What It Does
Text Replacer for Premiere Pro lets you pull all the text content out of After Effects .mogrt clips on your timeline into a spreadsheet, edit it there, and push it back into Premiere without manually opening each clip. The main use case is localization: export all your lower thirds or title cards to a CSV, hand it to a translator, then reimport the finished file and have every clip updated automatically.
One important caveat: this only works with .mogrt files created in After Effects. Templates built natively in Premiere Pro are not supported.
Key Features
Spreadsheet export and import. Select mogrt clips on the timeline and export their text properties to .xls or .csv. The spreadsheet includes start timecode so you know which clip is which. After editing, import the file back and the plugin matches clips by ID, even if they’ve moved on the timeline.
SRT file support. Beyond spreadsheets, you can export mogrt text directly to an SRT file, or go the other direction and create mogrt clips automatically from an existing SRT. This is useful for building subtitle sequences from a script without placing clips one by one.
Selective export. As of version 1.6.0 you can export only the selected clips rather than everything on the timeline, which helps when you’re working on a specific section.
Formatting preserved on import. Font and text formatting settings are maintained when text is reimported. Earlier versions had a bug where font adjustments were lost; that was fixed in 1.5.0.
Post-action preferences. Options to automatically open the spreadsheet or import report after each operation, and to append a date to report filenames for version tracking.
Who It’s For
This tool is most useful for editors and motion graphics teams producing content in multiple languages, or anyone managing a large number of title cards that need periodic text updates. Localizing a 30-minute corporate video with 80 lower thirds manually is the kind of job this was built to avoid. It’s also handy for news or broadcast workflows where the same .mogrt template gets reused with different names and titles every day.
