Premiere generated text is affected by background layer

[Ian_DV]

Text built within Premiere appears to be affected by background layers.

It's almost as if there is a pixelated stroke around the text.
I'm demonstrating with a black matte layer, but I was able to recreate this issue on multiple computers using 3 other types of backgrounds, including ones not generated within Premiere.

Please post a screenshot with the text layer selected, showing the Effects Control Panel, the Essential Graphics Panel, the Program monitor, and the Timeline.

Yeah, the line weight of the Text Object in the Graphic gets a little heavier.  I have not done much testing with this issue, but I have noticed it in Premiere Pro. 23.6.2 and 24.1.

One way to avoid this is to use Graphics and Titles > New Layer and stack something behind it in the same Graphic as the Text Object.

@Ann Bens @R Neil Haugen I assume this must be a well-documented issue, but I don't find previous discussions.

Thanks for the screenshot. I see nothing significant, and I can demonstrate the effect you describe. Exporting a frame with the color matter track enabled vs disabled, then stacking those frames and applying the difference effect gives an outline of the text. The image is very faint:

Seen this too. No solution on my end.

Does not make a difference if you put a solid on the timeline or in the EG.

I've had this happen only like once, a few months back. And ... it was minor enough I just ignored it, as it wasn't a crucial to be perfect job. No clue.

Annoying for certain, and in broadcast this would be a no-no.

Good catch! We were able to repro the bug and identify it as a alpha blending issue in the GPU renderer. You can also repro it with non-graphics. We are looking into it! Thank you!

Thanks, Annika!
