    I have a short video project which had a few scenes with close-ups of corporate memos and an email screen.

    I’ve tried creating the text in Illustrator and withing AE (write-on) but when I pull the shots into the final project and render , the text is not very clear. The text is black on white and I’ve tried Quicktime (with the Animation preset). I’ve also converted the final product (using Squeeze) to other formats. Some are better than others but nothing is clear.

    It’s even worse when I play the DVD on the television. Any tips on overcoming this? I know this is done because I see it on television and in movies. What am I missing?

    Thanks in advance for any input

    When I pull the image and look at it as a separate file, it’s perfectly clear. That won’t helpexplain the problem. You’d think me insane. Not sure if this will work bu, here goes.

    There is a blurring of certain lines. It’s as though the text is passing behind warped glass. If I move the text up or down, it will be clear but the line below and above it then move into a blurred section.

    Gotta head to the airport now. I’ll be iout of town for a few days but will have access to email. I can’t figure out how to embed a pic in the post. I thought you could do so. I can also send you an email. Let me know.

    I’ll try that. I’ve been trying to think of several things to try. That might do the trick. I thought doing it in ILL would work too. I’ll try the EPS option to see if that makes a diff. Thanks Dave. I’m willing to try anything so if anyone has a thought, don’t be afraid to chime in 🙂

    I’ve never had this type of problem before so it may be something new that I’ve done.

    Thanks again
