Credit Text Ghosting/Flare
I have some white credits in a photoshop document placed over a black background that scroll from bottom to top. When the credits first enter frame on (multiple) NTSC monitors, there is a white glare that shows up just over where the text is. By the time the credits reach the middle of the frame the glare is gone. This does not show up on a CRT or LCD monitor. Lossless footage is being imported into an avid as 601 square, RGB colorspace. Any ideas to the cause or fix? A friend suggested the monitor focus was off?
Thanks for any suggestions,

your whites are probably too hot. ntsc white and black is not tru white and black, more like very very lite gray and very very dark grey 🙂
what i would do is put an adjustment layer over the whole comp and apply levels and take the white levels down to about 75%-80%. also bring the black level up.
also make sure the monitor is set up correctly by running color bars. (plenty of info on the web on how to probably set up a monitor if you are unsure of the process)

Or you could tell your client that, “It’s the ‘look’ of the project.”
