<p>I am Naved and I am using <strong>Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019</strong> for creating a <em>YouTube</em> video. This video is providing a list of <em>recommended copyright free music</em> that is available on YouTube for <em>free use</em>.
I wanted to show an <em><strong>audio visualizer</strong></em> (or say <em>audio spectrum</em>) in my video. This video is very long, consisting of around 100 different music tracks and its duration is of <em>nearly 4 Hours</em>. 
As it is clear that Audio Spectrum plugin works only with <strong>Adobe After Effects CC 2019</strong> and I cannot create a composition of more than 3 Hours in After Effects, again I cannot make a complex while lengthy project at the same time, in After Effects; So, I considered only importing the audio file and a <em>DVD(Disk) Icon</em> in After Effects. I applied the Audio Spectrum and Audio Reactive (on scaling) effects on and around the Disk Icon with <em>Transparent Background</em>.</p>
<p>As the audio file was of more than 4 hours, I had to perform this process in two parts, 1st one for about 3 hours and the 2nd one for the remaining 1 hour.</p>
<p>For rendering the video files, I chose <em><strong>Quicktime Codec, Animation Format with 8 Bit + Alpha Channel</strong></em> Settings. I took the final export to Premiere Pro, where I already had a Background Image, a Black video (for background dullness), and a Legacy Title. When I imported the rendered video in my premiere pro sequence, I put it above all of the layers.
But, when I played out the video, I found that the <strong>audio spectrum was going <em>BEHIND</em> the Legacy Title</strong> and the Disk Icon was showing in front of the Legacy Title. This was a very strange kind of behavior that I have never encountered before because they both (disk icon and audio spectrum) are a part of a single video i.e. single layer only and either they both should be in front of the other layers or be backward than them. Another interesting thing is that the audio spectrum is showing in front of the background image but not in front of the legacy title. So, I thought I can export my background frame including the text and then, put it behind the audio spectrum video. Surprisingly, even after rendering the still image as Background and keeping it behind the Audio Spectrum Layer, the result was again the same. <em><strong>The Disk Icon was in front of the Text and the Audio Spectrum was behind the text but background image.</strong></em></p>
<p>Now I have run out of ideas, why this strange kind of behavior is being encountered in Premiere Pro. It could be my fault too but I am unable to understand where is the error standing?</p>

I suggest you condense your question. You're giving an overwhelming amount of details not pertaining to the question. I'm happy to help once you do that.

The video/layer that consists the audio spectra and the disk is single having transparent background. So, if I am putting this layer above all the layers then both Audio Spectra and the disk must be in front all the other layers. But that video/layer is acting weirdly. Only disk icon is shown in front of every layer whilst the audio spectra is shown in front of only background image and behind the text ("Copyright Free Music"). I want audio spectra to be behind the text. I hope I was able to point the exact problem.

# Why is Aplha channel video layer not working correctly in premiere pro?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-20)

I am Naved and I am using **Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019** for creating a *YouTube* video. This video is providing a list of *recommended copyright free music* that is available on YouTube for *free use*.
I wanted to show an ***audio visualizer*** (or say *audio spectrum*) in my video. This video is very long, consisting of around 100 different music tracks and its duration is of *nearly 4 Hours*.

When I imported the rendered video in my premiere pro sequence, I put it above all of the layers.
But, when I played out the video, I found that the **audio spectrum was going *BEHIND* the Legacy Title** and the Disk Icon was showing in front of the Legacy Title.
