I have found that most of my problems have stemmed from the choices the editor makes on the Avid import settings.

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!
