    hello
    i have made a sequence with psds and color mattes. yet my color mattes are ugly. for the colors mattes i I cut down their sizes and yet contrary to my psd, the result of my color mattes are pixelized. do i have to put a filter on, or is there any way to improve the quality of it.
    In addition, i have compressed it for the web and in mp2 to see the result and everything is fine exept the mattes. can someone tip me ?
    thanks a bunch

    How do they look on your video monitor? Don’t have one? That’s your first problem–all rendered graphics can only be judged on a video monitor and NOT the Canvas.

    If one element looks crisp in your comp, while others are pixelated, maybe you scaled them up beyond 100%. Guessing here. Without a picture, it’s hard to diagnose your trouble.

    I’ve been reading the threads to fix pixelated graphics but after applying the “fixes” I still have the same problem when rendered. I’ve gone into Sequence settings and changed the Video Processing: Motion Filter Quality to Best (as per Walter) and Fastest (as per others) and with both changes it looks great in preview (OPT-P) on my NTSC monitor.
    But as soon as I render it – back to the ugly pixelated graphic. Any answers out there?
