  • How to avoid fuzzy/ugly lines on text/credits ?

    Posted by Monkchild on December 11, 2005 at 12:34 pm

    Hello.

    Is it possible to get rid of those ugly/fuzzy lines that appear on all text (despite using thick fonts, a bit of shadowing, etc.) that you insert in your video project? There must be a way to make professional looking motion graphics for monitors, I mean, all the ones on the web (the trailers for movies for example) look fine…

    Are you saying you are compressing it for the web? How are you compressing it? What format are you exporting out of AE with? Any way to get a short .mov clip of what you are talking about?

    Most of us here don’t have ANY problems with text in our Full RES projects.

    Are you rendering interlaced ??

    Because if you do so, and you watch them on a PC monitor ( which is progressiv) it got these lines in there. You can change that in the render settings. Chose Field Render -> Off. Than it should work.

    If your problem is more complicated than I’m sorry.

    You are most likely rendering to the PAL of NTSC DV preset which makes your video interlaced on output. The ugly twitching is due to interlacing.
