Essential Graphics - Color Problem - Premiere Pro

[Hylkewolf]

Hello,
I created an Essential Graphic in Adobe After Effects and imported it in Premiere Pro.
Everything works well except for 1 thing, the color.

In After Effects i use an color red in the visual (this part can't be changed, only the text of my graphics can be changed). Everywhere the color appears. In the visual render from After Effects and also in the visual render in the Essential Graphics window from Premiere Pro. But when i import it into my sequence, the color dissapears and turns black. For the rest, everything works fine.

It stays black, even after rendering the video.

The problem appeared in the latest 2019 version, and in the 14.0 (2020) version.

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

Could you share a screen capture of your original composition in AE Essential Graphics panel?? We need more info for trying to help.

The coding example for ' Color Control 'The example in After Effects (blue background is the main)The example in Premiere Pro

[Jose Panadero]

What is that element in the background (solid, shape layer, etc..)?

[Hylkewolf]

It's a shape

[Jose Panadero · Accepted solution]

Try to remove the color parameter on the Essential Graphics panel. Add a Fill effect to your Shape Layer. Add the Color parameter of your Fill effect to your Essential Graphics panel (so this is the color parameter you will publish to Premiere, not the native one of the shaep layer). Tell us if it works,

This worked! Not the way i was hoping that it should worked, but for now i have a solution. Thnx for the reply!

Hey Guys,

have nearly the same problem. My Essential Graphic has a Shape Layer with #10151a. In After Effects it is shown as that. After the import in Premiere 2020, the color is different but shown as #10151a. I filled the shape layer with an extra fill mask as suggested. Still have the issue.

Any other ideas?

Thank you!

Here you can see the problem. Top color is a nativ solid by PremierePro2020, the lower color is the Essential Graphic. Both have the color #10151a

Are you using color management in After Effects?

I connected some glow colors via expression to one particular Fill Effect color. This color is set to Essential Graphics. Dandy. On a very similar comp (which i duplicated beforehand), differing only in some minor, unrelated details, I do the same: Hook every glow across several layers to one particular Fill Effect color. Right click to set it as Essential Graphics, and:

"After Effects warning: Property is unrelated to "FIRST COMP" and will not affect rendering".

Same happens when I re-do the steps in yet another duplicate comp. As far as I can remember, I never had this issue in the past / with past versions.

Just upgraded to 2020, et voila... typical Adobe bug-merry-go-round

And speaking of bugs, I can't even edit my original post. The three "more" dots remain silent.

Wanted to add the usual: Win10, all drivers up to date, 32 gigs ram, etc.

The faulty essential graphics entry appears red, by the way.

Ah yes, I'm talking about AE. Not Premiere.

[The Very Nout]

So I closed Ae, opened the project, et voila: "Internal verification error, sorry! string at index has wrong match name".

I knew what's gonna happen when i "upgrade"... I was meant to be working, but naaah, hours of bug hunting, as friggin usual

Although this thread was 5 years ago, I got the same problem in Premiere Pro 2024, but finally I found a solution for that. Just change the Language of the two programs (After and Premiere) to English (en_EN) and it should fix the problem with the color control.
