Anyone have tips on an approach to reduce Noise In the Edges of a Title?

Here is the title:

Its really just a "cut out" with a stroke that then overlays a flashy and colorful video in an NLE.

It looks OK but by the time its rendered down to MPEG the edges get too crunchy.

Any tips would be great…

This question would be best asked in a video forum where issues of motion and appropriate codec settings are better discussed. There you can discuss what type of MPEG encoding is used and at what data rate. High contrast can be a challenge to encode but it is not an impossibility. You’d deal with this in your NLE (and a video forum), not in Photoshop.

It is difficult to give any tips when we cannot be sure of what noise you see. Why don’t you post a sample? Why don’t you explain what type of compression is being used?

Without knowing details, the advice here would be no better than the stock advice for dealing with JPG stills… avoid high contrast, high detail, and noise.

Jim, thanks for the feedback…I see your point….taking down the contrast seems the best bet here…

You should not have a problem with even the high contrast in the original sample if you use the proper MPEG settings, which are still unexplained. Are you using MPEG1?

The second sample has thinner outlines so you may be introducing more trouble. Unless you are rendering this video from Photoshop, you are wasting your time by not asking in a video forum and explaining the workflow to encoding.
