Help importing logo from Illustrator to Final Cut Pro
I am mostly a print designer, and I need to improt a graphic created in Illustrator to Final Cut pro for 720×480, whenever I do it, the quality gets very bad. What is the best way to do this and maintain quality???
Thanks

what are your sequence settings it it is DV then most graphics you put on it will look bad.

Scale the vector image in Illustrator to 720 wide, then import. Or if you have After Effects, import it into AE, then export the timeline as Lossless with an alpha channel.

“Scale the vector image in Illustrator to 720 wide, then import. Or if you have After Effects, import it into AE, then export the timeline as Lossless with an alpha channel.”
that still wont make it look good if he is trying to put it on a DV timeline, graphics never look good on a DV timeline.

Why not just export the file as a .PDF w/ transparency in illustrator, place it into FCP.
works just fine and maintains the vector info correctly.

The original poster never said how the sequence is set, but if you are having trouble with graphics in a DV timeline, finish the picture edit in the dv timeline, then export it as a self-contained movie, re-import it and place it in an uncompressed timeline and add your graphics there.

Hi Gary,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn’t work. First of all there is no PDF export in Illustrator CS3. So I save as PDF, but can’t find with transparency setting. There is no “place” in FCP. So I Import the PDF. And it’s raster.
help.
