I’m having a weird alpha-related problem in FCP X. I created some L3rds and titles in AE, and exported as normal in ProRes 4444 with an alpha to bring into my timeline in FCPX. This is my first project in X after years in FCP legacy, so I’m a little confused as to what happened next. All of the color of my titles is gone. FCPX recognizes the alpha, and the clips overlay on the video fine, but instead of the golden/bronze color that I had added to the text in AE, which is present in the render, and is even present in the Event Browser thumbnail, in the timeline, and in the Event Viewer, the text is just white. The shading data and lighting data is all present, but the color is stripped. What’s up with that? Do I really have to go in and color correct every title to re-conform?

For what it’s worth, FCPX is interpreting straight alpha on the video, so I can’t figure out what is going on…

Any thoughts?
