    Hope someone can help!

    Iam curently using final Cut Pro HD and Iam working with a DVCPRO50 – PAL Sequence, I export it as a Quicktime Movie or Send it from the Timeline to Motion, I make my titles up, some just fadeing up and some moving across the screen. I then Export from Motion as a Quiktime Movie DVCPRO50 – PAL. Then I import into Final Cut, and the Titles dont look Sharp and a bit shakey! And when I export to DVD they still look as bad. I have viewed the Output on Plasmas,LCD etc I just Cant seem to get clean titles. I made up a title in Adobe Photoshop using a Resolution of about 300 just as a test and that looks really sharp in Final Cut and on the Output. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Try exporting as uncompressed out of Motion, then import into FCP.

    Andrew, I’m not an expert in Motion yet, but I’ve seen somewhere a suggestion to output your titles from Motion as a self–contained QuickTime movie and then import that movie in FCP. You might want to give it a try.
