Whether you’re working on a personal project or have a portfolio of clients, using Adobe Stock templates in your Adobe Premiere Pro videos is key to being more efficient.
Adding motion graphics to your videos will elevate your work and open up a world of possibilities.
Usually, motion graphics take time and skills – not to mention a subscription to After Effects.
Here, I’ll show you how to use the customizable and licensable motion graphics templates from Adobe Stock inside Premiere Pro, which will streamline your workflow in an amazing way.
Before diving into the instructions, I’ll explain why you should choose Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Stock and give you a price overview to help you decide if it’s the right solution.
So, let’s get started!
What is Adobe Premiere Pro?

Adobe Premiere Pro is professional video editing software that’s part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. It allows timeline and non-linear video editing and has audio editing capabilities.
Adobe Premiere Pro is used to edit high-quality video for broadcasting, advertising, shorts, films, etc. The content can be used for TV, cinema, or online video playback.
You can import videos, photos, graphics, and audio files to edit them and create unique content. You can also add titles, motion graphics, and other effects.
Adobe Premiere Pro is often used in combination with Adobe After Effects. This software is useful to production studios, designers, social media managers, marketing firms, and others.
Premiere Pro has been the industry standard since before it became a subscription-based program in 2013. Among its most famous users is the multinational news channel CNN, which was one of the first to adopt it in its workflow.
It’s also been used to edit popular shows and films such as Gone Girl and Terminator: Dark Fate.
Of course, it can also be used by non-professionals, although they usually choose Adobe Premiere Elements.

Like all Adobe products, Premiere Pro is a subscription-based software.
The full version of Adobe Premiere Pro plus the Adobe Express Premium plan costs US$22.99/mo for individuals and US$37.99/mo per license for teams. This includes 100GB of cloud storage.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to the Creative Cloud All Apps plan, which grants you access to over 20 apps, including Adobe Premiere Pro. This subscription costs US$59.99/mo for individuals and US$89.99/mo per license for teams.
Adobe Premiere Pro has a 7-day free trial period.
What is Adobe Stock?
Adobe Stock is a platform owned by Adobe that allows you to find royalty-free creative assets. These assets include photographs, videos, illustrations, graphics, and templates.
You can also access related services such as Adobe Fonts and plug-ins using Adobe Stock’s search bar. It’s important to remember that those are not included in the Adobe Stock license or pricing – they’re separate services listed within Adobe Stock for easy access.
You can access Adobe Stock directly on its website, and you can use the assets with any software – even if it’s not from Adobe.
You can also access it from inside Adobe apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Premiere Pro. This makes it easy to search for, try out, and eventually license the Adobe Stock assets.

Having a subscription plan to an Adobe Creative Cloud app doesn’t grant you a license to use an Adobe Stock asset. You must subscribe to a separate Adobe Stock plan or buy credit packs to use the assets.
It’s also important to review the type of license you’re purchasing to understand the terms of use.
You can review the pricing options on the Adobe website. Subscription plans start at US$29.99/mo, and you can buy credit packs from US$49.95.
Remember that prices vary depending on the media type and the licensing terms. There’s a selection of assets that you can license for free.
What Are Adobe Stock Templates?
Templates are predesigned assets that are already composed of various elements that the user can replace or edit to create their unique content.
In Adobe Stock, you can find templates for various Adobe apps, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro.
Currently, contributors can’t freely upload templates like other assets. Instead, Adobe Stock’s template collection is by invitation only. This way, only a selected group of artists can submit them, which ensures the quality of the templates you’ll find on the platform.
According to Adobe’s disclaimer, they may expand in the future, allowing other contributors to submit templates.
How To Use Adobe Stock Templates in Premiere Pro?
Adobe Stock templates are fully compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro and are very easy to use.
You can browse Adobe Stock’s motion graphics templates here. However, you can also access the assets from inside Premiere Pro.
Here’s how you can use Adobe Stock templates in Premiere Pro.
Open your project in Premiere Pro.
Open the Essential Graphics panel by clicking the Graphics button in the workspace.
Click on Adobe Stock to browse for templates to preview and license. You can filter the results by Free or Paid templates. If you already have some, you’ll find them in the section My Templates – here, you’ll also find some basic options.
Once you find a template you like, click and drag it into your timeline.
To customize it, click on the graphic in the timeline or on the Edit button.
Use the options that will become available in the side panel to customize the template.
If you need to buy a license for the template you chose, you’ll get a pop-up window inside Premiere Pro to purchase it.
