  • Change Frame Size for Text- any group function?

    Posted by Don Smith on June 15, 2007 at 12:01 am

    I have a project that is mostly text with about 175 individual text events, some using up to 15 tracks. When I rendered it as a .wmv file to play on a Video CD-R the text look pretty good. However when I render to a DVDA MPEG2 file to play on a TV, the text loses clarity and gets a bit fuzzy. It was suggested that I increase the frame size on each text event. When I tried a little test, it did seem to increase the clarity fairly significantly. But….do I have to go through each text event and change the frame size individually, or is there some cool way I can change the frame size with all 175 someway? Or is there something else I can do to increase the text clarity for a DVD to play on a TV?

    Without seeing your text it is hard to offer suggestions. Depending on
    the background, outline and/or drop shadow can make a significant difference in clarity. Also, some fonts are just more readable than others as well as certain color combinations. Maybe you could post a framegrab of text from your timeline.
