MOGRTs are basically input modules, with objects that have already been created and can be changed or customized. They can’t be “applied” to existing titles.
You can, however, use Master Styles to create a set of text parameters (size, shadow, opacity, etc.) and apply those to text objects you’ve already created. In Essential Graphics, create a text object just the way you want it, then go to Master Styles and choose Create Master Style. Give it a relevant name. Now you can go to other titles you’ve created, select the text object, and select your preset in the Master Styles pulldown.
So if all you need to do is apply a text style, that’s an easier way to do it. If you want to have a more complex treatment to already-created titles (with shapes and/or animation), I’m afraid you’ll have to create one, duplicate it for all your titles, and update the text throughout. If you’ll be using the same treatment in future projects, you can save it as a MOGRT.

Definitely go with proxies. They’ll help your editing go more smoothly, and all your exports will still be from the original files.

Oh, and keep it. Definitely keep it.

Calibration isn’t something you have to do often, especially if your monitor is in a consistent environment and is treated well. Properly doing it requires some knowhow and equipment, neither of which I have, so I send my Flanders monitor to Atlanta every couple of years for proper calibration, which they do free. You might see if Ikegami does that.
In L.A., there should be any number of capable engineers who can do the calibration either on site or in their office for a reasonable fee, and then you don’t have to do it again for a while. Ikegami might even have an office there and can recommend someone.

Interpret and 40% should be basically identical, but the bullet proof way is interpret.

That’s amazing. He may oversell the compatibility a bit – no caveats about features of newer versions of Premiere not being available in older ones – but this is a great technique. Thanks, Ann.

That seems like a lot of unnecessary nesting. A Multicam Sequence is a nested sequence. The key is a clip effect, so applying it to a nested sequence just means more for Premiere to have to think about. I would:
– Create the multicam sequence with all camera angles
– Open the multicam sequence in a timeline. This is different from laying it into a timeline. Right-click on the multicam sequence in the bin and choose “open in timeline.”
– Temporarily move all the camera angels up one track and put some background on V1, preferably something close to your final background
– Mute all but one angle and apply your best key, checking the screen matte and the final composite on the background. Repeat with other angles.
– Remove the temp background and move the angles back down.Now you can use your multicam sequence in a timeline and your keys are already set.

Do you need both audio tracks – is there something different from the sync sound versus the camera sound? Herb is correct about the phasing. I would use only one track – either the camera or the sync sound – all the time.

You can do this under the Browse tab of Essential Graphics. Click the New Folder button to the right of the second pulldown menu.
