Mogrts with protected regions created in AE are sometimes "cut off" when changed in PrPro
I have mogrts in FHD 25fps in AE and the sequence in Prpro is also FHD 25fps. Hmm.
Ok, so what happens is that when I apply them in the sequence they always seem fine. The ins and outs works like a charm. But, (and here's the kicker) when I change the duration of the mograph, sometimes the in OR out (it's different) aren't respected and the mograph "cuts off without the animation. And sometimes, when I change the duration of tha mograph by draging it, the animation starts or stops somewhere towards the middle of the mograph (not at start/end). AND, sometimes it looks perfect, but when reopening the project the animation is cut off again. But other instances of the samne mograph works just fine. This has happend also before, on a Mac, so I think I am doing something wrong here... :-(

Hi All!
I’m thrilled to finally be able to announce that the Premiere Pro v. 14.0.1 that was released last night has new functionality to help resolve issues that happen when the retiming of a Responsive Time Mogrt gets out of whack.
We’ve added a new function called “Reset Duration” in the Graphics top bar menu, which will use the length of the track item in the timeline as the single source of truth for how long the Mogrt should be retimed to. So if anything ends too early all you have to do is select the Mogrt in the timeline, use the Reset Duration command in the top bar Graphics menu, and voila!
This will also work with multiple selections at a time.
No more manual re-trimming or redundant work.
The primary source of the issue stems from relinking to the Mogrt’s aegraphic file in the Motion Graphics Template Media folder. Having multiple projects pointing to the same root aegraphic or moving the project around and relinking to a different version of the same Mogrt can also get users into this state.
Hopefully this will help resolve some of the headaches that y’all have been experiencing. We tested a ton of scenarios, but you creative powerhouses work in a plethora of amazing ways that we cannot always predict. Please feel free to reach out if anything weird continues.
Hope everyone’s New Year is off to a great start,
Dacia

Hi Marlene,
The Reset Duration option will become available only if you have an AE Mogrt with Responsive Time (i.e. have set Protected Regions of time in the .aep itself before export) selected in the timeline.
One way to know if your Mogrt is Responsive Time is if you can stretch the in and out points to whatever length you want. The Responsive Time Mogrts don't have the little white triangle or "dogears" in the corner of the track item in the timeline.
If for sure this is a Responsive Time AE Mogrt though, would you mind sharing a screen recording of whats going on / sending me a link to download the Mogrt thats giving you trouble?
Thanks,
Dacia -

I still have the same problem. "Reset Duration" in the Graphics Top bar is always greyed out for me. Can somebody help? (I'm on 14.0.4)

Finally!! It's not a complete fix but it's much easier than replacing a bunch of mogrt layers again and again. Please add this feature to CC 2019. My team is using CC 2019 since our system is not allowed to update it to the latest version yet.

Sorry for late response!
@james: For example, sometimes the end anim is gone without me doing anything; just restarting the project on a new day. I have one mogrt that has a text and dynamic background. Text and bg have protected in-anim and out anim. But often, and totally random, some (not all) of the mogrts has their out anim gone, so the mogrt ends when the layer ends so to speak, without animation.
And, sometimes, I prlong the mogrt but the out anim doesn't follow, so to speak. Clearing cahce etc doesn't help. This is so weird!
Is thsi sufficient info?

How exactly are you changing the duration of that mogrt?

Thank you for sending me the mogrt which is not working as expected for you. I'll take a look.
Ae Mogrts with Responsive Design - Time can get pretty confusing once you start trimming and/or stretching or squishing them a lot.
