How to avoid fuzzy/ugly lines on text/credits ?

[Walter Biscardi]

Are you editing in an uncompressed timeline?

Do you have the Video Processing set to “Best?”

Those are two ways to enahance your credits.

Also, on the web, everything is progressive so the credits will always look better in progressive than interlaced.

Make sure the “center” of your fonts are on even & whole numbers.

In the viewer window/motion tab, check your “center” settings. If they are not whole and even numbers, make them such and it may fix your problem.
example 11.67 is not a whole & even number, but 12 is.

I have run into the same thing with nested compositions, weird but true!

Especially the vertical setting, which I think is the second number. The horizontal is not so important, but vertical is very important.

Another tip, use the Boris 3D Text tool and not the FCP Text Tool. It’s a vector based tool and gives much cleaner results.

Avoid moving around the wireframes to place text. Use the point controls in the Controls Tab, not Center in the Motion Tab or the wireframe.
Use Title 3D.
Don’t use pure white. Take down brightness to less than 90.
Avoid a solid black background.
