Can't see Photoshop layer after I export it from After Effects

[Guest]

Basically, I used a logo that I made from Photoshop on Premiere Pro. Then, I sent my Premiere Pro sequence to After Effects.

When I export it to a .mov file from After Effects, everything is absolutely fine, except I can't see my logo anymore.

I am quite new to the whole editing world, so I'm really confused as to what I need to do to make sure my logo appears even after I export it from After Effects.

Thank you in advance for the support!

Nobody can tell you much without more details and screenshots. That said, I think you completely misunderstand the whole workflow. Impossible to even begin to figure out thinsg with so little info.

Hi,

I apologize, I don't really know where to start, so I will go step by step on what I did with screenshots.

After making my logo on photoshop (Logo.psd), I literally dragged the file into my project and clicked okay.

Then, I put the logo on top of my video and positioned it to my desire.

I saved this file as Test.prproj and opened up After Effects, where I imported the premiere pro sequence using Adobe Dynamic Link.

Then I made a new composition out of it.

Now I immediately see the issue... The logo isn't placed correctly as done on premiere pro, but I can still see the logo.

I export using these Render/Output settings below and click on Render.

Now when I open up the final product using VLC media player, I don't even see my logo anymore...

Again, I apologize in advance at how novice I am with these programs, but I am trying to learn the process step by step!

Your help is greatly appreciated... Thank you so much!

I guess I will ask why you're pushing this through AE, but I'll assume there is some additional work happening there that you didn't show in the screenshots.

You might just be running into a quirk of dynamic link. Try bringing the logo directly into AE, line it up in the same position, then turn in off in the PrPro sequence. That work?

I concur with Kyle. Import the file into AE rather than Premiere. It seems to me that Dynamic Link is not "seeing" the temporary version of the PSD file correctly that is created in the project folder when imported in Premiere and thus things go belly up.
