1. Re: Mask works in AE but not Premiere Pro
Mylenium Apr 18, 2010 11:15 PM (in response to R-Cole)Please be more specific. Sounds like you are not correctly handling Alpha channels/ transparencies or use blending modes that require the footage to be properly part of the AE comp, not just the Premiere sequence.

2. Re: Mask works in AE but not Premiere Pro
R-Cole Apr 19, 2010 7:40 AM (in response to Mylenium)Thanks for the reply, allow me to elaborate on the composition.
I have a jpeg of a graph on my time line. Using the rectangle mask tool I have highlighted a section of the graph using the add selection so that the rectangle is the only thing showing. I did this a total of 4 times on the same image using the opacity levels to reveal them when needed. Under the 1st JPEG I placed the same image with no masks and lowered the opacity so the rest of the graph doesn't vanish entirely, just enough to accent the section I want.
When I play it in AE it does exactly what I need it to. The graph fades in and out except for the masks. But when I import the comp into Premiere it doesn’t show the top layer JPEG so I just see the semi transparent graph that is the bottom layer in the AE comp. I did this once before with video layers and it worked, I just don't know what I missed this time. Do the mask layers need to be on a solid layer and not the JPEG image?

Mylenium Apr 20, 2010 2:02 AM (in response to R-Cole)Mmh, from your description this should work. Anything like layer styles or specific effects involved that may affect transparencies/ Alpha and are not available via Premiere? Do you do any extra processing on the linked comp in Premiere, i.e. apply a Premiere effect or change the transparency options?
