Question

Imported titles from After Effects have a weird aura in Premiere

When I import a title I created in After Effects into PREMIERE it has a weird dropshadow color added

 

I created a simple title in After Effects. I exported the title with an Alpha Channel from After Effects.

If I play it on my computer it looks fine. However after I import it into Premiere... it suddenly has this weird blue glow dropshadow pixely color around it. It wasn't doing this yesterday and now today it's suddenly appeared.

I'm running the latest Apple Mac Pro and with an AMD Radeon VII graphics card.

 

Any help as to why it's doing this would be appreciated. I'm also running Premiere 14.0.4

I'm having the same issue. Appears to be a problem with the drop shadow effect. If you find a workaround please let me know!

    I see that you use an unusual resolution and the Animation codec. Just guessing here, but Animation is ancient and still good, but in your case i would try to render out using the CineForm codec as per the screen dump below.

    why use the GoPro Cineform over the Animation?

    Cineform is a much newer codec, is very good at handling alpha channels, and Premiere works very well with it. As far as I understand this, those would be the reasons for using it. Quick to test, just do it, see if it works better.

      Good morning everyone, I booted up Premiere this morning to continue working on a commercial and my titles that I fixed re-exported on Friday have the same problem AGAIN... can someone please tell me why my titles are creating this weird pixelly aura. It's beginning to get really frustrating and is hampering my work.

      I am sure it has something to do with the alpha channel.

        Very grateful for your quick reply Ann, I'm lol seriously at a loss. I need to export with an Apha Channel to use this on this Lexus spot. After I opened the original After Effects project on Friday and simply re-exported new versions of the same thing they looked fine and were normal after importing into Premiere. Seem inbetween closing out of Premiere and reopening this morning, they decided to do this weird thing again. As far as I know, they only way to import created titles from after effects with a transparency is to export using RGB + Alpha from After Effects. Unless I'm unaware of a different means.

        Just use File/Import or right-click on the project (header, to right of search box) and select Import, then select the project and it will show you a list of Comps, pick the one you want and done.

          Thank you. I ended up just recreating my titles in After Effects and re exporting them. I think the issue came from either the Drop Shadow or the Stroke I used in After Effects and it going a little Haywire within Premiere.

            Did you try importing the Comp directly. That way you don't have to use an Alpha channel.

            Not sure how to do that. I did re-render another version out of After Effects and imported that into Premiere and it looks fine. I'd rather not recreate a bunch of new versions. Not sure why it suddenly did this. Really weird.

            Might need to interprete the alpha channel of the clip in Pr.

              Try turning off 'composite in linear colour' in the sequence settings.

              Please try rendering. Press return with the timeline selected.

              Thank you for the quick response. I have rendered it out, numerous times. I have exported it again all have the same problem. I also deleted render files and re-rendered it and the problem still persists. It wasn't a problem yesterday. They looked fine. No weird blue glow. It looks pixelated. When I open the original file in After Effects and render it's fine. This only happens when I import it into Premiere, as of today.
