Question

Using superscript in After Effects editable text in Premiere 2025

I'm running into an issue while editing in Premiere Pro 2025. I created a simple graphic template in After Effects 2025 and I'm using dynamic link to bring the AE file into PR to make my graphics for the project using the After Effects Editable Text in the Effects Controls panel. I have a number of graphics that include the registered trademark symbol (®), I'm copy/pasting it from a document that has it formatted as superscript and it even displays as superscript in the Editable Text box, but when I view the graphic in the Program panel, it's not formatted as superscript. 

 

The trademark symbol (™) doesn't seem to have this issue; it displays as superscript in both places. I am able to go into the AE file and format the registered trademark symbol as superscript, but once I make any changes to the rest of that line of text in Premiere, it gets rid of that formatting and makes the registered trademark symbol full size again.

 

Has anyone else run into this issue and found a workaround?

    Hey there, @kayward,

    Thanks for the message and welcome to the forum. I have not heard of this issue before. Apologies for the hassle. You said this is a dynamic link situation. Tell me, have you tried creating a .mogrt with this composition and then using that, or is that what you've already done? Let me know.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hey @Kevin-Monahan thank you for the reply! I hadn't tried creating a .mogrt but just did and am having the same issue. I tried enabling custom font selection, font size adjustment, and faux styles when creating the .mogrt, but unfortuantely super/subscript aren't faux style options when I bring the .mogrt into Premiere.

     

    I also tried including the "Freightliner®" text as the placeholder text in After Effects when setting up the .mogrt and ensured that the registered trademark symbol is superscript there, but that formatting isn't carrying over when I export it and import it into Premiere.

    UPDATE: I may have found a root cause for the issue, but not quite a solution. The font I'm using is Heebo bold, and when I tried changing the font temporarily, the registered trademark symbol immediately displayed as superscript in all places, across the dynamic link and the .mogrt.

     

    So I'm thinking there's something funky going on with that font.
