Here is another problem I'm having with VT-3 CG. I have been having terrible luck with creating scrowling text in CG and outputting to RTV. The text flickers very severely and the client (Who is my friend fortunately), said it isn't acceptable. So I am searching for an alternative.
I have read somewhere that creating CG pages in .png and then using motion in VT-Edit works much better. However, I just can't figure out how to make pages that are very long but not very wide. I have tried to create a motion title and then output to .png and .tga but both seem to be only the dimensions of the screen. I know this worked for me previously but I just can't figure out what I did to make it work.
Are there any GOOD alternatives to Titling other than CG ? How about Premiere Pro for Motion titles ?
Why does CG titles flicker so much ? I don't see this in any professional video productions ?
Why does CG titles flicker so much?
The solution is to use an intermediate color as a font edge that is a compromise between face and background colors.
Unless your scroll page is moving at speeds even divisible by the number of scan lines in your interlaced screen, you will see flashing edges.
the solution is to scroll pages at proper speeds.
I'll give both a try right now as well as your solution to my previous post.
image so I can determnine the optimum speed(s) to use ?
