October 7, 2006 at 8:53 amAre you using a domestic television to monitor? This could be caused by your colours not being ‘broadcast safe’. After Effects natively produces colours on a 0-255 range (in 8-bit) but domestic televisions can only handle 16-235, hence pure white can give a ‘bending’ effect sometimes as it’s too strong for the tube to handle. Reds also especially can be problematic. Red on Black can make TVs go mental!
You don’t usually see this distortion on a broadcast quality monitor because they are more robust, but when making graphics to be broadcast on TV you need to make sure your colours are ‘legal’ (i.e: your black must be no lower than 16, your white or pure colours not more than 235. The best way to clip your colours in AFX is to apply an adjustment layer of Levels and clamp your colours to 16-235.
I think there’s a tutorial somewhere about it and explaining it better. Search for ‘Broadcast Colours’.

October 9, 2006 at 4:52 amWhite and red are the colors that bleed the most.
My secret is to use whites that are more towards the 200 range and not 255 and desaturated your reds. You can also push your red a slight bit into towards the purple side to make it look more rich and not as orangey. those are just personal preferences. -
