Does this go away if you render? An imported still exists as one single frame of media played out as a RT effect if not rendered. Might well make a difference.

>Is seems that keyable graphics imported as stills (Tiff, TGA, Photoshop..any format) appear softer in a 1080i project than if the same exact graphic is created as a QuickTime movie (Avid DNX or Animation codec)

>At first I thought it was incorrect settings for field order in the import dialog for the still version, but changing the setting to all three different options does not fix the problem.

>As a test, make a simple graphic with text in After Effects (1080i, not 1080p)...export it both as a still and as an Avid QuickTime DNX file.
>
>Import both into your Avid and cut between them keyed over a shot. Are they identical or is the still slightly softer? Please check in a broadcast monitor, not a computer screen,
>
>BTW, if imported into Premiere and FCP, they ARE identical but not in Avid. I used After Effects for testing, as it is easy to do...but we first discovered the issue with graphics exported from a Chyron Lyric. We first thought the problem was there, but after testing with other software, it appears universal. Everything works fine in a progressive project, but interlaced causes the issue. As I said earlier, changing the field order setting when importing the still does not fix the problem.
