Wavy text in Avid
Exporting my AE movie- looks fine when viewed in Quicktime. When it’s broughtt into Avid, the edges of the type are wavy. I have tried exporting with different codecs, comp sizes 720 x 480 non square and 720 540 square and have the import settings in Avid evry way possible.
Any ideas? Thanks.

With Avid make sure you are rendering lower field first, and in the import dialogue on the avid have set it to lower field first. The NTSC D1 720×486 preset is the correct aspect for 4×3.
Often I find when bringing into the avid if I’m moving the text too slow or fast, or the text is too fine, no matter what my settings are there will be interlacing issues.

Thanks Johnny. Had lower field selected. I’ll try 20 by 486 and see.

Can’t believe I forgot this yesterday, and in theory it shouldn’t matter, but you could try it. Go to the avid.com and do a search for the avid quicktime codec. Really, if you your animation settings are correct, it should not matter, but at least it will import into the avid much quicker, but maybe it will make a slight difference in quality.
