  • Rendered text looks bad

    Posted by Matthew Engelson on June 11, 2012 at 9:18 pm

    Hello there,

    So I’ve spent a great amount of time trying to figure out what Render Settings work best for my footage, and I think I have figured it out. But now, the text that I use in a project does not look very good. It has lines through it and it looks blurry. Anyone have an idea to why this is?

    Thanks for your help,

    Matt Engelson

    If your project is 720 x 480 resolution, you need to
    double the resolution of your texts (1440×960) and all
    will be ok.

    I’m assuming that this was text done in Photoshop?

    So if my Vegas project is 1440 x 1080, what size canvas should I use?

    ….The same 1440×1080 size canvas (If not doing any panning
    or such
    ). And for a bit of ease, you can save as PNG instead
    of PSD.

    How do I change the resolution of the text only?

    In your text window (Video Media Generators Window),
    at the top, far right, you will see a Media Properties Button,
    click on that and make your changes in the Frame Size and click ok.

    It seems the resolution size doesn’t make much different. I don’t know if this will help, but I am rendering to AVI and the picture is good, but the text is not. But when I render it to WMV, the picture is not as good but the text looks fine.

    might be worth checking whether the output render has interlacing switched on instead of progressive. ed

    Where do I check the interlace switch?

    What do you intend to do with your video, knowing that would
    help us recommend the best render options. Also, Does the text
    looks ok in the preview window?
