Troubleshooting
MOGRT import errors
Applying a MOGRT-based pack element throws an error.
MOGRT (Motion Graphics Template) based packs have a few Premiere requirements.
1. A sequence must be open
MOGRTs apply to the timeline — if there's no active sequence the operation errors. Open a sequence first, then click the effect.
2. Essential Graphics path must be writable
DragMotion copies MOGRTs into Premiere's "Local" Essential Graphics folder:
- Win:
%APPDATA%/Adobe/Common/Essential Graphics/Local/ - Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Essential Graphics/Local/
The folder gets auto-created if missing, but unusual Adobe permission setups can fail.
3. Mac needs a node binary
On Mac the MOGRT parser needs a node binary. DragMotion auto-downloads this the first time you use a MOGRT. If you see "Node.js not found":
- Close and re-open the panel (triggers auto-download)
- Check your internet connection
- Verify
bin/nodeexists in your AppData
4. Premiere version too old?
DragMotion supports Premiere Pro 2020 (CC 14.0) and later. Earlier versions had a different MOGRT API and may error. Update Premiere.
Still erroring?
Email support@dragmotion.com with pack name + Premiere version + the full error message.
