I've gotten to like the look of a black border around my videos. I typically do this by using the track pan/crop/motion tool and scaling the horizontal height from 720 to let's say 680. The vertical height is chained to reduce automatically.

What I've been noticing though is that this can throw alias artifacts into the final avi render. Diagnal lines or oblique movements of subjects will have a choppy/aliased edge that's quite unsightly.

Should uniform scaling cause alias artifact? Anybody else observe this?

Thanks,
