So I am trying to export a video that I made in element 3-D on after effects. I am just learning the program and messing around. I am trying to export this with a transparent background, but when I do so inside Premier Pro or OBS studios the black background reappears. I’ve rendered it with QuickTime eight bit plus Alpha channel. It still appears. I’ve used the Adobe media encoder and made it a web file to include Alpha channel and black background still appears please see videos for reference.. I am getting really hung up and defeated and appreciate any help

Premiere doesn't automatically show the transparency grid. Please click on the wrench on the monitor that you're viewing from the in the interface and choose "Show Transparency Grid" and see if this solves the problem.
