After Effects pixelated font (very weird)

[David Lawrence]

IT WORKED IT WORKED!!! you have no idea the struggles i went through and you guys helped me and i got the intro video to look good finally!!!

yay =)

so the last question now is in reference to combining this intro video =) to the other footage. which I’m assuming i should keep the apple intermediate codec and sequence settings you gave me. if it is at the other settings even final cut pros option where i can input text gets pixelated.

so keep these settings i’m guessing?

can anyone help wit this?

I figured out how to match the sequences for a project from Adobe After Effects to Final Cut Pro 5. Then when that had been fixed I had the After Effects project AND another video project together. I want to export using quicktime conversion. What settings do i need to have in exporting to make sure both videos are not going to get distorted etc. This video is going to be then converted to FLV for website use.

i’ve been following along in this discussion, and just wanted to say THANK YOU to those of you who have contributed. it has helped me resolve some similar AE export issues, for a project that i’m editing in FCP.

in my case, i created a series of text based graphics in photoshop (CS4), then moved those into AE (CS4), adding movement to the graphics (they essentially moved from right to left), then exported with alpha channel to FCP 5.1.4 – only to discover that the text-heavy graphics were very pixelated.

resolving the field dominance issue in FCP helped – by moving it to NONE. i’m also experimenting with doubling the frame rate for the AE composition, then re-importing that newly rendered mov. with alpha channel into FCP, making sure that the field dominance is none in the new FCP sequence.

i haven’t upgraded to FCP 6 yet, but i’m looking forward to that, since it might make some of these kinds of issues less painful for a newbie like me to grapple with.

thanks again!
