Exporting Lower Thirds from AE CC 12.2 to be used in Premiere

hi everyone,
I'm currently in the trial versions of adobe AE and Premiere for Mac.  I'm stuck...trying to troubleshoot whether AE or/and Premiere is not properly set up.
I have dug up so many youtube tutorials and forum posts on how to export lower thirds with alpha channel from AE...  and everyone has the same solution,
Here is my lower third on AE, as you can see it is transparent:
Export using the following settings as everyone has taught:
Import into Premiere, I layer it over my footage and it just doesn't show up...like it is not there.
Yet, the footage preview shows the lower third, but my preview doesn't...
Anyone know what is wrong? 
I downloaded a free web-based sample lower thirds quicktime (Created with: Adobe After Effects CS5.5 10.5 Windows 64)
to test if all lower thirds don't work...sample works perfect...  therefore, I conclude that it has to be that my mac AE is exporting in a format that Premiere can't show properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks

Just one: what are the dimensions of your Premiere Pro sequence?
You have rendered at 1280x720 from After Effects. If your Premiere Pro sequence is smaller, such as 720x480, the problem would be that your lower-thirds graphic is offscreen due to the difference in frame sizes. If this is the case, you can scale the lower-thirds clip in Premiere Pro to the smaller size.

  • Exporting Lower Third from FCP for Media 100 use

    I'm exporting out a lower third for someone else to use in Media 100. It is set to alpha+RGB. The exported QT file has a black background that I assumed would be keyed out once brought in to Media 100 and layered over an interview, but it's all black. Is it something I'm doing wrong in FCP or on the other end in Media 100?

    You need to use the Animation Codec with colors set to Millions+ (the "+" is your alpha channel) also, you should make sure your lower third is not rendered.

  • Lower Thirds from LiveType to imovie09

    I am making lower thirds from the LiveType templates and would like to use in previously made projects in imovie09. When I import the template as a mov file, I can't get it to work like the titles in imovie - it simply covers up the whole clip. If I import as a jpeg, iphoto does not recognize it at all. Can you please advise?

    When you build your LiveType effects, save the project file (it has a .ipr ending) and import it into FCE.
    Place it on a higher track than your live action video. It will composite automatically. The .ipr can be treated exactly as if it were a video clip -it can be cut, transitioned etc
    You can then got to the File > Export dialog and make a self contained movie that can be used in iMovie -this means you would export to either DV or Apple Intermediate for use with HDV or AVCHD material.

  • Quick way to create Lower thirds from Spreadsheet

    Maybe everyone knows this already since it came out when I was away from the forums, but I searched the Premiere Pro forums for the word "spreadsheet" and got no related results, so here goes....
    There is a way to type all of your information for lower thirds, or titles of any kind for that matter, including the kind of sub titles that are actually on the video itself, into a spreadsheet and using variables, create as many Photoshop PSD files to be imported into Premiere Pro as you wish.
    It is brilliant. Simply brilliant.
    Download the sample project and the PDF of the instructions. They ask for your name and e-mail address so that they can lock the PDF to one person (another good trick) to avoid people sharing. They want you to see the info about the book. But this chapter if free. And brilliant. Simply brilliant. But I guess I said that already.
    http://premierepro.net/editing/spreadsheets-to-lower-thirds/

    Well, I know what I would do if I needed to do such a thing.
    The programming language in Microsoft Excel is extremely powerful. It is a version of Visual Basic and can easily manipulate text files. So I would open a PRTL file, change the text and save it as the next title. Then I would repeat for every line in the spreadsheet.
    To make this easy, after formatting your first title, change the text to something simple, and export it to a PRTL file - and always use the same text and same title name to make writing the macro easier. Then just cycle through the rows of the spreadsheet. I haven't done this in ages, but I suppose I could give it a go if I had the proper motivation.
    But why? Why not use Photoshop?

  • Long or short lower thirds from Motion?

    I have a lower third design all set in Motion to introduce the songs in a music video. I'm not sure of the consequences of my decision here. Do I:
    1) Make one long Motion file with all 11 song intros spaced accordingly.
    2) Make 11 small (6 second) individual files.
    3) Import the individual and duplicate in FCP.
    Thanks,

    I vote for option #2, unless...
    1. You confident that all verbiage is final
    2. The order and timing of your clips (that are to be synced to these lower thirds) is locked
    3. You can afford the potentially longer render time

  • How can I add text to a Lower Third mov

    I have downloaded a few lower thirds from a website and they download as .mov files.
    I am trying to add text to them and lay them over some product spotlight videos for my work.
    I was thinking that they were going to be in template form but they are not.
    What is the best way to add text to these .mov lower third files?
    I just have to create my own animation for the text to follow along the lower third?

