Thanks Bret! I tried that already but tried it again just now to be sure and still not fixing my problem. I tried a big dark drop shadow as well but didn’t fix my issue.

Thanks for the help Michael. I’m running 6.0.6. I created a new project, created a Pro Res 422 (HQ) timeline, imported the .psd file and dropped it into the timeline. It still is jagged.

When i first imported the psd, in the FCP browser, it listed the XDCAM EX 720p24 for the “compressor”. I changed that to the Pro Res setting and after exporting and viewing it the lower section of the icon is still jagged.

Thanks Olin… definitely RGB.

Thanks for commenting Dan. I’m a fan of the Traveller as well. The Explorer is their new system designed for lighter cameras so it too is lighter. It’s also modular in that it can convert to a trolly as well.

Thanks Daniel.

1) On apple’s forum, I found that people were recommending using the “Apple DV – PAL” codec (it is pal footage). I tried that and it worked MUCH better… smaller file size after the demuxing and it went into FCP without needing to render. Do you think the Apple ProRes is an even better choice?

2) I have been using the .flv preset called “VP6_768K” and i tweak it just a little bit.

Thanks again!!
