If you’re in an interlaced timeline, it’s going to interlace.

Are you doing the move using he Motion tab when using the Boris plug?

If not, use the filter itself and keep the motion tab center value set to 0,0.

Then use the cross hairs in the Boris plug to move the text. It will stay vector based and should render a bit cleaner.

If that doesn’t work, try putting your scroll in a progressive timeline, render, export as self-contained and bring it back in to the interlace frame.

Do your scroll in AE for best results (maybe Motion, but your mileage may vary).

Calm down, the time stamp on your post is almost 10 pm, you post again wondering why nobody has responded only 1 hour later.

Most of the traffic on here comes during the day during normal working hours.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.

Hey Zane,

If you work in post production as a PROFESSION, you might just be working at 10pm….so maybe you should settle down…..I have been using cow since its inception and have gotten answers at all kinds of crazy times in the evening….you never know….most of us work late hours….maybe not you….hmmm I wonder….anyways…..I actually did get some great suggestions before you decided to come on here with nothing but showing us how smart you are…..

Thks for all the suggestions, I am using the Boris scroll generator….so its at 0,0 and Im not animating the move, the generator is…let me clarify, the interlacing I fixed, its just stuttering now in my computer or when it plays as a QT file, but on the NTSC it looks smooth and nice….it might just be to quick a scroll? I dunno…Ill keep playing…..thks for the response…

Paul, I NEVER said that people don’t come here at night I just said that most traffic is during the day.

Maybe its me but i just think it is tacky to ask a question online and then one hour later post again in a manner that seems like complaining because nobody has come to your beckoning call yet.

[Paul Harb] ” know this has been over time and time again…..and I usually can get it right, but for some reason I cannot get my text scroll using boris or FCP to not be combed and interlaced looking……any ideas>
“

Assuming you’re using the Boris Title Crawl, make sure the DeFlicker is activated on the plug-in. Never use FCP’s Motion tabs to create the motion.

[Paul Harb] “on the NTSC it looks smooth and nice..”
If it looks well in an interlaced monitor then is OK.
You don’t have to worry how it looks in your Mac.
if you want to make it look well in a computer, make a progressive version.
In QT you can try setting “Dinterlaced ‘ in the Clip Properties (Comm-J)> Video Track> Visual setting.

[Paul Harb] “the interlacing I fixed, its just stuttering now in my computer or when it plays as a QT file”

How’d you fix it?

When you say QT file, is it an encoded QT file for the web or is it the full rez QT file out of FCP?

[Paul Harb]

Thats funny, I was thinking how tacky it is and how you must have nothing to do, to come on a board at 10pm to respond to a post no help at all, but only to give you opinion on tact……stop while your behind….opinions are like, well you know the rest…..go get a job….
