Preview the motion of the MOGRT inside EG panel
Hover or click a MOGRT in the panel and see the motion. It takes time to drag to sequence and scrub to see if it's what I'm wanting to use, delete, try the next, etc.

Thank you for your suggestions, Yan-Nick and others. As some of the previous comments have noted, Mogrts Exported from Pr can have a preview movie embedded within. Additionally, many (but not all) Stock Ae mogrts have preview movies which you can see in the Essential Graphics Panel > Browse tab within PrPro. Make sure you click on the Mogrt thumbnail first and wait a second for the preview to load. Alternatively, you can click on the Info (i) button in the lower right corner of the Mogrt thumbnail and you will have a little more playback control over the thumbnail in the info view.
As for preview movies embedded into Ae mogrts like what you can do with Pr mogrts, that is an open feature request that we would like to implement someday if possible. I'm going to merge some similar suggestions into this one so that votes and comments count in one place.

How do we still NOT have MOGRT previews on all MOGRTs????

Mogart files are great and are supposed to be there to help speed up your workflow, but when you can't preview them and have to drag the file onto the timeline to preview, it becomes more frustrating.

So live preview ONLY works when mogrts are authored IN Premiere with the additional step of exporting "Video Thumbnail"?

YES!!!!! And allow live preview for ALL mogrts, or provide us a method to create a preview.

I just updated and was disappointed to not have moving previews of ALL mogrts. That is what I understood from you in Vegas. We need motion previews!!

Thanks for the info! Quick question - let's say you make a Motion Graphics template in Ae that has multiple variations of an animation or layout, controlled via expressions with a checkbox or slider. What would you want the video preview in Premiere Pro to be?
1. Would you want it to be just one of those variations, like the default settings, made into a preview?
2. Would you want to generate your own preview video (ex: so you could show the variations within the mogrt) and attach it to the mogrt when you export it?
3. Something else? -

You are correct. Just bought Type Builder and installed. Great selection, but I can't see the motion like you can in Type Builder for AE. Thanks!

Hi Doug, this is possible in Premiere Pro v12.1 for Motion Graphics templates that were authored in Premiere Pro (Export Motion Graphics template > Include video thumbnail) or licensed from Adobe Stock within the Essential Graphics panel.
We are tracking this as a request for mogrts that are designed in After Effects, is that your use case?
Thanks,
Bronwyn
