Imported titles from After Effects have a weird aura in Premiere

[chadiwack]

When I import a title I created in After Effects into PREMIERE it has a weird dropshadow color added

I created a simple title in After Effects. I exported the title with an Alpha Channel from After Effects.

If I play it on my computer it looks fine. However after I import it into Premiere... it suddenly has this weird blue glow dropshadow pixely color around it. It wasn't doing this yesterday and now today it's suddenly appeared.

I'm running the latest Apple Mac Pro and with an AMD Radeon VII graphics card.

Any help as to why it's doing this would be appreciated. I'm also running Premiere 14.0.4

Please try rendering. Press return with the timeline selected.

Thank you for the quick response. I have rendered it out, numerous times. I have exported it again all have the same problem. I also deleted render files and re-rendered it and the problem still persists. It wasn't a problem yesterday. They looked fine. No weird blue glow. It looks pixelated. When I open the original file in After Effects and render it's fine. This only happens when I import it into Premiere, as of today.

now it seems to look more pixelated. I'm not sure if the graphics card is glitching out or the bpc or I have no idea lol. Now it's blue and a weird reddish purple on some letters. The top of the 6,800 for example.

Try turning off 'composite in linear colour' in the sequence settings. 

[chadiwack]

That didn't work but thanks for the response.

Might need to interprete the alpha channel of the clip in Pr.

[chadiwack]

How do I do that please. 🙂

[chadiwack]

I figured that out but it's still not solving the problem. Thank you for your advice.

[MyerPj]

Did you try importing the Comp directly. That way you don't have to use an Alpha channel.

[chadiwack]

Not sure how to do that. I did re-render another version out of After Effects and imported that into Premiere and it looks fine. I'd rather not recreate a bunch of new versions. Not sure why it suddenly did this. Really weird.

[MyerPj]

Just use File/Import or right-click on the project (header, to right of search box) and select Import, then select the project and it will show you a list of Comps, pick the one you want and done.

[chadiwack]

Thank you. I ended up just recreating my titles in After Effects and re exporting them. I think the issue came from either the Drop Shadow or the Stroke I used in After Effects and it going a little Haywire within Premiere. 

[chadiwack]

Good morning everyone, I booted up Premiere this morning to continue working on a commercial and my titles that I fixed re-exported on Friday have the same problem AGAIN... can someone please tell me why my titles are creating this weird pixelly aura. It's beginning to get really frustrating and is hampering my work.

[Ann Bens]

I am sure it has something to do with the alpha channel.

[chadiwack]

Very grateful for your quick reply Ann, I'm lol seriously at a loss. I need to export with an Apha Channel to use this on this Lexus spot. After I opened the original After Effects project on Friday and simply re-exported new versions of the same thing they looked fine and were normal after importing into Premiere. Seem inbetween closing out of Premiere and reopening this morning, they decided to do this weird thing again. As far as I know, they only way to import created titles from after effects with a transparency is to export using RGB + Alpha from After Effects. Unless I'm unaware of a different means.

[chadiwack]

Can ANYONE from Adobe or any Master of Premiere please give me some advice on what's potentially causing this problem. I'm running a 2020 Mac Pro, 192gb ram, a Radeon VII graphics card. Premiere 14.0.4.

I created these titles in After Effects, Standard text, drop shadow, gradient, small stroke and a bevel. Exported them WITH an Alpha and they were fine. Imported into Premiere and again they were fine. Saved and shut down Premiere, opened this morning to see this ugly, pixely blueish green artifacts around the letters.

I'm open to suggestions. If this is going to happen everytime I shut down Premiere and reopen I may have to switch to a different editing program for my needs. 

[Ann Bens]

There are settings in Ae for alpha channel have you tried those?

[chadiwack]

I'm reopening After Effects as we speak. Not exactly sure what settings you're referring to. 

My workflow is normally, within After Effects anyway.... is I create whatever title I need, animate it etc and then when adding to Render cue, I use the RGB + Alpha option. I actually think now maybe it has something to do with the 'Bevel Alpha' I'm adding to the titles. If that's conflicting with the Alpha export or Drop Shadow I'm also adding.

[Ann Bens]

Its under interprete footage.

[Averdahl]

Interpret, not interprete. 🙂

[chadiwack]

Thank you Ann. Appreciate all your help. 🙂

I see that you use an unusual resolution and the Animation codec. Just guessing here, but Animation is ancient and still good, but in your case i would try to render out using the CineForm codec as per the screen dump below.

[chadiwack]

why use the GoPro Cineform over the Animation?

[R Neil Haugen]

Cineform is a much newer codec, is very good at handling alpha channels, and Premiere works very well with it. As far as I understand this, those would be the reasons for using it. Quick to test, just do it, see if it works better.
