Essential Graphics text asset causing Premiere to freeze.
Essential Graphics text asset causing Premiere to freeze.
I created a simple text template in the AE, via the Essential Graphics panel, containing a texture (.png) and a layer of text with luma matte.
The template included scale and position controls for both the texture and text layer.
Applying the asset (Motion Graphics Template Media) in a Premiere sequence is editable and responsive for the first few actions, but soon causes the application to freeze.
I tried limiting the use of position controls, and resizing and trying different formats of the still image, but Premiere still crashes under every circumstance.
All versions updated. Is this a bug, or an issue with the still image and my system's moderate graphic cards?

I have the same setup and this is the most frustrating thing in the world. I've come to the conclusion: Just don't use mogrts.

This happens often to me as well. I have to force quit premiere and reload to make more changes. If I avoid scrubbing over or playing back the EG asset, the problem doesn't occur.

If you can post an email contact or some other way that I can get that problematic mogrt from you, then I can probably tell you more after trying it.
