MOGRTs support blending modes set inside AE when creating them
I have created a style look in AE that uses blending modes on solid layers with generators. They look great in there when I add a clip under the design and use pass through in the layer settings. However when I export them as a MOGRT they break when trying to use them inside of Premiere because Premiere does not support using the blending modes set inside of the AE project. This is a big snag because now the only solution I can find is to recreate the look in Premiere and save it as a project so that our other editors on the team can open that project as a start point.
MOGRTs are great and have come a long way, but making it so they hold the blending modes and pass them through to the layers under would save a lot of edit time and really speed up creativity with trying different custom MOGRT styles.

Its now possible to add videos to the Mogrt from within PR so that any of your effects and blend modes will be applied to the video you feed the Mogrt. Find more info here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/using/replace-images-videos-motion-graphics.html

Hi Paul,
I'm not exactly sure what your set-up is but I ran a quick test with what I think you're describing and the Media Replacement workflow totally honors the Multiply Blend Mode (and others) when a shape layer is over the new footage in Premiere once it's replaced in the AE Mogrt.
Here's a screen recording of the basic workflow. (too big to attach)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bwekx1ycQh6b8EVBqA4xM-vEPAYt-9qu/view?usp=sharingI also attached a few stills from the video here for a quick view. But in order for AELib to "see" the footage in Premiere, that footage has to be replaced in the Mogrt itself. The Mogrt can't act like an adjustment layer over footage in the PR sequence itself, since all of that is invisible to Tiny Inception AE™️ inside of Premiere
Please let me know if I misunderstood the request though. You have my email as well, so please feel free to send over the Mogrt that is not behaving as you expect and I can see what's going on.
Cheers,

The Media Replacement thing is great (and provides a workaround - kind of). But if you're NOT using the media replacement technique, Premiere still does not respect the blending modes of the layers in a mogrt. I'm sure many people would love the simple ability to create a caption with a mogrt with a background (probably just a solid rectangle) in Multiply Mode over their footage. Could we please have Premiere respect the blending modes of AE layers?

like a Collapse Transforms button in AE does for 3D comps

Essential for templates we're creating in our facility as well.

That would be fine James. Wherever you think it would get the best exposure for the topic. Thanks!

Good suggestion, Dan. Do you mind if I move this to the Essential Graphics sub-category, so that we can see its votes in comparison to other EG requests?

This is the final look in AE.. vs what Premiere brings in as a MOGRT
