  • Jagged Text and Logo after compressing a movie…

    Posted by Adam Lewen on May 25, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Hello there.
    I have been reading some posts about my, and similar problems, but could not find a solution;

    My problem is:
    I am making a short clip with some hi-rez footage and some titles (text layer in After Effects).

    When rendering to the best settings everything is ok.
    But when compressing the large file a bit, whether in After Effects, a third party compressor, or even just making a DVD from the good-looking-large file; all the text is showing with jagged edges… which is a real downer 🙁

    Anyone familiar with this issue??
    Thanks in advanced!

    Just render with the Animation codec at highest quality. Then use a Best Quality preset in DVD Studio Pro to compress to MPEG.
    I don’t use Encore but I’m sure it has an equivalent preset

    Thanks for replying.

    I tried a couple of different methods when burning to DVD. With no real luck. I also need the files a bit compressed, without burning them to DVD (the situation now is 1GB for 42 sec…) an whenever i compress it a bit a lot of info is being jagged…
    I think i am doing something wrong while rendering, but I am not sure.
