  • Render problem in Adobe Media Encoder

    Posted by Knut Högvall on June 30, 2009 at 8:17 am

    Trying to find a solution to another problem, I am currently experimenting with rendering AE compositions with the Adobe Media Encoder instead of rendering directly in AE.

    My problem is this:

    The original AE composition has a white solid layer as background. I then intermittently lower the opacity of the above-lying layers to let the white shine through when I display text captions.

    Now, when I render in Adobe Media Encoder the lowered opacity of the top layers doesn’t reveal the white background, it reveals a BLACK background! I mean, like… HUH?!?!??

    Has anyone experienced this? Is there a solution? What am I doing wrong?

    Answering, and correcting, myself, it turned out the background wasn’t white after all. However, the AE composition setting was for a white background. It is this background setting in AE that is not picked up by Adobe Media Encoder. Adding a white solid layer solved the problem.

    This may or may not be a known issue. Should it not be, it and its solution are now documented.
