Question

Black and white preview - Media Encoder CC 2019

I was editing a project in After Effects CC 2019. Then I uploaded it to Media Encoder CC 2019 and the preview appeared as black and white, but the After Effects project is colorful. I used the Trapcode Suite plugin in the project. Sorry for the text, I don't speak English.

Can you please post a screenshot of your entire interface of Media Encoder where you see the black and white preview? If you convert your file anyway is it black and white or in color? What happens if you drag a video into Media Encoder instead of sending it from After Effects?

I updated the post with the images attached. This is another project and as you can see some parts are black, it seems that something is missing. I tried to render and still remained black and white. I added the project without going through After Effetcts and it was no use. I added a normal video and it was colored.

Interesting. Here's a random guess. Are you using any blend modes other than Normal? Also, do you have a background layer or are you just using the default background of the composition? In other words, is the bottom-most layer a background layer? If not, try creating a new solid that has the same color as whatever your composition color is when all layers are turned off. By default it's black, but you could have changed it.
