  How do I export title animation from AE to work like a TITLE in Premiere

  Posted by Devon Brown on July 26, 2008 at 4:09 pm

  Hello All,

  I am trying to figure out the best way to export an animated title to work in Premiere. I have AE 7 pro and Premiere Pro 1.0 (I know its outdated. been a while and spent money on AE rather than Premiere upgrade).

  I know if I export it as an AVI all the black background will be part of the comp. My problem is is simply that i want the rays of light and the write on effect to act as a title would – independent vectors.

  what do i export my comp as to get that?

  Thanks as always!!

  hi there,

  Render with alpha. You want to put your animation layer on top of your footage in Premiere (like lower-thirds etc) or for titles.

  When your animation is done creating(in AE) add your comp tot the render queue in AE and use QuickTime as the output format. Select a codec like Animation or PNG and change the depth to RGB + Alpha.
  now you have your footage/animation with transparent background ready to drop in other applications!
  In photoshop you also need to export your layers/creation in png if you want to hold the transparency

  I use Premiere Pro 2.0 and am able to bring in .psd files with no background. I’ve never tried with .png before.
