**Here are some suggestions on Premiere Essential Sound tweaks:**



**Using After Effects Compositions as Essential Graphics Templates:**


(1.) In the Google Drive, go to [Shared Drives > Support&Docs&QA > Documentation Team Stuff > Guides > AE_templates.zip](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EBMtsCONKlUEsuvK1T0HripC_5UutHln) and open up the latest AE template for the video team

(a) NOTE: make sure not to edit this file… save a new copy if you want to be safe!

   
(2.) In the AE file, export the composition as an Essential Graphics Template (and name it)


  
(3.) Save it to your library (i.e. your local Hard Drive Adobe library)



(4.) Open up Premiere, and in the “Effects” layout, open up the Essential Graphics panel



(5.) Drag your saved template onto the sequence timeline, and then when you’ve selected it, you can edit the editable properties of the template in the Essential Graphics panel


> ⚠️ The videos must be exported as 4K H.264 if you intend to upload them directly onto the page rather than on YouTube. Otherwise, they will not be displayed in Mozilla Firefox.
