Anti-Ailising NIGHTMARE!!!
Hi all,
I’m going on 26 hrs. No sleep and a project past deadline. My problem is I’ve created a piece that is all text that scrolls continuously across the screen horizontally. Background is Red, Text was created through Illustrator. The ultimate goal is to get this piece to a DVD. I’ve spent hours trying every conceivable render option to make this smoth. I’ve even done a direct to compressor and still no luck. The settings I had some luck with were: Project Properties I set Anti-ailising to Best with dithering and exported using Animation codec 29.97 and Field Rendering on.
This created a messed up QT movie but I imported into an Avid system and It played all right. But I wasn’t able to export a QT reference movie to encode the DVD. Does anyone have any clue what I can do to make this work. I’m sorry If I’m missing some info I’ll be glad to repost whatever anyone needs to further help me out with this project.
Thanks

Try creating the text in Pshop- better antialiasing.

Actually,
After the rest of my crew came in this morning we think it’s more of a field rendering issue. The manual says you must have field rendering on to play on a TV. That’s what I’ve been doing but It won’t encode to DVD without having field problems

I use Compressor and the DVD presets for DVD output. Works like a champ.
I had an issue with a font and horizontal animation and it turned out my font was too thin. I made it a bit fatter and it smoothed it out nicely.

Thicker font may help, or you could try adding a half-pixel blur to the type, as long as this doesn’t degrade it too much. The blur will help it cross scanlines more cleanly.
