Responsive Design

This project began with the dream of implementing a truly responsive design, making the template adjustable and clean for any editor. However, due to some technology restrictions from Adobe, that dream has had a few workarounds in order to bring it to fruition. As soon as the functionality is available, version 2.0 of this template will be cleaner and more elegant.

Adobe added the option of developing Responsive Design Time templates in 2019. This involves using markers to protect animations within a timeline while allowing the overall clip duration to be changed by the end user. Unfortunately, the region that is dynamic in the timeline is stretched or elasticated rather than adapted to the new clip length, which means than any scripting or expressions that use the time variable in that dynamic region still see the composition at the original clip length. If you add the 30 second template to a Premiere timeline and turn on the clock function, it will only count to 30 seconds no matter which way you adjust the in/out points.

For now, instead of providing the ability for the user to change the clip length of the .mogrt in the timeline, there are different versions of the template at different lengths of time. 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes.

We realize this is embarrassing and demoralizing, but it can only get better, right?
