PROJECT: MOTION GRAPHICS TEMPLATE FOR TV SHOW TITLE SEQUENCE
With Motion Graphics templates, you can preserve the style and settings for a project while giving colleagues control over
specific editorial decisions in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Getting started
Using the Essential Graphics panel in After Effects, you can create Motion Graphics templates
that let your colleagues edit aspects of the composition in Adobe Premiere Pro. You decide
which properties are editable as you create the template, and then you can share the template
using Creative Cloud libraries or by sending your colleague the Motion Graphics template
(.mogrt) file.
You’ll create a Motion Graphics template for the title sequence of a noir television show in
which the main title text needs to remain constant but the episode subtitle, background images,
and effect settings can change.
First, you’ll preview the sample movie and then set up the project.
