Jaggies, AE 6.5, and DVD Architect
I have a PSD file with approx 15 layers used to create a DVD Menu. When importing to DVD Architect as a flat PSD file, it looks beautiful. When importing into AE to add motion to a few layers and add footage to the comp, the video falls apart. Jagged, interlaced lines on every edge.
I’m using Photoshop CS2. The PSD file was created using the DV NTSC template. Aspect Ratio Correction is on NTSC DV (.09). It imports fine into DVDA just the way it is. The Menus that are NOT animated were created using the same file and look perfect.
When I bring the PSD into AE and render it out as AVI, MOV, or M2V I get jaggies.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I’ve had terrible problems with aliasing in 6.5 both from photoshop files and from illustrator files.
And it happens almost every time I use a lot of precomps in 3d space – I use nulls a lot and
am starting to suspect that might exacerbate aliasing..A couple of things that have helped on occasion:
Render in frames instead of fields. Not a great solution, but at least the alasing improves.
Rendering from a precomp, and using the mov
(quicktime on Mac, and I guess AVI on pc?) in place of your precomp.If you were working with illustrator files, there are a lot of things you can try – one is to
scale the element way up in illustrator, instead of doing this in AE.A tip Trish Meyer recommends, but hasn’t worked for me yet, is to try moving your frame up
or down a single pixel. -
I’m sure you know to have “Best Quality” checked on for all of you layers. And quality Best nd Resolution Full in the render menu.

Thanks Jean,
I just opened AE and since moving the comp up or down a pixel is the fastest solution, I’m goin gto try it right now.
Yes, Best Quality and Full resultion is selected.
Thanks for the response, I’ll keep you posted.
