There are choices in the import dialog box in avid. Those folks should have a closet look

Hey folks,

I'm sending lower 3rd and titles to folks who are importing in an Avid.

I was sending Lossless with PreMultiplied alpha, then I found out that Avid prefers a Straight alpha, but switching has not seemed to have solved the problem on their end.

They sent me back a composited clip and it's like the edges are way too clean. It's like there's NO anti-aliasing.

I took my comp and put it on top of their footage in AE and it was nice and smooth.

I don't know what else I can do other than send them Straight or PreMultiplied alphas.

Could this be something I'm doing wrong on export? or, as I suspect, could this be an issue with how they are importing the Alpha?

Any help is much appreciated!
