Article summary

This article is written for Premiere Pro CC. If you use any older version, we highly recommend you to update it to the newest.

Here we give a tip to change fonts in .mogrt templates in Adobe Premiere Pro. This tutorial is intended especially to beginner users of Adobe Products.

The font setting is changeable in Adobe Premiere in some of the mogrt files, and not in others. It depends on the font setting when the .mogrt file is created. Not until you import it to Adobe Premiere that you tell whether it is changeable or not.

First, in order to import .mogrt files, please refer to “How to import .mogrt in Premiere”.

Then, follow the ways shown below to change a font of .mogrt in the two above-mentioned cases.

A. With Font Changeable in Premiere

  1. Drag and drop the mogrt file to a sequence.

  2. Select the footage, then you can edit it on Essential Graphics Panel. Click the text you want to edit.
