  • Photoshop import gives me strange lines

    I’ve made a fancy little box in Photoshop. In FCP I fly the two layers together over video, then I add a font on top. Pretty standard stuff. The graphic is saved as a PSD so I can bring in the layers separately.

    Before I render everything looks fine. After I render there are very thin green and pink lines adjacent to my little graphic. The lines are visible on both the computer screen and the NTSC video monitor. I tried different backgrounds and different positions on the screen, but to no avail.

    The timeline is Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2. The graphic was created with the Photoshop 720X480 template.

    What am I doing wrong?

    What colors are you using in the graphic?

    a mild pinkish red and beige. Nothing very saturated.

    its a bug that has been there a while. Try saving the files as tiff’s as opposed to psd’s. That should do the trick.

    Worked around the problem. Here’s what I did (in case anyone finds this in a search)

    Instead of using Photoshop’s NTSC 720X480 template I just made my own 4 inches by 3 inches at 300DPI project. Yeah, I know, its more pixels than necissary.

    But it worked. Graphics made at this scale did not have the thin line artifacts.

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I have a question…did you compare render times between the old artifact-ed Photoshop file and the 300 dpi version?

    Just curious-
