Poor Text in Motion 2 or FCP 5
Posted by John Petros on August 22, 2007 at 4:55 amFor some reason my text always looks blurry and blocky and bleeding – (the 3 bees) I have tried adjusting ire etc. none of that has any effect. Is there something basic that I`m doing wrong that keeps me from getting excellent text?

August 24, 2007 at 1:27 amThanks for the tip. I put them on photo bucket.
One pic is from Motion, the other is when i render it to the timeline in FCP5.https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/ghostcar13/InFCP.png

I exported as animation, and the standalone .mov file is perfect – just like in motion.
But when I import the .mov into FCP it gets ugly.
I made sure the IRE`s are at 70. And the frame rate/size match my current timeline in FCP.
I also tried duplicating the frames from FCP to Motion but same bad results.
Anyway I`m at a loss, is there some basic step I`m missing? Have you seen this problem before? -

August 24, 2007 at 2:45 pmI’m not sure what’s going on, but it looks like the FCP pic has been resized to make it 716×300, while the Motion version is 683×347. It’s not a huge difference, but it will effect the quality.

August 25, 2007 at 1:14 amNo the frame size is not what I`m referring to. The frame size is due to my using the (apple/shift/4) key to draw a square around the text so you can see the quality in both environments.
I checked and double checked frame size, the output, all, to make sure it matches the FCP timeline media.
