Essential Graphics - Color Problem - Premiere Pro

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?

Correct answer Jose Panadero

It's a shape


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,

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.

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

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
