Re: QT import problem

[Andy.Goyne(at)usoc.org]

I decided to put the background under the logos in AE and the same problem is there. The AE comp size is 720x486 & I import it into the DS with "Center & Keep Original Size." The DS project is uncompressed as well as the animation.
I play the avi file in media player and all looks well, it played it back smooth & the jagged edges are barely noticeable.
I exported the clip out as an avi file & it plays back smooth & the edges look good.
When I play back the clip in DS it looks like...
The logos that have straight edges looks like zig-zags down the right edge as the logo is flying in.

I think I will export the clip then re-import it.

Thanks for the help everyone - this problem is goofy.

Sorry if this is totally off but: this sounds like a missmatched frame
size, as if the horisontal lines aren't where they are supposed to be
and the image is rebuilt, stretched or squeezed - or something like
that. Are you sure the file is the right size?
