PNG gradient animation

[matthewo00]

Hi all,

First off my apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.  I tried the Premier Pro support thread but was told I was attempting to access unauthenticated material. Frustrating considering the monthly cost of these programs.

Anyway, I'm trying to animate an alarm for our game project.  A red shroud with 5 frames of animation that flashes around the edge of the screen.  I used Photoshops gradient tool to make the first frame and then made 4 layer duplicates.  I then used layer opacity to make those 4 gradually more transparent.  I save each layer as a numbered pngs, then import them to Premiere Pro.  Unfortunately once I arrive in Premiere, It is still transparent, but the center screen has lost a lot of its transparency in favor of a yellow shadow.   I re-open in Photoshop to see whats happening, no problem there.  So saving as PNG is causing the issue I guess?  But I was under the impression PNG is a opacity king 😕  Sorry for being so noob.
I'v been trying to get it right all morning with no luck.  Any thoughts? I can't move on until this is done :s

Thanks in advance anyone with reply

i'd try saving as a Photoshop file and try again with the Photoshop file.

PNG's carry an alpha channel, so this is not unexpected.
