  • Jagged edges in eps file in FCP 7

    Posted by Alyssa Grinberg on January 23, 2015 at 8:53 pm

    I have an eps file and I am trying to bring it into FCP 7 but the edges look jagged. I have tried a number of different things and nothing seems to work…

    –I started with the file in illustrator and saved for web as a png file
    –I have saved the file in photoshop, saved for web as a png file
    –I have adjusted the size down in FCP 7 but still the same issue
    –I have pulled the file into compressor after it’s been saved as a png
    –I have put the file into motion and exported as an mov file. It looks good there, but when I pull it into FCP I have the same issue. This leads me to believe it’s a FCP issue

    I have not had this issue with other files and would really appreciate any help. I have run out of creative solutions.

    Thanks for your reply Dave. The Field Dominance column is all set to none. So, I don’t think that’s the issue. Still trying to sort it out.

    The settings for the clip can be viewed here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdia9r0pswu2czg/Screen%20Shot%202015-01-26%20at%2010.28.47%20AM.png?dl=0

    I see that alpha is set to straight for this .png but for the other .png files that don’t seem to have issue it’s set to white. Do you think this could be it?

    A 634 x 182 resolution still file is pretty small for a 1920 x 1080 sequence. Is it intended to fill the frame and/or what percentage are you enlarging it?

    I have tried with a much larger file size, and it still shows the jagged edges. I have tried it at 100% and also reduced down and still the same issue.
