Motion Graphics Resolution
I have been having trouble making my motion graphics keep a high resolution. They always seem to be grainy, and lose their crispness when I bring them into Final Cut Pro.
Does anyone have a recommended workflow on how to get the best high resolution graphics. When I mean graphics, I am simply speaking of text on screen, and something along the lines of lower thirds. My workflow has been mainly building text and the motion of the text in Motion and then exporting into Final Cut Pro.
I also have photoshop and after effects and didn’t know if I should make my text and graphics in Photoshop and then export into Motion to add motion? Or can I get high resolution text by simply building it in Motion.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Most of my Final Cut Pro projects or not in HD, but I still think the graphics should look good over the video, which was been very hard for me to maintain.

Yes I do understand that (I found that out awhile ago when freaking about a project and the graphics); however, most of the videos that I make are being viewed over the internet and/or just over a computer. I just feel for some reason I am not getting the most crisp and clean graphics that I can get. Especially when it comes to just putting some simple motion text on the screen.
Watching other videos on the web i.e. company promotional videos or what not. The graphics and text seem to pop more and look clean.
I just want to make sure I am getting the most out of my software, and want to make sure there isn’t something that I am missing.

When exporting out the video from Motion make sure it is set to Best. Motion defaults to Normal. That will sharpen up your text if it is not sharp.
