I am putting some animated titles that I created in after effects onto a project in avid 5.1.6. The thing is...I have one little problem that is bugging the hell out of me. When I output the animation from after effects, everything looks great...the edgess are nice and smooth...even on my realtime ntsc output monitor. But...as soon as I import them into avid, the nice smooth edges are all of a sudden all jagged. I tried messing around with the import settings but cannot seem to find a method that will make them look as nice as they do before I input into avid. I was going to post some screen grabs but if I ouput a graphic, everything looks fine again. Any thoughts anyone?? Thanks!!
 
Try exporting them using "ANIMATION" or DV NTSC(sorry I don't have AE with me right now..can't remember exactly what it is..DV NTSC I'm sure..)...was it shot on DV?
 
The orginal title is from illustrator. I allways export with the highest resolution and it looks fine...the problem is after I import it into avid...thats when it looses res. i have tried, what i beleive to be, all different setttings, none of which maintain the res...any thoughts. thanks!
