Good day, I have a problem with graphics, for two months when you add purchased or free graphic designs I pop up the window "Motion Graphics template is corrupt" what should I do, I have the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 13.0.3

    Correct answer DaciaSaenz

    Alright! We finally got an in-house repro!! Whew! I've been chasing this ghost in the machine for quite awhile! It looks like the "Mogrt is Corrupt" issue occurs when the Motion Graphics Templates Media scratch disk is set to a folder that is nested so many levels deep or in folders with really long names that goes beyond the 260 character limit that file paths on Windows machines are limited to by default. The .aegraphic files within a Mogrt gets unpacked in the Motion Graphics Templates Media folder inside of folders with a Unique ID that also has a really long string of characters. It throws Windows over the edge to where it doesn't recognize the file path as valid.

    We are looking into a workaround on our end but in the meantime, I found this article that shows where you can go in Win 10 to change this limitation. https://mspoweruser.com/ntfs-260-character-windows-10/ 

    You can also open Project Settings and change the Motion Graphics Template Media Scratch Disk to a new location with fewer nested folders or closer to the root.

     

    I have not been able to reproduce this issue on a Mac though. It looks to be specific to Windows. But if you are experiencing this issue on Mac please reach out 🙂 
    Hope this is helpful!

    Ede,

     

    Um ... which issue? There were several issues discussed on that long old thread. I would recommend starting a new thread, and posting the details of the specific problem you are having. You do X, expect Y, but Z happens instead ...

     

    Thanks!

    I'm having the exact same problem. I've downloaded MOGRTs from these places:

    https://sellfy.com/p/IwqJ/

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yLa1oMfNY_b0ROHyNFw77GXycOf365Nr/view

    https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/21-free-motion-graphics-templates-premiere-pro/

    none of them work.

    they import into the essential graphics panel in premiere, but when I drag them into the timeline I get the "Motion graphic template is corrupt" message.

    I'm sorry that you're seeing this issue. Thats super frustrating. I'm a QE on the Motion Graphics team and would love to help diagnose the issue for you. If you could please share some of your corrupt Mogrts with me via a WeTransfer link I'd be super grateful to deep dive and see if we can get this resolved.

    Were they working correctly at one point and then became corrupted?

    If so, can you tell me what version of PR you are using and if you updated between the time they opened and when they got corrupted?
    Would you also mind sharing your system specks?

    Thanks so much,

    Dacia

    Dacia!

    I'm using Premiere Pro CC, latest update.

    I've never been able to use .mogrt files. It's always been sayin "corrupted" when I import.

    Also, the templates in Essential Graphics panels aren't wokring, most of them just turn up as an empty text field with no animation or content. No error sign, though. Am I using them incorrect?

    this is how I use them: drag template from essentail grpahics panel into sequence timeline > nothing appears on screen > click the T (typing)-tool > click program monitor > empty text field without animation appears.

    I'm using a MSI GS73VR Laptop

    Windows 10 home

    Intel i7 2.80GHz

    16 Gb RAM

    Two 1TB SSD:s, one for storage and one for apps

    Geforce GTX 1060 graphics

    I'm inboxing the corrupted MOGRT, but as I said, also the essentail grphics templates aren't working correctly.

    Can you tell us where you got the MOGRTs from? Or is it literally ALL MOGRTs?
