Insert Mogrt From Path

Category: Pr Tracks & Clips Insert Mogrt From Path block screenshot

Places a local Motion Graphics Template into a sequence. The `path` input must resolve to a `.mogrt` file when the block runs. Use `audioTrackIndex = -1` for video-only templates and `videoTrackIndex = -1` for audio-only templates. When both track indices are provided, the runtime automatically retries the known Premiere null-track failure by omitting audio first and then video. Premiere's insertion API does not accept `.aegraphic` files or raw After Effects project exports for this block. In ABSCRIPT workflows, `embedded://<assetId>` authoring references are valid only after materialization resolves them to a local `.mogrt` file.

Notes​

  • Inserts a local Motion Graphics Template into a sequence.
  • path must resolve to a .mogrt file when the host call executes.
  • Use this path-based block for templates that come from Premiere's local Local Templates / My Templates area.
  • A common discovery flow is: prGetInstalledMogrtPath -> listFilesInFolder -> choose the target .mogrt path -> prInsertMogrtFromPath.
  • Track indices are 0-based (0 = first track / V1 / A1).
  • .aegraphic files and raw After Effects project exports are not accepted by Premiere's insertMogrtFromPath API, even if they look like motion-graphics assets.
  • Use audioTrackIndex = -1 for video-only templates and videoTrackIndex = -1 for audio-only templates.
  • If both track indices are provided and Premiere hits the known null-track MOGRT bug, the runtime retries automatically by omitting audio first and then video.
  • Some Premiere versions surface a low-level null error when a MOGRT is inserted onto a track type that the template does not actually produce.
  • In ABSCRIPT workflows, embedded://<assetId> is allowed at authoring time, but it must resolve to a materialized .mogrt file before execution.

Examples​

Insert Local MOGRT Into Active Sequence

Minimal API pattern for placing a local `.mogrt` file into the active sequence. This stays visible as the canonical local-path counterpart to the portable embedded-MOGRT ABSCRIPT example.

Insert Embedded MOGRT As ABSCRIPT Build Spec

Portable ABSCRIPT BUILD SPEC example that prompts for a `.mogrt` file, embeds it, and inserts it into the active sequence via `prInsertMogrtFromPath`. This is the portable counterpart to the visible local-path MOGRT pattern.
