I have a graphic that was created in After Effects with alpha premultiplied and exported as a ProRes 4444. I import the graphic in FCP X and I add a black generator and as a connected clip I add the After Effects with alpha premultiplied graphic and it's not doing a good job, as you can see in the still that I include (FCP X.jpg) the colors are different, the quality it is like low resolution and it have a hallo. If I change the alpha handling to None/Ignore Alpha it is like it's suppose to be and with good quality so I suppose that the problem is with the Alpha.

I also did the same test in FCP 7 a black generator track 1 and in track 2 I add the After Effects graphic with alpha premultiplied graphic and I don't have the problem with the Alpha. I also include a still (FCP 7.jpg).

So any help would be appreciated way in FCP 7 is OK and in FCP X don't work.

Thanks,

I've no solution for you (sorry) but i've also little differences with alpha with a render in after effects (4444, premultiplied) between fcpX & Fcp7. Not big deal, but in fcpX, the alpha is more transparent than in fcp7. And globally, the render are a tiny bit blurry than in fcp7. I've tried a lot of different rendering settings in after effects, but nothing works actually. So if someone has an idea, I'll be happy too ! I've move on FcpX for everything but this one tv show, impossible.
