Re: [Avid-L2] Lower third graphic softness

No Steve, this affects all imported still graphics regardless of file type.
They all get processed through the title tool, which adds the filter. You
can get around it by making a QuickTime movie, as imported movies are not
processed that way.

You probably never noticed the softness, as its very minimal...however, if
you import a graphic made in software that already antialiases, you end up
with double anti-aliasing..which ends up looking quite blurry. You would
also see the softness change if you needed to cut from a Quicktime movie to
a still graphic of the same image (a countdown clock that freezes at a
certain number, for instance).



"Have you tried exporting/importing as PNG files? I have found that PNGs
look better than any other file type. Perhaps the PNGs avoid the filter?"
