Hi, I am attempting to import a Pro Res 4444 file with a transparent background into After Effects, but every time I attempt to do so the program is creating a black border around the footage I am trying to use. In the past I have done interpret footage and changed it to premultiply which has fixed this problem in the past. After switching computers and redownloading After Effects, this method is no longer working. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please share your system info? Like OS and version, CPU, RAM, GPU vRAM, Ae version? Thanks. Also a screen grab of your issue will be helpful.

I am using AE 22.0.1, my macOS is Monterey 12.0.1, my CPU is Apple M1 Pro, my GPU is also the Apple M1 Pro because it is all one chip now, my RAM is 16gb and there is no vRam because M1 Pro Max chip. 

 

I am attaching 2 screen grabs, the first how I see it when put in front of the background in Final Cut, the second is it after exporting from Final Cut then put into After Effects. In both programs I have added the background in seperately to show the issue that I am having.

Sorry I believe the images switched so the first is After Effects and the second is Final Cut Pro.
