Weird aliasing on stuff like text when exporting AE dynamic-linked media
So, I’m going through my normal workflow I’ve been doing for many a year… but for a couple of months I’ve been sometimes noticing weird results when linking AE media to PPro and exporting it. Suff like this:
It’s not limited to text, but on text you can very clearly see the issue. Notice the aliasing on the font.
I’ve never before seen this occur, to be honest. And I can’t reproduce what makes it happen. All I can say is that, in the case of text it happens when the dynamic-linked media has video and whatever else I’ve worked with in AE and the text layer together. If I separate the text into its own comp and I import that comp and stack it over the rest of the image in PPro, then there’s no problem with the text. As you can see here:
Now, that’s a workaround that’s saving my behind in my current projects but it’s only a workaround and makes the job that bit less practical and more time-consuming. So when I think that I’ve never before had this issue, even using the same PPro (CC 12) and same AE (CC 15), I’m stumped as to why it may be happening now.
(I’m not sure if this ought to be in the PPro forum or in the AE forum, as basically the issue pertains to both working together through Dynamic Link… But as the issue only occurs on the PPro side, I imagine that’s where it’s best submitted.)

So nobody has ever had this happen? Can I be the only one?
After months of trying to fix it, I still can’t. Always have to work around the issue. I’m starting to feel like even though the dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere Pro used to prove very practical and saved me a lot of time, increasingly I’m finding that I have to waste time on stuff like this. So perhaps I should just export from AE and use FCPro… Unfortunately, PPro is always a very buggy piece of software.
