After Effects Roll in Avid Symphony
I’m finishing my hour-long program on a Avid symphony and I’m getting some weird anomalies in the credit roll that was prepared in After Effects. I initially prepared the credits in Photoshop 7, rasterized them and imported them into After Effects 6.5. I then rendered them as DV widescreen 720×480 (my program is anamorphic). I attached the flicker filter to the file, rendered in the Animation codec and, since the credit roll is supered over footage, applied an alpha channel, millions+.
Upon import and render in the Avid Symphony I get this weird “wave” in a portion of the screen, that’s the best way I can describe it being a layman. However, when I did the same thing in my offline Final Cut 5.1.1 program, using the same settings the credit roll is perfectly smooth.
Not being an Avid user outside of this situation, can someone give me a workflow that will allow me to get a smooth credit roll using After Effects andmporting into Avid symphony? I know I can use the Avid titler to do this, but shouldn’t I have the ability to use AE to create a credit roll offline and then bring it into the online?
Thanks ahead of time

You’ll prolly have better results just doing the roll in Symphony.
If AE is the way to go, your prolly best off just creating the text there.
Don’t create it or import it as 720X480 cuz it’ll stretch it to 720X486 upon import and that’ll alias your text more.
