Re: [Avid-L2] BORDER on TITLE ??

Are you saying the graphics actually include a black background or
that they came in with alpha and key to the layer below (if there is
one) ? If they already key maybe you could try BCC Glow Alpha Edges
(in the BCC Effects category) ? It's designed more for softer edge
glows, but it might be able to be tweaked to give a harder edge if
that's what you're after.
