It’s the button next to the trash at the bottom right of the project window.
You keep mentioning the AE project but you are not using dynamic link? Are you placing a file rendered out of AE into the PrPro sequence or are you using a Dynamic link.
Your AE comp should be set to the same settings as your PrPro sequence. If not using Dynamic link, move your comp into the render queue to export it to the location and using the codec of your choice. Then import the file into PrPro.
If using Dynamic link, right click on the clip or clips and choose replace with after effects composition or choose import after effects composition or New AE Comp that you can then send to PrPro.
You can also go from AE to PrPro but I find it easier to start in PrPro and then go to AE with Dynamic link.
Also the video is not “rendered per say” it is only generating previews and multiple layers with an alpha channel will not play back smoothly with only 8GB of Ram and using so many file formats in the same timeline.

I am not seeing the same behavior, once the preview is rendered it sticks even after closing and re-opening PrPro.
Try this, in your Project panel take your “Logo Close” file and drag it onto the new sequence icon creating a new sequence with the exact same setting as the clip. What color is the bar above the clip. There could be a discrepancy between the clip and the sequence settings in your original timeline.
You have not yet shared your workflow or the clip properties, codec ect. of the suspect file and you are mentioning an after effects project in a PrPro timeline and using AME to export something that has to do with previews, so I am still a little confused on your workflow, because what you are experiencing is not the normal behavior of the application

Are you seeing this shift viewing the internal or using external scopes using an I/O card or are you seeing a shift on the encoded files from each NLE or is the perceived brightness or luminance shift only on your computer monitor in the program window?

You can still render Uncompressed from AE render queue. The compression codec “None” is a legacy codec and does not mean that you are rendering an “Uncompressed” video file. It renders an uncompressed RGB file that is very heavy in data size when not necessary .
Choose Uncompressed YUV if you want a true uncompressed 4:2:2 file or animation for an uncompressed 4:4:4 file.
To the best of my knowledge neither Render queue or AME will output an AVI on the mac.

So in the title editor you can see your background video? If so and it is appearing in the timeline with a black background you will need to troubleshoot a little further because there could be a clip setting that is not allowing for the alpha channel in the title editor as this is certainly not a normal result.
Create a new sequence and place a solid color (other than black or white) clip in the timeline and then create a title and place it in the timeline over the solid clip. Do you see the same result?

You are rendering out to AME to create a separate file not render a preview. AME is not used in conjunction with rending previews for viewing in the timeline. What codec are you rendering the “Logo Close” out of AE in?
Do this: drag your work area bar to match the “Logo Close” clip and then choose sequence from the menu and then choose “render work area”. the file then should hold it’s preview.
Hope that helps.

I know you said the background was not enabled, but do you have a black fill applied to the title? When you are making a title click the button in the top right hand corner (above the timecode indicator) to show your background video. You should then be able to see your underlying video with the title overlay in the title creation window.

Just for clarification, when you render in the PrPro timeline it is only creating rendered previews and not actually rendered files and unless you have a specific reason for doing this it is really not necessary in the PrPro ecosystem as the MPE takes care of lower res previews so you can continue to work and the render to the final output instead of wasting time waiting for the timeline to render.

Which version of FCP are you running and what are your system specs. YOu can, or at least used to, download the codecs from Avids site that will allow you to use the DNXHD files in FCP. It’s been awhile but they used to play fine in FCP7

I am still confused, lets see if I understand correctly?
PrPro sequence with a Dynamic Linked clip with after effects comp in the timeline with a red bar indicating needs render. you the move your work area over the bar and render in work area. The bar turns green and then you save and reopen the project and the bar is yellow.
Is that correct or not? and, I am not sure where AME comes into play here regarding rendering, You will only use AME for output to encode a file.
