT files. When I select the sequence in my timeline, I am unable to select "export as a motion graphic template."

Has anyone had any luck in fuguring this out?

Thank you!

did you ever figure this out? I currently have the same issue. Bought a stock template from Adobe, edited it to the style of my videos, went to export it, and it is grayed out for export. I don't want to have to do this every time.

If this is a typical purchased from stock mogrt, with user controls and such, you would probably need to do that editing of it in AfterEffects, and then you can export it as a new mogrt.

I don't think Pr allows changing of the parameter panels and such.
