jagged edges on fonts

[Danny Perez-triana]

well that would make sense. don’t know why there’s a difference between the two? one’s a tool? one’s an effect?

i tried that but it still looks the same.
when you select that tool, it creates it’s own layer with its own transform properties, but no tweaking the draft mode makes it look any better.

i’m still stuck on this one. thinking i might have it laid out in photoshop where it can be properly aliased and such (or anti, etc.) and then lay it in in either AE or FC, but then worry that compressing it in there as a still (jpeg) will result in the same jagged edges?

still stuck,

big fat huh,

The Text Tool works with vector while Basic Text is a rater effect.

I suggest that you check AE’s Help to get you started quickly with the Text Tool. I still can’t view your PNG – all I see is a strange-looking, incomplete URL.

Roland, that link is a local link to a file on his computer’s desktop which, obviously we can’t access (not without tracing his ip address and hacking him, of course).
Ignacio, try using the image upload feature here at the COW (there’s a button right above the text box you type your replies in.)
