Has anyone fixed this issue?

Hi Max,

That is so incredibly frustrating. Was there a crash report generated after the app failed?

It looks like the Mogrt from Envato that you linked is a Media Replacement Mogrt. If so, what kind of footage are you dropping into the Essential Graphics Panel?

Would you be able to share the project or a video capture of what of the failure so we can try and reproduce the problem?

It would also be super helpful to know what version of Premiere you're using and your system specs.

Thanks,
Dacia

This is what I see before it crashes

I am also having this problem, I've painfully managed to use the MOGRT to finish a project but now its too slow to export.

I used this - https://elements.envato.com/gallery-slideshow-ZCRAEGE

Please help... I could lose my job over this if it's not complete in time!

Hi Nastacia,

Can you share what version of Premiere you're using and your system specs please?

Mogrts can be slow for a multitude of reasons-- expression-heavy comps, 3D layers, lots of render-intensive effects, etc. Envato is a third-party marketplace so it's hard for us to know exactly what is wrong with your specific Mogrts without being able to open them up and see what the slowdown could be due to. I'll email you directly if you want to share them.

There are also ways to optimize them to make them more nimble. One thing you can do is open them up in AE and run the new Composition Profiler on them. This will show you what layers are taking the most time to render.

To open a Mogrt natively in AE:
1. Launch AE
2. Use File > Open
3. Select the Mogrt file
4. Follow the dialog that pops up and asks you what folder you want top extract the project to
and boom you've got the .aep
Every Mogrt has the related .aep inside

Once you have the .aep opened in AE, click on the small icon at the bottom left of the app. This will show you what layers are the most "expensive" render-wise and you may want to replace some of these layers with pre-rendered files if there isn't anything in them that will change in Premiere.

Another way that performance can be impacted negatively is when there are too many versions of a design crammed into the same Mogrt. If each version is relying on a ton of expressions (which they often are) to make them responsive to changes, then all of the expressions in all of the variations of the design are being run by AE... even the ones that aren't visible. That can really slow things down. Re-exporting these versions as individual Mogrts can be very helpful to boost performance as well.

The other thing about Mogrts behaving well in Premiere is that they typically need to be Pre-Rendered (I use Render Selection after making my desired edits), in order to see a smooth playback. Giving the AE inside of PR the ability to render and cache the animations before hitting playback is simply a limitation of the way AE and Premiere communicate those value changes and the resulting frames.

We are hoping to bring Multi-Frame Rendering to the version of AE inside of Premiere soon. Fingers crossed that will help with performance as well.

In the meantime, the best thing is to see if it's possible to optimize the Mogrts. I'll email you directly now and see what we can glean from cracking open the files.

Thanks,
Dacia

Any solution to this? I just subscribe to Envato Elements and all the mogrts I download are useless due to such intense lag I might as well animate everything myself.

Hi Brandy! I will send you an email so we can look at this more closely

Hi, I'm having this problem with mogrts too. I paid for one - specifically to use for a project in Premiere Pro, and it lags/won't work as intended - and worse, slows down my entire project as it skips and lags.
In fact, all the free mogrts do this too (tried replacing the one I bought, with different free ones on the Adobe site after getting desperate).
This is really really frustrating. And I've got a Macbook pro 2020.
My project is due in a cpl days.

Awesome! Thank you Marc 🙏🏽

I will email you directly.

Hi Dacia,
Wie converted the Morgts in AE21 to work with them.

I would love to share the Morgt with you- and a screen recording.
Could I send it via PM because it is developed by our company and don't know the rules with the copyright.
How could I get in contact with you -
Greetings
Marc

Hi Marc and Mod-AP,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this and I would really love to help. I've been replying to users who are complaining about this issue for while, and no one will share any of their files or reply back. This makes it incredibly difficult to narrow down what might be the cause of the slow down.

Mogrts can be slow for a multitude of reasons-- expression-heavy comps, lots of render-intensive effects, etc. There are also ways to optimize them to make them more nimble.

It sounds like the Mogrts you are working with were performing better in previous releases?
Can you please share what version your Mogrts were performing well in, what version they started slowing down?

It's also way easier to help repro a potential bug or help give guidance on how to optimize your Mogrts if I can check them out myself. If you could share them with me that would be super helpful.

I need some help to try and help. So, if you could please send me a few of your simple mogrts, and maybe if you're up to it, a screen recording of what you're experiencing, we can have something to go on, and get to the bottom of things.

Will you be the gem that gets back to me finally?

I hope so!

Thanks,
Dacia

@dacia
I also have these problems with our essential graphics.
I have massive lag in my performance and as written before far longer rendering times.
My System: MacBookpro,2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7,32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4,Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB.
I am running Adobe Premiere and After Effects in the newest version and (due to my company) in the 2021 Version.
Please help

We also experienced extremely slow performance with some custom made AE Essential Graphics in Premiere (CC2021 on new HP Z4 Workstation, Nvidia RTX4000, 64GB RAM, etc.)
The .mogrt was made on macs with CC2020. Still found no solution to that.

Did anyone actually solve this problem? I'm still up to my neck in pixel mud... can't use simple mogrts with the latest 2021 Premiere.

Hi Aya,

I'm sorry you're experiencing that. Sharing your files will definitely help us diagnose what the issue might be. Can you please also let me know what version of Premiere Pro you're using and what your system specs are?

Thank you so much!
Dacia

I have been having the same issue, pretty much with any MOGRT I have downloaded. I can share the files if you would like.

I've been having the same issue, but only for the past few months. Before that, MOGRTs rendered fairly easily. Has this problem been resolved yet?

Hi Dixon,

That sounds super frustrating. Would you be able to share the Mogrt via Dropbox or Google Drive?
Or if you can change the extension for the mogrt file to .zip, then attaching it will work. This forum doesn't allow .mogrt files to attach, unfortunately.

Thanks,
Dacia
