Hey Lachlan Here's a couple of things to consider. Get the Avid codec from the people you are delivering to (or find out what res they are using and download it yourself. When they import it (if they do it properly) they will get a fast import, which
means there will be no transcoding (i.e. what you have rendered is exactly what they will be viewing in the avid) Also (and apologies if you already know this) your background color should match the edges or your graphic. So if you have a soft dropshadow, your background color should be black. It will look like crap in ae, but when composited in avid it will be perfect.

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! -Lachlan Westfall Quiet Earth Design |
