My picture layer background color was set to white, so in AE it appeared to be light. But in AME it used a black background color instead, so it appeared to be dark. I fixed this by adding a white solid layer under all other layers.
It's so confusing for a newbie like me.
In my AE it appears like this
but in AME it renders this
if I choose Render Alpha Channel Only, it appears like this
I'm wondering how to make the rendered one look like the one in AE
Media Encoder is notoriously unreliable for correctly rendering anything out of Premiere or After Effects. I would only use it for very simple comps and sequences. Anything else seems to confuse it.
If you need to automate a lot of renders, you could try rendering them from the command line instead?
