Pixelated text in FCP 7 timeline using FCP Lower 3rd text tool
Working in Final Cut Pro 7
I am working in a timeline where I have converted to 4:3 from 3:2. This project is using both DV and mini DV footage.
(Final Cut Changed the timeline to 3:2 when I put the DV video in the timeline.)All of my Lower 3rds are pixelated. I created these lower thirds in FCP. At first I thought it was because I had cut and pasted from another timeline. But, even if I create a new lower third in this timeline, it is still pixelated. It looks great BEFORE it is rendered and then after it is rendered, bad.
While I understand the basic premise of why it is happening. I need to know how to fix it ASAP please. Thank you

This is a standard problem in DV timelines. Copy the final sequence into a new sequence set to ProRes 422 and then render. Everything, particularly graphics and text will look as sharp as SD can.
