    I always have issues exporting an animation with a website screen shot into Avid. The edges look scratchy and seems to have an interlacing problem. It mainly happens when the webpsite screen shot is at a sharp angle. I am working with 720 x 480 dv. I have exported it 6 ways from sunday and I am at witts end. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

    What codec are you using to go to Avid? Also, are you rendering with field dominance, or progressive? Lastly, what are your field settings when you import to Avid?

    Adobe CS3, Apple FCS2

    I have tried the animation codec under quick time also Avid DV codec under quick time, I have also tried a windows avi. With all these I have tried several combinations of lower field first when exporting from AE as well as importing to Avid. I am wondering if there is a certain combination of settings that will work all the time or if it depends on the circumstances of the animation.
    Any suggestions are helpful trust me.
