Jagged Edges using Warp Tool

Hello,

I have been trying to use the warp tool to ripple some type. But I want the type to still remain clean on the edges. When I do the effect, it seems to produce these uneven edges. I am not sure how to fix this. I played with the individual settings on the warp tool, but nothing produced a more smooth edge. What should I do? (I also tried using the wave/flag tool to produce a similar effect, but it didn't quite match what I wanted)

Hi for this example I used the flag effect on a simple rectangle first (not directly on the type). Then I expanded the appearance of the distorted rectangle and used this as the envelope to distort the live type. This keeps the edges much nicer.

Do you mean a result like this?

Hey there, yeah something like that. I wanted a bit more control over the warping of the type, so I was using the warp tool. But I know that you can do something similar with the wave/flag effects. What did you do here for this type? Do you think I should just stick to the mesh tool? Would that decrease the uneven edges on the type better?
