exporting animated text from AE7 to FCP
I’m having trouble exporting animated text from AE7 into FCP. When I import in FCP and render, the text looks “blocky” or interlaced, and not smooth. I need help on which codec to use for the exporting, so that the text looks smooth upon rendering in FCP. Please help!

I’m having this exact same problem (although I see that this post is over a year old). I’m using AE 7 and FCP Studio 6. Rendering the AE files with Animation codec set on best quality, and yet the text still looks interlaced, even after I render it in FCP. Any ideas?

I have been having this argument with my boss for a long time now – he doesn’t want to pay for a video monitor and expects us to magically be able to create professional video without all of the necessary instruments. So no, I do not have an NTSC monitor, however, I burnt a test DVD (through Compressor) and viewed that on a normal television, and the text was jagged.
That being said, I did do some more research through the FCP forums, and found some tips that seem to work effectively (although I’m still looking at a computer monitor). Thank you for your response, and I’ll be sure to forward it to my boss as well.
Cheers!

Having a very similar issue, just using Motion rather than AE. Could you post link to the forums you found help on, I’ve been searching for a while now!
(I’m currently waiting on getting a video monitor too, this whole jagged edges thing is a pain.)
Thanks

The above link talks about compressor settings that might (I’m not sure, I don’t really use Motion) apply. Also, I’ve found that using the Flicker Filter can help make text edges smoother. Effects>Video Filters> Video> Flicker Filter. There’s not much tweaking that you can do, just choose between minimum and maximum.Hope this helps!
