  • blue font on black BG – bad m2v – fix?

    Posted by Kent Beeson on June 22, 2009 at 5:19 pm

    Hi

    Been trying to get this font (Trajon Pro bold) to look decent, see link – https://web.me.com/kbcv/VideoWork/test.html

    How can I get this to look professional? My timeline is Apple Pro Res, text is from LiveType no movement, static, I then export to QT, same settings as my FCP 6 timeline, then take that QT file into Compressor, make it a mpeg 2 for DVD as you’ll see my Compressor settings on link.

    I know the font is slightly thin, but it looks acceptable over video, just not black BG…how can I make this work? I took drop shadow off over black, doesn’t seem to make a diff either way…

    Thanks

    In addition to Dave’s suggestion, try with Frame Controls off, or change the quality settings there to best.
