Basic shape (rectangle) appears during playback/preview but does not render in final exported .mp4

I have a very basic 1:00 min. video that just has some very basic 3 seconds of titles in the beginning. I inserted a basic shape and drew a rectangle to act as a background for another layer of text over top. The weirdest thing is happening. When I play the video within Adobe Premiere, I see the rectangle background fine. But when I export the final project... it does not appear.

I have checked that the video track is 'visable' and the actual clip itself has "enabled" checked. So... I can't imagine what might be the cause of having this one rectangle not show up in the final 1080 HD export .mp4.

**UPDATE: I figured out that I had set the opacity of this rectangle to 33% so it did look very light in color. While it was meant to be subtle, I didn't mean for it to not show up at all. Is there any kind of bug documentation or best-practices about opacity and shapes not showing up?

I discovered the problem. It is not that the shape does not show up in the final export. The shape does show up. The problem is that there is some issue with "Gamma shift" that causes colors to look different in an exported file from how they look inside Premiere Pro. I had to download some LUT that I used upon Export that corrects this shift... and now it works. Weird issue.

Are you on a mac? Import the export file back into PP and see if it matches the timeline. With and without the lut. You'll see then which one looks like the timeline.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the issue. Could you share comparative screenshots of your preview and exported file to illustrate the problem? That can help us better understand the situation. If you add the exported media back to Premiere Pro and preview it, will the box still lose its opacity? Please let us know.

Thanks,

Ishan

When you say inserted a shape can you tell us its source and format? Perhaps a screen shot of your work area would also be helpful.
