How do I get a nice watermark?
I am using compressor and my watermarks look terrible. I've tried fidling with the color and anti-aliasing to no avail. Any ideas on how to get a nice looking one?
TIA |

Your example - being solid white - clearly has no grey scale information that can be used by an alpha channel. Time to dig into the manual. Good luck. |

Yeah, tried that. The same thing happens with a grey or blue. The identical PNG looks fine when added in the timeline. I know I did this before and it looked fine. Even when I turn transparency off and not scale the image, it gets ragged. I I am suspecting something in Compressor 2 changed. I am using FCS 1.

I've done all of my watermarks in photoshop, exported a png file and dropped that into my final cut pro timeline.
