About Live Text Templates
You can create text template compositions in After Effects wherein the source text can be edited in Premiere Pro. Any composition with text layers can be used as a text template, and unlocked text layers in that composition can be edited in Premiere Pro.
With After Effects CC April 2017 release, you can use Motion Graphics templates to create graphics, which can be shared and edited in Premiere Pro. The Motion Graphics templates expand on text templates in After Effects.
Export compositions as text templates
You can share After Effects compositions as text templates with Premiere Pro as a single, packaged file that contains all the assets required for that composition. The template behaves like any other imported footage within Premiere Pro, with the added ability to modify the text. Using this feature, you can easily send a text template as a single file to the editor. To make this feature work, you need a free or licensed copy of After Effects installed on the same computer on which you have installed Premiere Pro.

-
Choose File > Export > Composition as Text Template or Composition > Export Composition as Text Template.

Save the file as a .aecap file. You can import this file in to Premiere Pro and modify the text.
Opomba:After exporting the .aecap file, you cannot edit it in After Effects.

See the Live text templates section in Premiere Pro for details specific to Premiere Pro.
Motion Graphics templates
In After Effects, you can add different controls, modify them, and then pack them as shareable Motion Graphics templates. Motion Graphics templates expand on the text templates in After Effects and give more tools to create shareable assets. For more information, see Creating Motion Graphics templates using Essential Graphics panel.
