Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Motion Graphics Template Import Error

  • Motion Graphics Template Import Error

    Posted by Nick Amyoony on June 7, 2017 at 9:55 am

    I made a motion graphics template in After Effects, and every time I try to use it in my timeline in Premiere Pro, I get this error:

    “This Motion Graphics template was created in After Effects. To use this template in Premiere Pro, please install After Effects (trial or license) and retry.

    Learn more: adobe.com/go/mgt”

    As I’ve said, though, I made the template in After Effects (I already have it installed). Can anyone help me out?

    Thank you!

    Yup, versions match. I’m using:

    premiere pro 11.1.1
    after effects 14.2.0.198

    Here’s some more details:

    Windows 10.

    I have the latest versions of PP and AE installed.

    I can use all of the templates that came with the Essential Graphics tab, including the AE ones. I can even make my own templates, in AE, and they work in PP (I created a solid, and dragged the Opacity option into the Graphics tab. Exported it. Opened it in Premiere and it worked.)

    However, with a specific AE project that I’m working on, as I’m importing the Graphic into PP, it gets stuck at 15%, and says I need to install AE. Keep in mind this was an old AE project file that had to be converted when I downloaded CC 2017 (not sure if that could be the issue).

    Any suggestions would be great!

    even though they are the same versions have you tried using save as to save as a previous version of AE then importing it

    What do you mean? Can you elaborate?

    Just tried it; doesn’t work, unfortunately.
