are we talking about MOV files?

I know you wrote you sent straight alpha - you should double check if AE interperts the file you sent as straight alpha in the project preview window thus eliminating the option that you did actually sent the premultiplied version instead of straight. just checking if it looks fine on AE wont help you since if it is premultiplied it will look fine and on Avid it wont.

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

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!
