[Avid-L2] Re: Importing PSD or Tiff with alpha ... They look awful

you might want to try and scale them to 72dpi as well? I bet it has to do with some downsizing avid is working on.

They look great in Photoshop and AE but when I import them into MC4.0.5 the alpha becomes rough and the edges flicker, particularly on rolling or crawling. It gets worse when I place them over a video track, particularly over a Avid Pan and zoom effect. Obviously I am viewing in green. I also tried Avid Pan and zoom with titles except that the fx cannot see alpha channels.Any ideas are welcome for getting the very best imports possible.
