After Effects Opacity Issues?

Hello,

I am currently working on a project that requires a shape to fly onto the screen over some text. However, after I animated it, it is rather opaque and I don't know why... The original picture is NOT opaque, nor is the opacity set to anything less than 100% in After Effects. Yes, the picture is above the text in the timeline.

      <---------------         Notice the shape over the text in the output frame.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jack Reynolds
