11.5 How To Use Title Templates in the Essential Graphics Panel: Part 2

[MUSIC] In this lesson, you will learn how to install motion graphics templates, and you will see how to find great looking title templates on Envato Elements. [MUSIC] Over in the Browse tab, Right down here, there's a button, Install Motion Graphics Template. And this will allow you to navigate to wherever you have downloaded. And I believe this will only install one at a time. If you want to install multiple templates, you need to go to the default directory where these are stored. And on Windows, that is in this location. So usually the users folder is located on the C drive. So, C drive, Users, my username, underneath AppData, roaming, Adobe, Common and then Motion Graphics Template. It's a little bit of a journey, but once you get here you can see that these are where all of the mogrt files are installed. And you can just download them, unzip them and drag them into this folder, and then you will see them populate over here in the Browse tab. Some of these I have pulled over in a folder, so I have a collection that's called Boxed, and that's in a folder called Boxed. They don't actually show up in a folder over here, but just to keep things a little bit more organized, it sometimes helps to put them in folders inside this Motion Graphics Template folder. Because a lot of these are labelled in a really similar way. Let's see if I can find one, yeah, this Essential Pack here. You can see this one's just called Minimal Title. And you can imagine there are other titles. This one's called Modern Title. You can imagine there are other motion graphics templates that you may download that may also have the title of Minimal Title, so that could get a little confusing. It can also get confusing over here as well. So it's just something to keep in mind. You don't have to install all of them that come with all packs. I tend to check them out inside of Premiere. If they're ones that look like I'm going to keep them, I'll leave them here. If it looks like I'm never gonna use them, I'll just go ahead and remove them, which you can do by right-clicking on them and then choosing Delete. Or you can just pull them out of this folder right here, you can just delete them here. Now, I also wanted to show you a few of these on Envato Elements. So if you go to Envato Elements and you search under Video Templates, you can do a search for mogrt, and that'll pull up a bunch of video motion graphics type templates. I have it sorted for Premiere Pro. So all of these should be ones that you can install in a similar way. Not all of these are titles. You can further sort under titles and you'll get a bunch of different options. Sometimes you'll find a motion graphics template that doesn't have very much customization. For example, If I pull in one of these titles here, and you've probably seen these if you've ever seen anything on Facebook or Instagram, these kind of very big block text quotes, these sorts of graphics here. And if you look, there's not a ton of customization. There's a bit, but you can't change the font or the font style. It's basically you replace the text. And there are a few options for positioning. I'll show you another one here. This one, for example, And I'll just set to frame size. This one has very little options for, well, anything. We have a slider here that adjust the padding of the box. This slider here, I don't know what that does, doesn't seem to do much of anything. But this, we can only change the text color, the background box fill and the text. So no text style, font, size, or really anything, we can't even turn off the background. So your mileage may vary with these motion graphics templates. It's definitely something that you want to be aware of. You may see something really cool on Envato. Some of these have very minimal descriptions for the text. So you'll find one that looks great. This one looks great. But until you download this, you'll have no idea cuz it has no description whether or not we can change any of these fonts. And maybe this font will work for you, maybe it won't. Maybe if you change the number of characters, the background will scale. I imagine this one would, but not all of them that I have demoed do. Most of them that I've downloaded work just fine and have a pretty good amount of customization. I demoed this one right here. This one only comes with 16, but it has so much customization that you could take just this one and I could probably realistically use this 10 or 15 different ways, with different fonts, with different colors, different tracking, different arrangements with 1, 2, 3 lines. I could use this as a main banner, as a lower third, as some kind of call out. So the more customization that is has, I think the better, cuz you can not have so many to sort through and you know exactly kind of what it's gonna do and how you can use it. This is another pack that I think works really well. It doesn't say in the description that you can change everything. It says in the video preview that the fonts are changeable, which is nice. This is one that I also demoed right at the beginning of the lesson. This comes with a bunch of different options as well. So this is another great one that I like. I usually don't keep this many in my Browse tab. I usually just will populate this with the ones that I will use most often, which is really just a handful, but I wanted to show you that there are a ton of options available. Most of these that you are seeing here came from three different packs. So all of these on the bottom up until about here are from that pack that has 90 in them. And then these are the 16 from the Smart Title Pack v2. And then there are some Adobe Stock in here, and then a bunch more from that big giant pack. Some more Adobe Stock in here. There are some that I have made. And then more from that big giant pack. And then I have some down here that are labeled box or boxed, and that's another pack that I have that I bought, I believe on VideoHive. But that about wraps it up for this lesson. Coming up in the next lesson, you're gonna learn how to use a motion graphics template for transitions. So check that out coming up next. [MUSIC]