    > I just have to create my own animation for the text to follow along the lower third?
    Yes, that seems to be the case.

  • How to make lower thirds

    I am sure this has been covered, so I apologize.
    I learned video on Adobe Premiere, and the Pro versions had title templates with lower thirds already created. I also sometimes would draw a box on my title screen and color it accordingly to make my lower third.
    I like FCP 1000x times better, and since there are no lower third templates or title designer menus, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to make lower thirds in FCP. I prefer not to use Photoshop because I only have CS1 and it runs rather slowly in Rosetta on my machine.
    Thank you for the help.

    An easy way would be to make a new matte solid then crop it to create your shape. You then could adjust color, opactity, shadows, etc. You could also apply a mask to make other simple shapes or feather edges. Then lay your text on top.

  • When I export to AME (cc) my lower thirds keep shifting position.

    It looks fine on Premiere CC in my time line.  Its all in place even in the export window its aligned with my logo and text. But the as soon as I send it to AME and start rendering it shifts to the side and its no longer aligned with the text and logo.  Its driving me nuts! I've had to shift the lower third a few spaces for it to match on the render but its off on my timeline now.  its Please help!

    Can you provide some more details? Are you patched to 7.0.2? What version of Windows?
    I think this has been reported previously. What font(s) are involved? Does it continue to happen if the font is changed, or if the text is removed from the frame (give it some color so you can see the frame position)?
    It would be great if you could show us a screen capture from the ID file (show non-printing characters) and the same area from the PDF. You can use the camera icon to embed the screen caps in a post:

  • Why is AE Pro CC not exporting my lower thirds properly?

    Hello! I'm having a very strange issue today with AE Pro CC. Before I start in, let me explain a couple things:
    1. I have updated my Mac Pro to Mavericks; and
    2. I have downloaded and applied the patch that was released.
    I can open, edit, and export my files just like pre-Mavericks; however, when I go to import them into Premiere via Import, I get an import error:
    "The importer encountered a generic error."
    Oddly, when I look at the exported files in Finder (which, by the way, do not throw an error during the export process -- I have clean logs), I don't have a preview thumbnail like I did before. Now, it's a placeholder Quicktime logo. Hitting space bar to preview them only offers the information window, which show "Zero KB" as the file size... but in Finder, it clearly shows the correct file size.
    Opening the files in Quicktime gives me a "converting" message before opening (these are .MOV files that shouldn't need converting at all), and exporting them from QT won't allow for an Alpha channel, ruining the transparency of the lower third.
    Anybody have a clue what's happening here, or having the same issue? It seems there's some new problem with Mavericks, or QT, or After Effects rendering out in RGB+Alpha .MOV ~
    Thanks for the help.

    Sure -- it's actually all over the Quicktime forums right now. Lots of people having TONS of issues. Mine just happened to cross over into After Effects, because I use Alpha Channels in my .mov

  • Export and import from lower db version to upper version

    Hi
    I want to export the schema from database version 9.2.0.5.0 and import in to database version 9.2.0.8.0
    What parameters I have to consider ?

    Hi,
    No consideration required during exp/imp between same version such as 9i here.
    Their are different consideration in different versions as ..
    e.g.
    In order to export your 11g database and import it back to 9i, you will have to use the exp (export utility) and imp (import utility).
    Since you are going from a higher version back to a lower version, this is what you need to do
    1. Use the exp utility of the lower version (in your case, 9i) to export the 11g database
    2. Use the lower version imp utility (in your case, 9i) to import into the 9i database
    Imp/Exp utility version should always be similar to lower db version

  • HT6533 Where can I find the third party app? I'm really in trouble that I can't record and check my blood  glucose. Of cause I exported the data from app, but It's not readable for me. Please reply ASAP and give me other solution.

    You find third-party apps in the App Store. What app are you looking for? Due to problems, Apple removed the ability to record that information in Health. You can always go back to whatever you used before three weeks Health was released. Why can you not check and record your blood glucose? I would assume you check it using blood samples and a glucose meter which has nothing to do with your phone. You should be able to record it in any number of apps, from Notes to purpose made third-party apps.

