MOGRT downloading as PDF

From where did you get the Mogrt?

I am a new Premier Pro user.  I want to download a premade template to save time, but when I download it, the MOGRT file shows up as a PDF and I cannot add it to the Essential Graphics.  Has anyone ever had this happen?  I cannot figure out what the issue is.

 

Mod note: spelling correction "mogrt" for search purposes.

It seems to be a problem with file associations in Windows that mess up everything and fooling you that the files are .pdf files while they are not.

I would start with going to open the Folder Options dialog in Windows and go to the View tab. Once there, make sure to un-check the Hide extensions for known file types and click ok. By doing this you will actually see the extension of the file, in this case to verify if the file/s actually is .pdf or anything else. Now you dont actually see any extensions and that can be confusing.

In Windows you can change the default type for a file so any file can show icons in Explorer for let´s say Acrobat and thus fooling the end user to think that it is a pdf though it is not. A double click on the file will launch the wrong app. In the image below i fooled Windows to think that my .pdf file is a media file that will open in VLC. If i double click on file VLC tries to open it but fails. Solution for me: Change back so Acrobat opens .pdf files again.

So, make sure that your file associations are correct. If they are not there can be issues.

And, what happens if you from within Premiere Pro´s Essential Graphics panel click on Install Motion Graphics template and locate the same files?

Where are you downloading this from?
