  • Rendering Is Making Text & Imported Image Look Worse

    Posted by Robert Beaucage on February 6, 2008 at 11:14 pm

    I’ve imported a photoshop element to a sequence, and it looks fine until I render it. Even the text, which I did internally with FCP, looks worse after being rendered, although not as bad as the image. I’m rendering at Hi Res, with all the boxes checked except for Draft Render and Play Base Layer Only. I’ve tried importing the image as a .psd and a .png with the same results.

    This is a screenshot of what it looks like before I render it:

    This is what it looks like after I render it:

    I feel silly asking this, but rendering an image shouldn’t make the image look horrible, right? Is there a simple solution to this that I’m missing?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Check the Position of the elements and ensure that they are on EVEN numbers that do not have any decimals for both the X and Y axis.

    Can’t remember the reason this happens but it has something to do with pixels being placed on the wrong lines or something like that.

    The only thing I did in terms of positioning was to set the scale at 60 and the vertical centering at -50:

    But even when I don’t do any positioning at all, I have the same problem.
