That’s odd. What OS? What exact version of Premiere Pro? What font?

Hi Todd, thx for reply. It’s Premiere Pro from CS5 Windows and the font is Adobe Arabic and it also appears and is working fine in ms-word … thought that premiere probably uses a font that is not fully recognized by the os, but this possibility is not given due to the fact that word properly uses the same font as well.
Actually also the fading in the rendered movie appears more as popping in rather than smooth fading … I thought that’s maybe the bitrate setting is to low … but it is actually set to high
here i uploaded a little chunk of the rendered video 3190_item1000sophie02.f4v.zip
… no idea why it brings those results.

the pwd for the file is : test

> It’s Premiere Pro from CS5 Windows
5.0.0? 5.0.3?
If you haven’t installed the most recent updates, try that and then report back.

Hi Frank,
Thought I’d weigh in on this issue since I was having a very similar problem with some work created by a colleague of mine very recently. Our problem occurred in After Effects for Mac, so these solutions may not work for you, but it’s worth a shot.
We were working on a simple text animation with a pretty standard font (Futura, in this case) on a plain background, and every time we rendered the text would come out slightly larger than expected, with overly jaggy edges, just like yours. Like After Effects was not properly reproducing the alpha of the text layer.
Our quick-and-cheesy solution was to simply put a slight Fast Blur on the layer (0.7 pixels, I think). My colleague’s problem was not quite as extreme as yours, so this may or may not work for you.
I was tinkering with the project later, and discovered that converting the text to a shape layer in After Effects also seemed to work. You may want to try this.
Or, since the text comes out properly from other applications, you could try creating a raster image of the title card in Photoshop or another image editing application, and import that into your project.
Finally, it is worth noting that a couple weeks have gone by since this incident, and I have restarted my machine several times. I went to reopen the original AE project before writing this post, and everything works just fine now. So maybe a simple reboot is all you need!
Hope this helps.

it’s 5.0.0 … probably pretty old now. How do I update ? I didn’t find any “check for updates” or such ?

Hi Mike, exactly, it is an aliasing problem. I came across something funny though, when I’m fading into another picture, then the portion of the scene where there is the overlapping with another picture, is anti-aliased correctly ! You need to click on the picture to see it full size to see the aliasing problem.
as it seems the horizontal effects anti-aliasing, in terms of video tracks, is working while the vertical effect is not.
and then the brightness of that fading in picture at this time-code is way brighter as it needs to be and is shown in the preview :
I tried out rebooting but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.
Which version do you have and 32bit or 64bit Win or Mac ?

The first thing I would try is instead of using a dissolve, move your title up to Video 3, and keyframe the opacity to zero on the title, and from zero on the still. Something may not jive in the cross dissolve between the two different format clips with alpha channels that don’t match, and this eliminates that variable.
It’s also worth a shot to try generating your titles in Photoshop (or GIMP, Paint.NET, etc., if you’re using standalone Premiere Pro without the rest of the Suite). Then save to a full raster format that supports transparency, like PNG. You can then bring that back into Premiere as footage. It’s more of a pain to make changes to the text, and you lose quality if you apply transformations, but if something’s going wrong with your title tool, at least you’ve bypassed that problem.
For what it’s worth, I’m using CS5 (64-bit) for Mac. But I’ve only ever run across the aliasing problem in After Effects, not Premiere Pro.

ok I tried to use an opacity animation and the funny thing is that now it even does not anti-aliase correctly on top of the image fading in. ya probably rendering the text first is the right solution as long as premiere ha this bug.
I have tried out after effects now and there fortunately it works fine … guess I have to use it
