Hey Kevin,

I checked and OpenGL isn’t checked for the final renders nor is it checked for the previews….

Hey Kevin,

I toggled that preview (square w/double headed arrow) and it looks the same either way. I am currently only able to view my animation using a computer monitor. I am not hooked up to a TV. But I’m sure its no different as far as the wavyness I am getting in my text and images when I ram preview it because after I render it out for Avid..I then see it on a broadcast monitor and it does the same thing. This wavyness only happens when a move is applied to text and images. The edges are still jagged. I know with photos though, this happens when Avid importants them and the editor tries to do a rotate..they also get that jagged edge that pulsates as the picture moves.

Its a crazy thing…but I do appreciate you taking the time to help out. I’ll keep experimenting.

Thank You

Thanks for the suggestion Kevin. That appears to not be the issue though…everything is in full/best quality

Thanks for the input. I’m rerendering as we speak. I am using AE 7.0 not CS3. As I’m watching this rerender though, things are being squished and stretched. For instance, there is this stripe that comes from the left side of the screen and has text written on it. The point is for them to come in together and then the stripe exits the same way it came in. Long story short, the stripe doesnt cover the text anymore, instead it only comes about halfway between what it use to. Is that something I’ll have to fix after I change to NTSC DV Widescreen before rerendering?

As for the MPEG2 Compression: the editor used “Compressor” on the new iMac choosing the high quality settings – which authors the DVD. I’m not sure about the color management side of it.

Thanks again for your time!
