Corrupted Rendered Essential Graphics

[JCVidiot]

I used the pre-made “Film Lower Third Left Two Line” template on a spot I did last week and it was corrupted when I compressed (using Media Encoder) it for distribution.  It corrupted both the mp4 (YouTube setting) and the mpg (Nexus setting) files.  It was consistent in its corruption whether I compressed the files together or separately.  I compressed multiple times with the same result.  Below are screen grabs of the issue. Any solution?

Uncorrupted - screen grab from within Premier

Corrupted - as compressed

Go into Media Encoders Preferences dialog, and uncheck "import sequences natively".

Should fix your ills.

Neil,

You rock!  This worked, save for one hitch.  After I unchecked the "import sequences natively" box I then had to restart Media Encoder.  There was no change until I did that.

Thanks bunches.

Neil's answer should be correct, but it's hard to know 100% without actually seeing your steps. But it's probably the same as a problem which was fixed for AME 12.0.1. If so, upgrading to that version (if possible) should also fix it. A third option would be to use direct Export from PrPro since it was only AME that was disregarding the pinned layer on Export.
