Thanks so much Michael!

After a lot of research I ended up going with this JBOD from Qnap and did a Raid 5 (kinda wish I’d done a raid 6):

For anyone with the same issue, what I did to resolve it was to re-create the text event using the “Text+” (Custom Title) rather than the “Text” (Basic Title). Seems like a bug in Davinci or something. For any Davinci folks wanting to test this, the font I used was “Bernadette” which I probably downloaded from DaFont.com.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? This continues to be a source of frustration for me.

I think my problem may be solved! Not sure if this is more or less what you were saying Riccardo, but in search for the preference you mentioned, I went to Project Settings/Image Scaling/ and changed Resize filter to “Bilinear” and checked the box to “Override output scaling”, and I was able to render a clean output.

Thanks Riccardo!

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the prerendered graphics out of AE were prores 4444 XQ with alpha and V210 10-bit YUV with alpha. I’ve also since tried DNxHR/DNxHD, DNxHR RGB 444 12-bit, and a png sequence. I’ve tried rendering the graphics out of AE in different color spaces (Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 and sRGB IEC61966-2.1). All of them have more or less the same result, with speckles around the edges of the graphics. Here’s an example:

One note is that when I render out of Davinci as 4K rather than HD, the speckles/artifacting are much less noticable, but still unacceptable. Hopefully that’s a clue.

Thanks Riccardo. I’ll try that for the titles. The edit page side note thing, it’s hard for me to imagine that being normal. If you’ve spent the time to bold/italicize/change fonts, etc, and then want to enlarge everything a bit, having to then redo all of the bold/italicize/etc. everything all over again would be undesirable, no?

[Tim Neighbors]

That’s a good idea. But so if you wanted to use that title in a new project, how do you do it? Do you import that timeline into the new project or something?

And the Lightbox area is very thin, with no way to expand it? And there is some random text and a folder that is visible in a little divider line next to the Lightbox (see attached image). Is this just me? or is it like this for everyone with a second monitor?

Wow. Workspace customization should definitely be on Blackmagic’s to do list. This is kinda crazy.
