How to install multiple mogrt files at once in Premiere Pro CC

Hi, I can't seem to find any way to install multiple mogrt files at once. There doesn't seem to be an option using the Essentials Gaphics window.

As per other forum discussions I've read, I tried copying the folder containg the mogrt files into the file path /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Motion Graphics Templates/' however, my 'Common' folder did not contain an "Motion Graphics Templates' folder. I then made one but this didn't work. I also tried copying the folder into the file path /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC/Contents/Essential Graphics' and copied the folder into there. This also didn't work.

There has to be a way to do this. Surely Adobe wouldn't make it only possible to install one mogrt file at a time via the Essential Graphics window.

It was when the first 2018 version was released, and they'd dropped the local folder structure thing. You can still have one, but not like the structure you could create before.

There are a lot of folks who've posted over on the UserVoice system about that. I suggest you go over there, search for EGP folders, and add your comments to some of the postings already made. That's the way to get your opinion directly to the development team and their management.

Recent update: The folder location now seems to be C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Motion Graphics Templates. Drop one mogrt, a group, or even a folder here and they show up in Premiere in a flash.

There's a free Browser that includes the ability to organize and preview MoGRTs, including looping animated previews of MoGRTs. AeViewer is certainly worth a look into.

You can add folders of mogrts ... click on the 3-bar or "hamburger" menu at the top of the EGP (Essential Graphics Panel).

Select "Manage additional folders".

Select the folder you want to include on your machine. I think it should now 'see' all the mogrts there. If not, click on the little plus icon at the bottom right of the panel, navigate to the folder and select everything.

I just figured out that you can drag and drop multiple .mogrt files directly into the Essential Graphics folder in Premiere. I just don't know where Premiere is saving it, but it works.

You can click and drag the .mogrt graphics files onto Premiere's Essential Graphics pane and it will install them all in bulk, working in Premiere Pro 2020.

Here is the procedure to copy multiple mogrt files to the right folder:

OPTION Click GO on the finder to reveal the correct LIBRARY.

Copy all mograt files to the following path:

<User> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Motion Graphics Templates

There is a folder called Essential Graphics in that same location, but in my case that did not work. I copied the mogrt files to the Motion Graphics Template Folder and then it works like a charm. Good luck!

My solution worked fine for me, from Windows. Clearly it does not work the same in macOS. Adobe needs to fix this.

You can just drag and drop them into the Essential Graphics Panel.

Hold the Option key on your keyboard, and click the Go menu at the top of the screen.

That's the way to find the right library folder.

Essential Graphics default location is:

(mac) username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Essential Graphics/

(win) root ://Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/Essential Graphics/

Note: the Library directory on mac and AppData directory on Win are hidden directories, so you'll need to set your system to show these files.

Does that help?

Yes. We know that is the location. However, for many of us, the Essential Graphics folder is entirely missing from the Common location. Why did this happen? What is the solution to batch import MOGRT files?

I am on a Mac, and my folder used to look very similar to that.
I do not have a before shot, but this is what I have now.
In this folder should be the Motion Graphics Templates folder, among other folders.
However, now there is just this one Plug-ins folder.
The Manage Additional Folders is a great workaround for now, but I would love to know what happened here.
I had checked another co-workers computer, and she has this same issue.
I have a theory that it could be an iOS issue? However, that doesn't seem to be the issue. I was on High Sierra and updated to Mojave, and saw no change.

AH OK... With some help, I looked closer and you are doing something I have done more than once myself. You are looking inside the wrong Library folder at the OS level. Mac OS keeps an often-hidden Library folder at the user level. So what you want to be looking at is: /Users/<username>/Library/...

OH MY GOODNES!!! I can't believe it. You are totally right. I was in the incorrect folder. Just looked the CORRECT path and everything was there.

I feel SO embarrassed.
Thank you, everyone, for all your help. I truly appreciate it!

Also, I was not aware you can batch drag and drop into EGP! That does help.
