  creating lower thirds in After effects and placing in adobe premiere

  Posted by Clifford Nyathi on June 14, 2011 at 6:02 pm

  Hi

  I have created a lower third in adobe after effects CS5 and I am using it in adobe premiere CS5.

  So I was using the dynamic link to import the lower third but this creates a problem with encoding in AME. It says 45hours to render 30 minutes, but without the dynamic link it takes 40 minutes or so.

  So I tried to render the lower third in AE and place it as a video in Premiere but this creates a problem that the lower third is there at the bottom but it is not transparent and obscures the main video.

  Am I rendering it wrong or how should I use the dynamic link to get the best results.

  help quick.

  You need to export from AE with a alfa channel to get it transparant.

  Found it under “Output Module Settings” when clicking on “Channels” drop down… ‘user error’
