Using After Effects Lower Third Logo in Premiere

So I have been learning how to use After Effects and wanted to create a lower third logo to brand our videos. I made it and imported it into After Effects. I tried putting it above and below my main video track, but on top it only shows the logo instead of the video with logo over it, and under it doesnt show it all. Is there something I am missing to make it show correctly? How can make the text only show up over the video like I would with the presets in Premiere. I am just sick of the pre-sets and want to make something that is standard for every video. Thanks!

Hi RachelF!

My first thought is that your lower third does not have a transparent background enabled! Try exporting from After Effects using these guidelines: Exporting a video with a transparent background.

Let me know if that's the answer you're needing!

Thanks for the detailed response! One thing I am struggling to find is getting to that settings screen. I am in my render que what do i click on to bring those preferences in first picture on the post you sent?

Click "Lossless" where the text is blue and it'll open up that window! The most important image in that link I sent you is the last one, so if you have apprehensions about exporting in the format & codec listed in that tutorial I linked, just export in the formats you want and make sure "RGB + Alpha" is selected. I'm 99% sure it'll still be transparent.

Let me know if that works! Happy to keep playing with it if you need.
