Re: [Avid-L2] credit rolls

 

We used a service called endcrawl on the last feature I worked on. It is a fantastic tool. Allows collaboration in the creation and editing and approval of the credits and they guarantee no jitter. Might be costly for small or multiple projects, but for a feature film it was a huge expense-saver! They would render out as many lower quality versions (MPEG4) as you wanted, and only charged for the final "broadcast" version.

I use Illustrator for my text fields and After Effects to animate the roll.  Then I render out a movie file or image sequence to use in the final conform.

I've been having problems with this recently.  We receive rolls as psd's from graphics.  Marquee won't do a high resolution when importing the image, avid pan and zoom won't take the key channel easily, bcc 9 will import and resize, but roll quality is jittery.  I've just finished working on a PNG version of the roll and importing into the new blue titler (vers 1) and was extremely happy with the quality of the roll.  i did a program by program comparison of title quality using title tool, marquee, boris bcc and new blue titler (just one word white letters, serif font lots of curves) and the new blue looked the best to the naked eye.  i haven't downloaded the new blue 2.0 that's included now, so it could be even better.  try it yourselves.
