Software anti-aliasing values can range from 1 to 64. A higher value increases the sampling rate, but also
increases processing time. An anti-aliasing of 1 means no anti-aliasing is performed and the result is a hard
edge.
TIP A higher anti-aliasing value is usually needed with outlined text.
Softness box Defines the softness of the anti-aliasing samples.
Blur box Sets Gaussian Blur or Box Blur. Gaussian Blur uses subpixel resolution and creates a subtle effect
with the Blur Shadow attribute. Gaussian has rounded, smoother edges and is better for animation; however,
processing time is increased.
Box Blur has rectangular, rougher edges, but is more economical with rendering time, especially if you are
working on a rough draft.
Rendering Text Clips
You can render clips in progressive or interlaced mode. Interlaced rendering produces a better result, especially
if you use keyframes that are far apart, but it takes longer to render. You should preview the quality of the
image and the text before you process the final clip.
To render a clip with text:
1 From the Rendering box, select Interlaced, Progressive, or Auto (to render using the mode of the back
clip).
2 From the Render Mode box, select which clip gets processed.
To:Select:
Render only the text on the back layer.RGB
Render only the matte of the text. The text fill transparency attribute is transferred to the
matte. By generating a matte, you can easily composite the text onto another clip.
Matte
Render the text on the back layer and the matte of the text. The fill transparency is removed
from the text and transferred to the matte.
