How to get them:

1. Sign in to your account and make sure the collection is included in your account benefits
2. Download or deploy the matching extension pack as described for your account
3. Open , and use Add folder or extension pack to mount it (or drag it onto the sidebar)
4. Open a collection category on the left and double-click to import; when a commercial template needs it, use Batch activate in the top bar

What is included depends on your account. You can also just add your own .mogrt folders on your computer.

Screen overview

Open from the sidebar. The left side holds the categories and the local folder tree, and the right side the template grid.

Screen areas

Area	What it does

Add folders (drag or button)

The sidebar supports two ways to add:

1. Click + Add folder or extension pack at the bottom and pick a directory or extension pack in the dialog
2. Drag: drag a folder containing .mogrt (several at once is fine) from Finder / File Explorer onto the sidebar area, and release when the dashed hint Drop here to add appears

Figure: drag several Essential Graphics folders onto the dashed area of the sidebar and release to add them as local footage folders. The screenshot shows the Chinese interface.

After adding, the matching root appears on the left; open it to browse the previews in the grid on the right.

Steps

1. Add folders: click Add folder or extension pack, or drag a folder onto the sidebar and release at the dashed hint (several at once is fine)
2. Open a category / folder on the left and browse the previews on the right
3. When needed, turn on Built-in sound effects in the top bar and switch Landscape / portrait
4. With the playhead in place, double-click a template (or drag it in, as the screen supports) to import into Premiere
5. If a commercial template says the source is unverified: click Batch activate in the top bar, which scans all sequence video tracks and writes the activation info

Right-click menu

Right-click a template in the grid:

Figure: right-click with stars, color labels, show in folder, translate template and delete file. The screenshot shows the Chinese interface.

Item	What it does
Stars	Rate this template so you can filter favorites
Color dots	Sort with color labels
Show in folder	Locates the .mogrt in the system file manager
Translate template	Opens the Translation options drawer on the right (see the next section)
Delete file	Deletes the template from disk (be careful)

Translate template (translation drawer)

After you right-click Translate template, Translation options open on the right. They list the control names and text in the template that can be translated; translate in bulk or edit by hand, then Save as copy or Import to timeline. The original file is not overwritten by default. The route and language you pick are remembered for next time.

Figure: Translation options, with controls / text ticked, then save a copy or import to the timeline after filling in the translations. The screenshot shows the Chinese interface.

Area	What it does
Controls / Text	Filter which types show up and take part in translation
Translate	Fills in translations in bulk on the chosen route (follow the screen when sign-in / credits are needed)
Source / Target columns	The left holds the original text in the template and the right can be edited by hand
Save as copy	Saves as basename-translated_n in the same folder and keeps the original template
Import to timeline	Builds a cached copy from the current translation and imports it into Premiere

It works together with Name Translate: this page focuses on the controls and text inside a single mogrt template, while Name Translate focuses on host UI names and DaVinci Resolve Fusion compositions.

FAQ

Q: How do I use the bundled variety-show fancy text and annotation packs?
A: Once they are included in your account and the extension pack is deployed, use Add folder or extension pack in Motion graphics (MOGRT) to mount it, then open a collection on the left to preview and import. See "Bundled collections" above.

Q: How do I import a mogrt into the timeline in Premiere?
A: Open Motion graphics in the sidebar, pick a template and double-click it. Connect the LmBox extension and open a sequence first. For portrait or built-in sound effects, turn on the matching switch in the top bar first.

Q: What is the difference between translating and saving a copy?
A: Translating edits the translations in the drawer; Save as copy writes a new .mogrt and does not overwrite the original; Import to timeline uses the current translation to go straight into Premiere.

Q: How does it relate to the graphics in the older extension panel?
A: The desktop app is the main entry now. The older flow inside the extension panel is documented separately and is not yet available in English.

Q: A commercial template shows an unverified source?
A: After connecting Premiere, click Batch activate in the top bar, or select the template on the timeline and the extension will try to write the activation info automatically.
