this is the 3rd time I've seen this issue in maybe a 2-3 year span (meaning each time issue resurfaces its a different mac os and different version of AE and premiere). if you look at the first picture thats what it looks like in AFter Effects. I rendered it out of after effects and brought it into premiere and it looked fine. and I'm on premiere 2025. Then I updated premiere today to 2025.1.0 and when I reopened premiere it had all this nasty blue outlines behind the text in my MOV. the last 2 times I had this happen, I re-rendered the text and it looked fine and then the minute you close out of the proejct and come back in, the issue is back. and can only be solved by re rendering a brand new MOV file and not closing out of premiere.

premiere is doing that glitch again where it adds phantom blue artifacts to my after effects renders. I've reported this bug twice in the past. and its been acknowledged as a bug twice. please see attached screenshot. the source window shows no blue artifacting but the program window (timeline window) does. it wasnt doing this on september 15th (the last time I had the project open). then i opened it today (sep 17th) to do client corrections and theres these random blue artifacts on my after effects renders on the timeline but not in the source window. Mac os Sequoia 15.6.1, Premiere 25.5.0 (build 13)

I'm not sure why this is happening but whenever I quit premiere and reopen it, any of the ProRes 4444 graphic files that are in my sequence starting flashing brightly with a blue tint. I assumed it was just something with the export but the file open in QuickTime perfectly fine. It seems that its just Premiere seeing the files this way. The error is present when I export as well, that's where I first noticed it.

The only thing that "fixes" the issue is totally reexporting the graphics from After Effects with a different file name. I can't just copy/change the file name. I have to totally rexport them with a new name. It's like Premiere has a grudge against these files. Silly Premiere...

I've been exporting graphics from AE with the RGB+ Alpha setting for years now. This issue literally just started. I'm not even sure if it was after an update because I have auto-updates sctivated. But I do suspect it was an update issue.

Here's a GIF of how it should look

And here's a GIF of what happens when I reopen Premiere

I solved the problem by following what you suggested and change the After Effects export setting with Straight (Unmatted) color mode.

Hey team, thank you for sharing this. I quickly tried your method. And you can see there's still an outline around the phone. Also attached the original look in After Effects.

It happens so many years that the MOV with alpha file shows a weird green silhouette when imported into Premiere sometimes. It appears randomly. How to fix this?

I export those mov files from After Effects. For some reason, video producers import them to the Premiere may have this issue sometimes.

My renders from After Effects that I import into Premiere Pro look great at first, then whenever I close and reopen Premiere Pro they get this strange blue effect that also shows up when I export media.

My export settings are formated for Quicktime, and Channel output is RGB + Alpha for transparency.

I've added a screenshot as well.

This only happened with the last few versions of Premiere Pro. I didn't change the way I exported renders from AE, and didn't have this issue previously. The only way I've found to fix it, is either start from scratch by importing the renders again, or downloading an older version of Premiere Pro (which doesn't always work and I can't always get it to open my project).

Am I doing something wrong or is this a new bug?

Hi @Kirsten22

This is a known issue and I am merging this post to the current bug report. Right now the best workaround is to make sure the background is set to black before you export the graphics.

Thank you

this may not fix it altogether but when you do Command K to bring up composition settings, see where it says "background color"? make sure thats not blue.

Hi, I've been having this issue for a few weeks now (since 2025 update) where when I add my alpha mov gfx on my premiere timeline, graphics appear with a blue or red outline. I've tried to change settings, delete media cache but nothing worked...

I was wondring if anyone have had this issue before and knew how to fix it ?

Thank you.

Try changing the Interpret footage Alpha Channel setting.

It origin is Ae save the image to a different alpha setting.

Hello,

I have a sequence of 52 animated chyrons, created in After Effects 25.1. They all exported successfully as Quicktime RGB+Alpha, no audio MOV files. I did this for ease of use and transfer, rather than a PNG sequence.

When I imported the MOV files to my Premiere 24, there was no issue. However, when I upgraded to Premiere 25 (mid-project, oops), rather than being a transparent black and white image, a Cyan hue is present, even showing an outlilne before the graphic fades in - as seen in the videos below.

I'm attaching images of my sequence settings and a screenshot of my After Effects composition.
