Opacity fade of titles is pixelating text

I'm making a video with mostly titles. I have found the video transitions to be very choppy, so I've opted to control the opacity fade of each individual title, creating keyframes that move from 0%-100% then back 100%-0%. This simulates a nice fade from black, fade to black effect. However, when i do this all of the text in my titles pixelates. Any ideas?

Yes. It's on full.
I went ahead and ran an export just to see what it looks like, and the pixelation doesn't occur in the exported file, so I guess it's fine, just had me concerned while making the video.

Pixel text over opacity fill

Hello,
I have text on top of an 85% opacity white fill. When I save as an eps the text gets pixelated when placed in InDesign. It doesn't happen all the time. When the InDesign file gets exported as a pdf I can open the file in Illustrator and I've found that the pixel text is a group. I have screen shots of what I'm experiencing:
Pixel text-
Pixel group-
I'd really like to find out what is causing this. Beyond the text it is also affecting my vector lines. I may have to stop using this technique and I'd rather that not happen. Any solutions out there? Has anyone else come across this?
I might get around this by saving the eps as a high resolution transparency eps, but I still want to know if there is something going on that I'm not aware of.
I've tried searching for pixelated text but have not found anything associated with Illustrator. Please forgive me if this question is somewhere in the history.
Any help/suggestions at all is very appreciated. Thank you.
Cheers,
Geokatze

Why EPS and not .ai or even pdf??? Is there some reason you're tied to the EPS format?
EPS is a flat file format. When you add transparency (or blending modes) in Illustrator then save as na EPS the file gets flattened to maintain appearance. An easy way around this is to stop using the EPS format. It's really becoming antiquated. Youc an save as a .ai or .pdf and place in Indesign and all the transparency and layers will be maintained.
You can also better prepare the file for an eps save by using the flattener preview.. Window > Flattener preview and the Flatten Transparency command in the Object menu. These will let you see what is getting flattened and how it's going to look when flattened allowing you to make adjustments within AI before saving as an eps.

Fade a title in Premiere Pro CS3

How can I fade a title in/or/out in Premiere Pro CS3???

Ann's Cross-dissolve will probably be exactly what you want, and is very simple too. If you want more control, you can also Keyframe the fixed Effect>Opacity to suit. Also, other Effects (say Gaussian Blur), can also be added. More work, with more potential and control.
Still think that Ann has nailed it.
Good luck,

Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

Hello,
I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:

(assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
My question is: can I replace this by

For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
   border: 0;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
(although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
Any comment welcome...
Emilie
P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct?

Spry Tabbed Panels set to use the Opacity fade out / in

can the Spry Tabbed Panels be set to use the Opacity fade out / in similar to the Spry Image SlideShow effects?

First add an ID to the tab as follows or similar
<h2 id="second">Tab 2</h2>
Then add a style rule to add a background image as follows or similar
.TabbedPanelsTab#second {
background:url(myImage.gif);

IE 6 - I really can't get rid of the 3-pixel text jog

Hello,
I'm afrait that's a bit more of the same about the 3-pixel text jog. I'm testing a website in IE6, have spent a whole day trying to figure out how to get rid of this jog, tried various solutions found in this forum and on the web, and nothing works. I don't understand why the zoom property works for most people except me!
The website is here: http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/
I've put background colors to the main div tags to check the layout, so that's why it looks funny.
I wouldn't be that bothered with a 3-pixel extra gap between elements if it wasn't turning some page layout upside down. For these pages, the content zone (light blue background) jumps down until the side menu bottom edge (yellow background).
Examples of the problem:
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/research.html
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/support/training.html
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/about/contact/enquiries.html
(All other pages will show you how it's meant to be displayed.)
If someone has an idea, I'd really appreciate to hear about it!
Emilie
P.S.: I also attach a screenshot to show what I'm seeing. This is in IE 6 on Windows XP emulated on Mac OS X 10.5 via VMware, so perhaps this problem only occurs with this computer configuration (which would then solve the problem!).

If that may help anyone, I eventually managed to solve this problem! Here is the solution in "my" case. I thought it was only the 3-pixel text jog problem, but I needed two corrections and therefore I suspect I had two problems mixed—making it a total nightmare to debug for a newbie because the widely documented 3-pixel text jog fix didn't work.
Context : in this page structure, the elements in trouble in IE 6 are the divs #SideMenu (the side menu, orangish background colour in the attached screenshot) and #Content (the content area, blueish background colour). #SideMenu is floated left and has a width of 16 em. #Content is not floated and has a left-margin of 16 em (no width, it's supposed to take whatever is left on the page and the page is allowed to extend from 770 pixels to 970 pixels in width).
Problem: for some pages with this HTML structure (and just nothing fancy inside #Content), the entire #Content div drops down until the top of #Content matches the bottom of #SideMenu.
I needed two fixes, which I both coded to be for IE6 only using IE conditional comments.
Fix 1: A new CSS rule for #Content that (re)sets the left margin to 16.5 em. That gives more room to the divs and the entire #Content div isn't dropping down any longer. However, after setting this up, some other pages started to show some problems: part of the content of #Content would drop down (e.g. a table inside #Content).
Fix 2: applying the zoom: 1 property to #Content fixed this second problem.
I hope this makes sense and might help someone else.

