Marquee for Avid Adrenaline
When I save a title in Marquee it always comes out blured and soft on color in the time line. I have tried many different settings for saving and it is always the same if not worse. The title will be clear and sharp in Marquee, then when I save it, it turns blurry and looks bad from the source monitor to the timeline. When the timeline is in play, it clears up a little bit but is not like it should be. Thoughts?

my thoughts are you will save an enormous amount of time and frustration by just opening after effects. Anything you use in marquee that makes it worth using (motion blur, extrusion, whatever), makes it useless because the render times are too long.
In your case, I think your rendering at a low rez but again, AE is yer buddy.

What resolution are you saving it to? If it’s DV25, it will look bad. Save it 1:1 if possible.

When it’s in the source or record monitor and it’s not playing you’re only seeing 1 field, so you’re only getting half the picture, hence the nasty look. When it plays you see both fields, which is why it improves.
Is your timeline set to Green/Green mode? It’s the button at the bottom of your timeline, to the right of the fast menu and segment mode arrows. Green/Green is full resolution. If it’s Green/Yellow or Yellow/Yellow you’re viewing downrezzed versions of your footage and graphics.
If you’re in Green/Green and it still looks bad, how are you monitoring it? Are you looking at it on your computer monitor, or on a broadcast monitor? Don’t trust the computer monitor–you should be looking at a broadcast monitor.
Otherwise, I’d do what Grinner suggests and use After Effects if you have it. If you don’t, beg/borrow/steal to get it and learn it. It’s an amazing program and is a very useful addition to an editor’s toolkit.
