About Philip Hodgetts article on DVcodec and fonts
[CS4]
I’m not sure where I should post this… I’ve gotten involved with by way of premier so came here.One of the many fine articles Creative Cow collects for us Is one by Philip Hodgetts:
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/hodgetts_philip/titles.phpI never paid much attention to the little intro sort of message (quoted below) but realized that it is pretty confusing.
> Article Focus:
> In this article, Philip Hodgetts gives us a few hints on how to make great titles with the DV Codec. In most cases, if you’re using the DV Codec, you’ll find that your titles at best will be good. If you want great quality, then you will need to follow most of these guideliness that Philip discusses but NOT compress to the DV Codec.I’m not sure what to make of it… The whole message is about making good titles when under the DV codec… but the intro messages tells NOT to use it.
Does that seem a little off the wall to anyone else?

The article is a bit older (2003), I can only assume he’s suggesting you avoid re-transcoding… or something. I’m as stumped as you are.

I would ignore the first line as we are in the HD era.
The article gives great info on how to make good titles, most of his suggestions still apply.
Your problem is probably a interlaced artifact caused by the font you used.
It has very thin horizontal lines which might be just as wide as a scan line.
