After Effects Composition removing and altering my text from Premiere.

[DaviddivaD]

Hi guys! Im really hoping that someone can help me understand why After Effects will not just leave my text files alone. I mainly edit "gaming" vidoes for youtubers and I do a lot with subtitles. So I add stroke, drop shadow, etc... BUT when I try to "replace with after effects composition" for the sake of tracking text to an in-game characters head using AE's motion tracker, it completely ruins how the text looks. The stroke gets skinnier and the drop shadow is completely gone! I've tried to look up why this is and the best thing I can find was about how AE interperates text files, and it doesn't share the same effects panel with PP.

I need some way to protect the look of the text as it goes into AE, any ideas?

Hey DaviddivaD, thanks for making a post about this! Let's see if we can figure it out.

I can see that your text in After Effects has a thinner stroke and is a darker color red. When you switch back to Premiere, does it look the way it's supposed to?

Have you tried right-clicking the clip in your Premiere timeline and selecting "Nest" before you replace it with an After Effects composition? 

Let us know,

Thanks for the response! Yes, I have tried to nest the text before replacing it with the composition. (Not sure why I forgot to include that, haha). But that was my hope too. That the nest would somehow "protect" the text from being altered by AE but no dice. The text does NOT revert to its original look once I go back to PP, it is "permanent." Unless I undo the comp.
I have also tried to recreate the text in AE like it appears on PP but AE's effects just don't line up the way they do in PP. So unfortunately it doesn't look right to me.  
The fix for this seems like it would be so simple. If there was just a way for me to, for lack of a better term, cement the look of the text before it went into AE it would be solved. For Ex. I use the Transform effect w/ lots of shutter angle to get a "pop in" look on the text. And I had a similar issue with that not translating, I could not get the motion blur to come through to AE when I replaced with comp. BUT within the transform effect there is the "Use Compositions Shutter Angle" box, which I guess locks the shutter angle to what you set in PP. 

Sorry for the long winded and kinda all over the place answer!

Make sure that both Premiere Pro and After Effects are on GPU Acceleration renderer,

and both are using the same Color Space. These can be checked in Project Settings.

Let us know what happens.

Concerning Motion Blur, you can animate your text inside After Effects and turn Motion Blur on,

from both the text layer and composition, as well as setting the Shutter Angle to 360 or whatever,

from Comp Settings. If animating text inside Premiere Pro, set Composition Shutter Angle to 360

or whatever, from Transform effect, but keyframing should be done in Premiere Pro, using Transform

properties for the motion blur to have effect.
