## Setting up your project

### Create a new sequence

In your project, create a new sequence. Adjust the Frame Size to match the requirements for the HLD. Your video should be **2160 pixels** wide and **3840 pixels** high.

### Open the graphics templates window

Once you've made the new sequence you can choose `Window` -> `Workspace` -> `Graphics and Captions` and then choose the `Graphics Templates` panel.&#x20;

Alternatively, you can open the `Graphics Templates` panel directly from the Window Menu by choosing the `Graphics Templates` option.

### Install the Looking Glass motion graphics template

In the `Graphics Templates` panel choose the **Install Motion Graphics Template** option, and then select the ***Looking Glass HLD Template.mogrt*** file from your downloads folder, or wherever the template is saved.&#x20;

Once you've imported the template you can drag it directly into your timeline.&#x20;

## Using the motion graphics template

The Looking Glass motion graphics template has a few layers you can adjust.&#x20;

* **Source** - allows you to replace and position the main content in the alcove.
* **Background** - allows you to apply a colored background to the alcove.
* **Alcove** - a representation of the Looking Glass HLD's embedded holographic volume.
* **Reflection** - an automatic setup that adds a reflection of your main content to your scene.
* **Shadow** - an automatic setup that adds a shadow created from the main content of your scene.&#x20;

### Editing the template's properties

Next to `Graphics Templates`, switch your panel to show the `Properties` window, then select your template in the timeline. This will show you all the options you have to edit.&#x20;

**Source**

You can replace the main content of the MOGRT by double clicking the `Source` content, this will allow you to drop in any media you've already imported to Premiere.&#x20;

Once you've replaced the main content, you can double click it to apply effects like `ultraKey` to remove the background. We recommend using content that can be or already has been chroma keyed easily.

**Background -** we provide a simple linear gradient effect which allows you to tint the background of the holographic element of the HLD.&#x20;

**Shadow -** we provide a few adjustment sliders to allow you to adjust the shadow to best fit your content. The shadow is automatically generated from your content. You can also adjust the tint of the shadow by changing the fill color. This is mostly helpful when you've also changed the `background` color.

**Reflection** - we provide a few adjustment sliders to allow you to adjust the reflection to best fit your content. The reflection is automatically generated from your content.

**Alcove** - a simple preview of the 3D volume of the HLD display. This should be turned off before exporting content.

## Previewing and exporting for HLD playback

Once you’ve exported your video, we recommend opening it in [**HLD Author**](https://hlddocs.lookingglassfactory.com/apps-and-tools/hld-author).

HLD Author lets you:

* Preview how your content will appear on a Hololuminescent Display
* Automatically export the video in the correct format for playback on the included [HLD Demo Media Player](https://hlddocs.lookingglassfactory.com/managing-content/using-the-demo-media-player)

This is the easiest way to confirm framing, depth, and orientation before deploying content to a device.
