Motion text looks like crap in FCP
This is an 8 bit uncompressed NTSC project. When I bring in Motion projects (whether they are animated or not) the text looks like crap (jagged edges, crawling on the animated ones). Some setting I’m missing?

normally this is an issue of viewing the text on your cinema display. Have you taken a look at them on an external NTSC monitor?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I’m viewing a fully rendered timeline on a Panasonic BT-LH2600W via Kona component output. The fonts aren’t thin and wimpy either–we’re talking Arial Black here.

is it FULLY rendered or are you watching the preview?

Does positioning the titles at an even integer apply in this case?
It solves a lot of problem when using the built-in Boris titler…Ron

[overeasy] “Does positioning the titles at an even integer apply in this case?

What are your Motion project settings? Do they match FCP sequence?

I do not know if this applies to Motion but FCP does not interpret the Alpha channel right. Perhaps you have to switch it to Strait instead of Black or the other way around.

I just double checked the render settings. It is fully rendered.

Just double checked that. It is set to high.
