Probably less so for After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder.

We were able to shift gears and work around it in time, but others might not be so lucky. We had some time constraints and almost didn't QC the exports that carefully, being that the sequences were so simple, but luckily we caught that many of the fades were not present before they were put in use. Few editors would expect a problem like this to occur as every other codec export would handle this sort of thing without the end user even thinking about it. This is really basic editing stuff that will affect almost everyone. Until this is fixed, you should really warn people not to export directly from Premiere Pro sequences. Much simpler to just export in a mezzanine codec like Apple Pro Res, then batch convert everything to HAP for the playback system. It will get in the way of editing efficiency to have to jump through those hoops all day. As far as the Creative Cow post goes, duplicating clips and turning off layers isn't really a good solution. There really isn't any way to do what you are suggesting in Premiere. – For encoding matte part or wholly grey, use “HAP Alpha Only” if the playout software support it.Thanks for taking the time to look into this. Load the plugin into Adobe After Effects, Media Encoder or Premiere Pro and it allows you to encode your content. – For Motion design and real picture, the HAPQ codec gives the best quality and very fast encoding. The plugin can be used for content creation. – For real picture content, if you use HAP/A codec, Normal quality is a good choice. The impact of an empty area on file size is small, but it will increase the resources needed to play your footage. – Try to crop your render to match your content (and avoid big empty areas). – If you use HAP/A codec, use Slow quality preset if you have small gradient, otherwise Normal quality. After Effects, Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder native exporters bringing you ProRes / H264 / H265 / HAP codecs for excellent quality and lightweight. – Use banding reduction in your after effect composition. – Avoid the use of non multiples of 4 pixel resolution (some media server / Gpu don’t work well with non multiples of 4 resolution).

During the trial period I could open AE and adjust the render output templates. Since the render pc uses a crippled demo version of AE (that is how you create one), it becomes problematic to update the render templates. – If you need alpha encoding use HAPA or HAPQA A piece of code calls the command line renderer and thus creates graphics.
