Text is blurry
I am creating my text useing the simple text generator in final cut pro. I was trying to create a music video text layover that goes in the bottom left of the screen. After i added the text generator the green bar appeared over the top of the text telling me it needed to be rendered. When i viewed the text frame by frame with out it being rendered the text looks very crisp and clear. After rendering the text it becomes blurry and almost unreadable. I’ve never had this problem before and im totally stumped. Even when i bring text in from livetype it looks blurry as well.

Make sure your render settings are set to high.
Also, check that your text positioned on an even number on the Y-axis.Christoph

They say you should make sure you view your video on an actual NTSC monitor, too.
That notwithstanding, there are known issues with FCP text.

About the even line on the Y axis… a quick question…
I have experienced this with text, too – but even when I crop my movies to make it 16:9 (on a 4;3 monitor of course) and I do some adjustments to the image (I put it lower or higher), sometimes the image gets blurry. Now I understand that if it “falls” on some lines it gets blurry – how do you make sure that even if you move it up and down it stays clean? It has to do with odd/even lines on the Y axis? It’s just a matter of chenging the crop parameters to a odd line?
Thanks!

I am sorry to sound so stupid but where are the odd/even lines on the Y axis located? I have a problem with blurry text and I would like to try that, but I don

Could someone please explain how to locate the Y axis (i.e. make it visible) and which line specifically the text should be lined up on?
I am rendering special features for feature film DVD and the blurry text looks awful.
Many thanks.
