Problem with alpha chanel from AE (Windows) to AVID Mediacomposer
Hello everybody, I´m a Newbie from Germany
I have a problem with titles I´ve made for a short film which my daughter made
(she studies directing in Berlin but I live 600 km away from here)I created the titles in After Effects CS5 (WIN 7) with a Gloweffect and slight wave movements.
I rendered them with Quicktime, PNG, Quality 100, RGB+ alpha chanel integrated,
1920×1080 without background.
I`ve send this file to the editor in Berlin who works with AVID Mediacomposer.In his version the Glow seems to be black instead of the Glow colour I had.
See screenshot AE:
and screenshot AVID:
(The difference of the background is ok because I worked with another part of the film.)
I had problems with transparency of the Glow when I tested it by importing the file in Premiere CS5 but the glow colour wasn`t black.
This is realy strange.I hope someone can give me a helping hand how to export titles from AE (WIN7) to AVID the best way. I already tried a lot of things but everything was a dead end street.
Thank you for your support,
Andy

I’ve run into this before.
Two fixes that have worked for me in the past.
– Export as a series of png files with alpha channel rather than a quicktimeand/or
-set your compositions default background color to white instead of black.

Thank you very much for quick answer.
I will try all of the proposals and be back to report. Thanks so far. -
Hi,
sorry, it took a while.
So my problem is solved. I tried first to change background to white and rendered a PNG serie. Now I got the message from Berlin that everything looks good. No more black shadows.So thank you so much Christopher and everybody else who gave me good advises!
Have a smooth and creative day,
Andreas
