Boris 3D tearing
I am playing around with Boris 3D and I noticed that some of the title is tearing especially the “x”. There is no scaling in the “motion” tab. ProRes codec in NTSC timeline, anamorphic 720×480, upper field first, bottom field first and none exhibit same symptom, video processing>motionf filtering quality=best, render control>always use best quality=checked”.
Any ideas?

Hi Elijah,
What are the codec/compressor settings in the sequence?
Have you moved the text on the y-axis (up and down in the motion tab? If so, your setting has to be a whole even number.
Have you tried another font?
Also, Xs are tough, because they have hard edges that cut across scan lines on a 45-degree angle, which is the worst for stair-stepping. If all else fails, you can try adding a directional blur at 0-degrees and amount 2.

Hey David!
I am using ProRes, the Y-Axis is 0 and I tried 2 fonts but not much more. It is very odd though. It looks fine in the Boris dialogue box but then when I superimpose it into the timeline it gets larger than it was in the preview window. I suspect there is some sort of scaling going on. I reset the properties for the title too.
Also, in my screenshot, the “extreme” is the only one I notice jaggies on. The lower “overshoot” does not appear jagged (to my eyes).
I will try to play with some other fonts and the blur you mentioned.
Thanks for your feedback

Overshoot clearly looks excellent and extreme looks like suck — that issue is better known as aliasing. Something isn’t right there, so do try another font.

When I change extreme to the same font as overshoot and the same size the tearing is still there. It appears that the yellow hides it because when it is blue it is visible.
Here is a screenshot of the preview window and the canvas. Somehow it is scaling it and I have no clue how.
I have been playing with other fonts too and no matter what it has bad tearing. Very interesting!
