Format for Bringing in a logo / super
First — a tip of the hat to the CC community who helped me out of an annoyong snag a few weeks back. THANKS A TON
My graphic artist has given me some logos to superimpose over video. FCP can’t read them in eps format so I converted them to tiff’s. But they don’t work well with the video (they get blocky and pixelized) and also they shift when they are against a white background — which is distracting. I have PS and can convert them however but how do I do it so that they stay crisp and clean and get along with the video.?

What are the settings of your timeline? If it is DV codec, then that may be the problem as it is poor on graphics and makes text blocky.

Settings are HD 1440×1080 (16:9)
Apple Intermediate codec

AIC is not a good codec. Try a ProRes 422 sequence and copy over footage for a test including the tif. Render and see if that helps
AIC is an old legacy codec and best avoided.

Thanks a mil. Will use 422 from now on.
I converted to an RGB PNG file and it looks a million times better
Thanks Mike

PNG was going to be the next suggestion. Happy to help
