Problems importing AE Alpha Tiff Sequence into AVID
I am creating a 30 sec crawl in AE for AVID Adrenaline Media Composer HD, and the text when viewed on an NTSC monitor becomes anti-aliased almost with soft jagged edges. This result occurs when i render with frames, and when i use fields the text becomes almost unreadable. I have rendered the following formats, Tiff, Targa, and Quicktime, all providing the same undesirable result. I am importing into AVID at 1:1. If anyone has an answer to this problem that would be amazing.

not sure if this is the fix, but try rendering a straight RGB and another sequence with just the alpha. Some edit suites don’t take kindly to a premultiplied alpha.

If you’re re rendering to frames, this can be an issue. Do you have an uncompressedm interaced 32-bit codec you can render to which Avid can import?
Also, I guess you’re sure there’s no resizing going on in the import process – the frames leave you “clean”..? And when you preview the sequence on your composite video out, they look good – it’s not a video versus computer monitor comparison problem …?
I know at one time some studios used to ask for frame-rendered sequences to be delivered at double-frame rate – render at 50fps for me, on PAL – haven’t been asked for that in a while though.
Good luck. Messy titles feel horrible
