An alternate version is to mask or wipe the blur over the section.
“Oh, you wanted to RECORD that?”

November 22, 2008 at 3:40 amI’m having trouble being patient while using dial-up for this from home… also, this sample still is not done in FCP, just some cheap freeware image editor, but it should give a little bit of an idea of how keying the white letters will lead to more of a glass letter look. You could also just key them individually to the nearest correct color pixel as well, you still get the type there but less noticeable.. one more try to upload this tonight, my daughter is antsy to get back on Runescape (grin).

November 22, 2008 at 5:41 amYou can see its still going to be there, but here’s the thing: my view is, a single blur applied over the whole area is way more distracting than using composite mode/luma key cropped to just work on that zone, and just tinting the characters black or to whatever color surrounds them, or to the glass effect. Limiting the repair to just the actual white pixels preserves the little bits of clean video all around the letters and numbers, and it breaks it up more than a bar or wipe box would.