  • Video layer under lower third dropping out during share from Final Cut X

    I am having a problem when I "Share" an H264 video file or when I upload directly to Youtube.  The Video that is under my lower thirds sometimes does not get output.  The video is there and plays fine when I hit the spacebar but when I "share" the project in some of the places where I have a lower 3rd the video is missing with on the the lower third being visible over black.  Any audio in the video is also missing.  Re-rendering often fixes the problem but it a real pain in an half hour show when I am crunched for time. 
    Is anyone else having a problem like this and what is the solution?

    This really seems to be a problem with some corrupt render files.
    Delete render files, turn off background render and do not rerender before export.
    Also, export to your hard drive first, then use the browser to upload. That way you have a chance to make sure it is all ok, rather than wait for the upload and conversion on youtube and then realize it came up wrong.

  • Is it possible to export a certificate from an iPhone?

    Hi all,
    We are distributing corporate iOS devices with an internally-issued certificate.  The user can't use the VPN client without a proper certificate.  One of our consultants has the infrastructure director all spun up with the idea that a user could export the certificate from the iPhone or iPad and transfer it to their personal device.  As far as I know, this is not possible.  Am I correct?
    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
    Thanks,

    If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print).  If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.
    I want to add something more.
    In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

  • Edges of video seen when using Lower Third

    Hello All,
    When I use the lower third, and have the crop wide open on the left and right, I see a sliver of video on the outside of the Lower Third bar. Is there a way to adjust this? Do I need to use a matte and text rather than Lower Third?
    Thank you.
    DG

    I thought I'd provide a little follow up. As I was trying to figure out why my STP export wasn't working right, I stumbled into a setting under sequence that led to this problem. My sequence setting was accidently set to NTSC DV 3:2. When I switched to NTSC 4:3, the screen tightened up ever so slightly, and the gap on the edges of the bar disappeared. Also, the resolution of the type and graphics within the Lower Third when from jagged to perfect!

  • High res aep files imported to prpro export low res

    I create an after effects file for a lower third. Look beautiful. Renders to avi great.
    I import that file into prpro cs6. I put in the timeline, export mpeg2-dvd - it looks horrible (very low resolution).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Mark

    OK. I have the files.
    I took a look at each one in MediaInfo.
    The first image is from the file you exported from After Effects. As you can see, it was created at 720p (HD). It has a HUGE data rate of 553Mb/s. It better look good with that much data behind it!.
    By the way, in order to make this a lower third you need to export to a codec that has an Alpha channel - meaning you export as a 32 bit file to get rid of the white background - assuming you don't have a white background in your comp. It is fine to create a comp with a white background but you need to hide it when you export to a 32 bit file. That way you can see through it to the video below. There are a few like Quicktime Animation which offers a 32 bit file for use with an alpha channel.
    The second one is the AVI you exported from Premiere Pro. It was exported from Premiere Pro at the standard definition (PAL) setting.   It is not standard DV AVI because DV AVI only uses a data rate of about 30Mb/s (including the audio) and this one is way over that. I assume that is a function of the Aja card in your computer.
    The third image is from the MPEG2-DVD export. As you can see, you changed from 25 frames per second to 29.97. And you changed from PAL to NTSC. Also, the data rate is a pathetic 3.8Mb/s
    So, you started with a pristine high definition image from After Effects. You exported to a form of AVI that allowed you to keep a high data rate. Then you changed horses in mid stream and exported to NTSC.
    I have heard of mixing apples and oranges, but you threw some tomatoes into that mix. Rotten ones.
    Be aware that NTSC (Never Twice the Same Color) is not a friendly format for crisp, sharp lines.
    Why don't you tell us where you live and if it is not in the USA, perhaps all you need to do is export to a PAL format instead of NTSC.
    Here it is exported to H.264 at 5Mb/s using 25 frames per second off of a PAL sequence set for widescreen. Looks fine. Just remember. It is only uploaded as a standard definition file, so don't expect to see it full screen and get 100% of the quality. Use the larger YouTube box, OK, but not full screen. And remember to view it at 480p and not a lower resolution.
    MediaInfo show this. See how low the data rate is? And yet it looks fine.
    I exported to MPEG2-DVD for you. Download it from http://www.stevengotz.com/files/lower-third-test.m2v (Right click on the link and Save As - do not play it from my site or you may be disappointed)
    MediaInfo shows this. Still a low bit rate, but the correct frame rate and frame size. That really made the difference.
    In conclusion, export to PAL if that is what you need. Otherwise, rework the comp to 29.97 and set the sequence to DV AVI (NTSC). Then export as NTSC. Also, if viewing this on your computer, make sure the window you are using never exceeds 720X576 or you are forcing the computer to invent pixels where there were none.
