Keying problems with text from Title Designer

Feb 6, 2013 11:04 AM

I'm using the Title Designer to create legal text for a spot.  Looks great in the Title Designer window but when I go out to my timeline the edge seems to erode slightly making the font look thinner.  Is this normal or am I missing a step?  It almost seems like a premultiplication error.

    Is the title over black?  Do you have GPU acceleration on?

    No, it's black text keyed over running footage.  In the Title Designer it looks fine, edges are solid and clean.  When I exit and go to timeline, it gets eroded when placed over the same footage.  For now, I fixed the problem by changing the blending mode from Normal to Multiply and the solid edges came back.  Would be nice to know what's causing this though.  Oh, and GPU acceleration is on.

    Try it with the GPU off and see what happens.

    Are you sure your program monitor resolution is set to full?

    Yep, that seems to be the problem Ann.  Is this normal for GPU acceleration or is this unique to my lowly Quadro 4000?

    Joe, both playback and paused resolution are definitely set to full.

    The above image is from a project with GPU acceleration enabled.

    Make sure you have the latest driver installed.
