Media Encoder causes Essential Graphics asset error

I created a custom .mogrt file in AE, and it loads fine in Premiere. However, it seems to 'lose' the background graphic asset that's built into the .mogrt file. It works sometimes, but then suddenly 'forgets' and instead of the embedded graphic (a .mov file), I get a static color bar slate, that persists through rendering.

I suspected it was a problem related to Media Encoder, as when I rendered straight from Premiere (i.e. command M, then Export) it worked fine. Only when I went to the Media Encoder queue did the errors start.

This is most frustrating, as I prefer to use the render queue to allow me to keep working in Premiere, rather than have to suspend editing just to wait for rendering to finish.

Hey Adobe! There's something in Media Encoder that 'breaks' Essential Graphics asset links. Please fix it!!!

How about working the settings in your computer?

In ME's Preferences, is "import sequences natively" checked? If so, uncheck it.

Hi Clément, Neil and everyone else

 

A quick update:

I've started to use the ExpressionUniversalizer for my .mogrts. It work's like a charm so far. Though it is an extra step, it certainly pays off. Everyone can use my .mogrts without a hitch. I even switched After Effects back to English.

 

It would be interesting to find out, if Adobe changed something about the way Premiere/After Effects talks to Media Encoder. Something might have changed while I was figuring out my workflow/workaround.

I just queued over to Me with a clip with type animated crossing it. And it worked fine.

 

Really puzzled.

When I turned it off I couldn't import any files at that point.

Ok i discovered the solution today. Premier pro creates a seperate "Motion Graphics Template" folder in your "Premier Pro" >> "14" folder (Premier Pro >> 14 >> Motion Graphics Template Media)

 

In this folder you will find folders that were created with the .aegraphic file that Media Encoder is looking for. If you delete the folder or folders with the conflicting file name you can go back into Premier and load the .mogrt from Essential Graphics menu and it will create a new file location and link to Media Encoder.

Hi everybody

 

Thanks to everyone for figuring out this phenomenon.

For my part, i'm still struggling with those issues. I created different mogrt's for our company. The export out of PP works fine. No mather the aspect ratio or resolution. The lower thirds however always render wrong, when exporting through ME. Working of a current and capable HP Windows Laptop here (haven’t tried it on a Mac yet).

I used some expression like "sourceRectAtTime(time)" and Anker point repositioning. Could this be the problem?

I followed the instructions described here. Still no luck 😞

Exporting through PP is definitely an option. It just ad’s an extra step to the process.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hello everyone, 
Just like Louis I tried every options mentionned here but none made the trick for me unfortunately.
I have controllers effect in my .mogrt files wich control the sizes of boxes depending on the size of the text in it, and these do not work at all when exporting through Media Encoder. 
Of course everything works out fine when exporting with Premiere Pro. 
There must be something I'm doing wrong, I don't know...
I hope we'll have an answer one of these days because I cannot use the full capabilities of such softwares, it's a huge loss of time. 
Thanks! 
Clément

Hi Clément

I will be creating a whole bunch of .mogrt's in the futur. Was thinking of getting the "ExpressionUniversalizer 4" from aescripts. Hopefully this will do the trick. I'll keep this thread posted about my progress.

Yes, that ExpressionsUniversalizer thing is a very good tool if you've got a bunch of mogrts from Ae to prep & check before deploying.

 

In fact, there's a TON of usable tools on A&E scripts for working in Ae and Pr. Most don't cost much and cut your work down AMAZINGLY.

Hello everyone, 
I finally found my error and it's thanks to you! 


Mentionning the "Expression Universalizer" I checked it out not knowing what it was, and that brought me on the path.
My AE being in french, effects sometimes have accents in their name. In my case "slider control" is "Paramètre glissière"...
I just renamed all the occurences of the effect, re exported and re imported mogrts files into Premiere Pro and voilà (lol), Media Encoder understands the mogrt file just like I meant it.


Hope this will resolve some other user's problems if you guys have Adobe tools in languages with accents. Expressions' code and accents don't mix really well. 

Could not be everyone's solution here but it could come in handy. Didn't needed Expression Universalizer in my case. 

Thank you guys Louis, Neil and everyone that posted on this thread. 
Will save a lot of time!

Thanks
