September 10, 2007 at 7:01 pmIs your project in DV or some other 29.97 fps format? If so, the wave or jitter is most likely due to interlacing, which happens because of the way that standard definition interlaced video shows you every other line of resolution at a time.
Probably the quickest solution is to use the de-interlace filter in FCP, although this probably won’t completely eliminate the problem if you’re outputting to standard def 29.97 video. You can also further reduce interlace flicker in titles by avoiding fonts that have a thin serif and sticking to thicker, block text. You might also try creating titles in Motion, Live Type, After Effects, or some other motion graphics software that might be better suited to finer control over your credits.
Good luck.
