    Looks doesn't care for layer transparency. It's a color correction effect, not an effect generator for flare streaks. Your order of operations is simply wrong and your use of the plug-in is crooked. Create whatever anaimation you want first and set it against a solid background before applying Looks. Otherwise simply leran how to use other effects to achieve the same results and retain transparency.

    What exact Ae version? This looks like CS5.5 but Give full numbers.

    What exactly is the problem you are seeing? what exactly does the result look like on other format vs png? Try to be specific and clear. There is no bug I am aware on related to this.

    There's a bug in AE -- it can't use PNG files properly.  Use a different type of file.
