• Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy

  Pixelated, Blurry Text

  Posted by Heringji on September 28, 2006 at 3:46 pm

  Hi,
  I added to my sequence using Final Cut Pro also, I used the font Impact and changed the color to light purple, added some movement to it. It shows up as looking wonderful before I render it. Then after I render it, it looks horrible. All blurry or pixelated. I tried using the anti-alias effect with it’s range set on 1. That also looked bad. Any suggestions?

  I searched through the archive posts and my questions had already been answered before. I put my render settings on “Full”, and then I watched my sequence play on a tv monitor. Looks fine. I wonder why it looks so bad on Final Cut. Hmm…

  Shane’s Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback

  ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.

  1. Disable overlays on the canvas
  2. Make sure you’ve rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

  Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
