Question

Missing assets in Motion Graphics Template

This has been bogging me down for a while now. I made some motion graphic templates in After Effects and exported them in Essential Graphics for use in Premiere. When I go to import them in Premiere, the templates came in with the color bars, claiming missing assets. I don't see why that would be the case though. Opening up the .aegraphic file in the folder it places locally near my Premiere project, the files are plenty large and the source PSD it's referencing is in there as well. It's just not reading it in Premiere for some reason.

I've tried re-exporting the graphics to no avail.

 

Only when I renamed the project folder and PSD file to be a little shorter in file name did some of my templates start working, but not all of them.

 

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there perhaps a maximum file name length limit I'm hitting and am just not aware of? I am on Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2. I had this happen on both of my computers and I am on the latest version of Premiere at the time of writing on both (24.2.1).

Hi @Wabber_HM 

 

Sorry you're running into trouble. Considering you're on Windows, there is a Windows filepath limit of 256 characters. Depending on how deeply nested your assets and/or aep is can cause trouble.

 

If you collect your AEP to less nested folder, like the Desktop, open that AEP and export the mogrt, are the assets online or color bars?

Cheers,

Theresa

My project actually began on the desktop, so perhaps I went over that limit even from there. Our company naming scheme can be long and verbose. I'm aware of the file path limit in Windows and I've seen it happen in more nested folders, so in this case, I have no problem accessing it with the file browser, but Premiere doesn't seem to like that.

 

When I renamed files and comps within AE to be a little shorter, it did finally import correctly, even the last one in my screenshot. However, on export to Media Encoder, they all appeared with color bars. But exporting from within Premiere rendered them all just fine.

Okay that's super interesting about Media Encoder. I wonder if AME isn't getting the updated information once things are changed.

Because I don't have the exact thing you're looking at, could you check the following for me?

Collect your AEP to the Desktop, open that AEP, export the mogrt to Local Templates Folder. Apply that mogrt to the timeline. Render via AME.

Are the assets still rendered as color bars?

 

Edit-> Also, did you change all the filenames of all the assets? And are they all one filetypes?

 

Thanks!
Theresa
