    Posted by Amanda Kraus on February 26, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    Hey there! Hoping somebody can help…having trouble with Final Cut when it comes to text with motion(as in scrolling, crawl) tried both FCP scroll text and Boris and the scroll looks find until it is rendered then it just looks horrible – tons of jitter – almost dancing on the screen – tried everything I could think off – this is a new problem for us, even tried creating the scroll in Motion, and AE and looks great till rendered in Final Cut – almost as if a codec has gone bad, went as far as to run the scroll of the a cg and do a live capture – and once again looks fine – until rendered in FCP — anyone have any ideas – come across this problem??? For now – I have thrown a de-interlace filter on it – but it still is just barely passing the acceptable standard.

    Thank you in advance for your help – any help is welcome!

    – Amanda

    Can you give us details on your sequence settings?

    How does it look with your Canvas zoomed to precisely 100%?

    Sure – thank you so much for responding –

    my seq. settings are:

    NTSC DV 3:2
    Pixel Aspect Ratio – NTSC-CCIR 601 DV 720X480
    Lower Fields
    29.97
    DVCPRO50-NTSC
    Scan Mode – Interlaced/4:3

    But I did a test – with the different seq. settings before I turned to the forums – and it still looked bad – I know it has never been perfect (the scroll text), but this is beyond that – something is truly not working right – most of the time it is user error – but this – I am not sure 🙂 I have ruled out my own loss of brain power – at least when it comes to this 🙂

    Hey – it looks bad on the canvas but only after it has been rendered – as well as bad on the monitor…I am ready to pull my hair out 🙂 I have used this feature more times than I can count – something has gone wrong on all our edit bays at work…any ideas – the more Final Cut brain power the better!

    Thank you – Amanda
