for Matt re: the strobing/double image graphic problem

[Kent Beeson]

The IWICS “ring/balls” is a psd, IWICS itself is Livetype font…imported the ring/balls into LT via “place”, squeezed down to size. The ipr file is 720×480, lower field dominance, drop frame…imported into FCP 4.5 by dragging into viewer, then editing it in as normal…the “registration” problem seems to be embedded in the MPEG 2 file, playing or paused. I encoded through QT conversion, 2 pass, best, 7.4-8.4 (High bit rate just as a test).

I don’t see how the “registration” can be as a result on anything past the PSD.

If it WAS… ALL of the similar colors would float out of reg. in the image (not just that one item).

From here, my suggestion is to go back to Photoshop and make sure your image is in reg. and then export a single layer document (say, a PICT) and use that in your LiveType.

The other “flicker” issue seems to be a standard motion artifact.

If you don’t like the results, you might make the logo move in and out in a different WAY.

Such as a ZOOM in/out, or a FLASH-FRAME, or a ROTATION with ZOOM (OK, that’s a little too BATMAN-like) or even a dissolve.

Keep us posted.

Will give suggestions a try – thanks