Opacity fade as brush size enlarges...how ?

Hi,
Photoshop CS5.1
I need my brush getting larger and fainter, or failing that, getting smaller and starting at 0 and ending at 100% opacity.
I can see how to make opacity fade with distance , brush transfer Flow jitter 0 control fade 25% minimum 10% but where is the control to make the brush diameter larger ?
I am with mouse by the way.

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.

How to fade a title in and out?

Hi,
I don't find how to fade a title superposing a clip in and out.
Thanks for all hints
Alooha

Troy,
I understand what your saying.
First of all, what your doing a called a video effect not a transition. A transition is applied between two clips. The only "Swirl" in PP is a transition.
What you are refering to is the alpha key and, in a product like Boris Red, you must set the alpha key "on" in order to make the black "alpha" area transparent.
You must be using some third party plugin or are importing an image where you think the black area is an alpha channel but is not? Because i've only had problems with the black area (alpha channel) when using third party plugins like Boris FX or RED. With Boris, the alpha channel only works with effects not transitions. So if you have a scaled Boris transition between two clips or images overlayed above some background in PP, the background will not show through. If you've imported an image into PP with black areas that you want to be transparent, then you have to apply a key to remove the black or use an image format like ".PNG" - it includes the alpha channel.
If you have a PP titler page or clip and are using just PP effects and transitions, there should be no alpha channel problem no matter how you scale or manipulate the object, even if they are all in the same sequence and on top of each other. The only time you will encounter this problem is when you import a clip or image with black areas, as opposed to an alpha channel, that you want to make transparent.
So... If this a problem using third party effects plugins then i offer my apologise since they don't always function properly with respect to alpha channels. Otherwise, for an experienced editor, you need to read up on alpha channels and keying. :)
regards,

How can I edit the title or body text of received email?

I read somewhere in this forum a long time ago that, in Mail, you cannot edit anything within received email for security reasons.
With Eudora, I have always done things such as reformatting the body text of received email by applying colors or making text bold, etc., in order to make the email useful to me.
Is there a way around in Mail to edit either the title or body text of received email?

About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks for your help, though.

Three Pixel Text Jog

When I do a Browser Compatibility Check using Dreamweaver CS3
I received the error Three Pixel Text Jog.
When I double click on the error, the following html gets
highlighted:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
{imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new
Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1",
{contentIsOpen:false});
</script>
I've read up on Three Pixel Text Jog and understand that when
anonymous line boxes (boxes that contain inline content) are
adjacent to a float, a 3px gap appears between the line box and the
edge of the float.
But this doesn't seem relevant to my problem. Or does it?
Anyone?

The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct?

Any way to automate text opacity fade in and fade out?

I am doing a lot of text subtitles, and for each subtitle, I take a text slug, type in the text, then at the beginning of the clip I make the opacity zero, then a second in I increase the opacity to 100%, then I apply "Smooth" to each point and then do the opposite on the tail end.
Is there anyway to automate the fade in and fade out of opacity so that I can save myself a ton of time?
Thanks so much.
Charles

Several ways to do it:
• Set the Opacity changes to one clip; copy the clip then Paste Attributes->Opacity to the other clips at one time.
• Use a Fade In Fade Out transition as the default transition and apply to all selected clips at the same time.
• Use a filter like Digital Heaven's DH Fade and apply to all clips (Paste Attributes->Filters.

Pixelated text on ipad retina

Hello,
I have an iPad2 and an iPad with Retina display for testing my folios. I've just created a folio in horizontal format with the settings 1024x768 pixels as this is the only horizontal iPad format you can select in Indesign (as far as I know). Now I'm checking my folio and on the iPad2 it looks fine but on the iPad Retina the text is pixelated. Help :-(

Create a new folio and use the PDF format for the articles. If this makes no
sense to you I invite you to watch my new lynda.com course.

Live Type - Fades and Title Movement with Animation

I am wondering how to add fades (fade in and fade out) to text or animation. I am also wondering how it might be possible to
animate text. Thank you very much!

1. Simple. It's just a matter of adding two keyframes to an effects container that change the opacity level over time.
2. Very possible. Add any of the dozens of animation presets to a LiveType timeline and look in the Inspector's Effects tab to see what the active parameters are and deconstruct them. Do your own experimentation.
3. Read the extensive .pdf manual found in the Help menu bar item.
