No it's not squeezed up it's a lwr third banner that stays in position so it's not that. In fact we even deliver a separate AE project of the credits because they deemed the Avid titles too soft even though their delivery specs specifically tell how to export the credit banner from Avid. And yes the Avid title look soft when compared to the AE version but Avid softens the transitions to avoid spikes that result in abrupt level transitions happen pixel to pixel. Even ABC is rejecting shows with these kind of spike all of a sudden. Oh well I'll check out the network but my understanding is they may replace the video content with a promo but the credit banner remains in the same position.

I get the note the Title banner isn't left justified to the credit grid. The difference is bumping the line four cursor arrows to the left. This places the banner just outside of 4x3 safe inside 16x9. This template is different from the show template by the same amount. Okay I'll move it but what is really annoying is the cable networks in house graphics group did the open title which is much further outside 4x3 safe and they said oh we intended it to be that way. WTF? The networks show template defines 4x3 safe title right where the Avid's internal generator displays it so why do the ignore that on a credit bed template? Oh and they totally ignore safe title vertically allowing the credits to ride down to safe action. Man I'm glad it's not my job to look at delivered shows and decide which standards we're going
