  Motion produces soft images

  Posted by Philip Johns on August 13, 2007 at 7:51 am

  Hey,

  Ok, I’m creating a small 185×155 video that will play on a website where interlace flicker isn’t an issue, however I can’t seem to figure out why when I put a mask which I created in Photoshop it doesn’t display it properly. The mask is also 185×155 which comprises of lines from left to right. The lines are one pixel thick meaning that on the y axis it’s one pixel on, the next pixel line down off, the next pixel line on etc. When I import this graphic into Motion it appears a semi-transparent gray and doesn’t retain the detail. It seems to have blended the lines together to avoid flicker? However as mentioned this isn’t important as it’s for a website. Any idea how to work around this? Is there a setting I’m missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

  Phil

  Phil,
  All I can suggest at this point is that you try different settings for anti-aliasing quality in the Motion preferences. Also, is your project setting set to field dominance of none or progressive? These are areas I’d look to eliminate the anti-aliasing of the one-pixel line.
