Motion: Aliased edges on some objects exported using Compressor

Resolution

There are a number of different ways to work around this issue so that object edges will appear smooth, as below. Choose one that suits your workflow from these methods.

• Use a solid background.
  Before you export, make the background of your project solid instead of transparent. This will not preserve the alpha channel.
  1. Choose Edit > Project Properties.
  2. In the General tab, choose Solid from the Background menu.
  3. Click OK.
• Export Apple ProRes 422 without using Compressor.
  This issue should not occur when exporting ProRes files directly without using Compressor.
  1. Choose File > Export.
  2. From the Use menu choose one of the Apple ProRes 422 options.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Type a name, choose a location, and click Export.
• Use Animation codec instead of ProRes.
  This method is useful in cases where you need to preserve the alpha channel transparency of your project. 
  1. Choose File > Export using Compressor.
  2. Choose Animation Alpha from the Export Preset menu.
  3. Click Export.
  4. Type a name, choose a location and click Export to export to Compressor.

Note: The Animation codec is limited to 32-bit color (8 bits per channel)
