Video transparent when image placed underneath. Object Masking lasso used

I used Object Masking to remove my character form the green screen. When placed on any background - video, black, colour matte - object is normal. When placed on any image background, object is transparent. Cannot Interpret Footage as it is extended with AI premiere feature (i have another clip that been untouched and the same problem appears.)

    Thanks for the report.

    Just so I understand correctly:

    • You used Object Masking to isolate a subject from a green screen clip.
    • The masked subject appears correctly when placed over video clips, color mattes, and black backgrounds.
    • However, when the same masked clip is placed over a still image (JPG, PNG, etc.), the subject becomes partially transparent.
    • The issue also occurs with clips that have not been extended using Generative Extend.

    A few questions:

    • Which version of Premiere Pro are you using?
    • What type of image files are you using as backgrounds (JPG, PNG, PSD, TIFF, etc.)?
    • Does the transparency occur with all image formats or only specific ones?
    • If you nest the masked clip and place the nested sequence over the image, does the behavior change?

      Here to help

    Very odd: have no idea what is going on here.

    I had further exported the footage in ProRes 4444, done the mask object again and replaced the image with the exported video of that image.
