Rough Looking AE Crawl in Avid
Greetings,
I’ve created a graphic for clients in After Effects. It is simply text (with a nice glow) that has an alpha channel. I make it QuickTime movie using the Animation Codec
When I bring it into Avid Media Composer Aderenaline, it looks “ratty” (no offense meant to rats). It’s hard to read, almost like there’s an issue w/the fields. I’ve created two graphics in AE. One is a small disclaimer that is static on the screen and looks very good. The other is this crawl that’s hard to read when it’s moving.
Anybody have a good workflow for this kind of thing?
Thanks,
Tim

Avid is setup to “draft” mode. In Avid, on the lower left of your timeline, is icon that is sometimes yellow, sometimes green, and sometimes split. If that’s yellow or yellow/green, that’ll lower the resolution of the final comp.

Thanks, but I’m all green in MCA with the resolution so that’s not it.

Well then it sounds like its just standard field problem from skinny, un-bold text that is so small, each field tears it apart. I bet it’s flickering too. Make it big, bold(bald?), slower moving, and fat, like my boss.

if your per frame vertical movement greater than about 1% of the frame height, the movement will not look smooth, even if your movement is in whole pixels or even scan lines… it will look rather strobe like due to the distance the text moves each frame. (note the 1% is just an estimation and is somewhat dependent on text size and frame rate).https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/916987#917368
