Scrolling text blurry
Hi All,
I am doing titling for numerous nation spots, many of them also desire scrolling text. I currently use a generated text block, set a specific length of time, and then use key frames to have it move across the screen. Works pretty well, except my clients and I see the text is a bit blurry. I tried different fonts, adding and removing “reduce interlace flicker,” and there is still blurriness. I have also tried doubling the size of the text block (1440×960 instead of 720×480) and it seems better. But I still an a little concerned.
What is the best way to do scrolling text (other than this) and how can I keep it from being blurry?
I am using NTSC IMX 720×486 project settings(pulling in from Beta SP via Intensity Pro)
Rendering to that preset and in “Best”
I rendering to different formats depending on station requirements, but often use these
NTSC 720×480 DV
NTSC 720×480 MPEG 2
NTSC 720×486 3M MOVThe footage is 4:3 but with widescreen inside of it…Beta SP doesn’t do widescreen
Thanks for all your input in advance!
Regards

I believe you have already found it. By increasing the size of the text block thing you are increasing the resolution and sharpening the pixels. That’s why we have anamorphic lenses: they take a bigger, stretched picture that can then be squashed and scaled down with much better resolution.

I would also try upping the bitrate of the files your rendering.

you can also set the text block to double resolution and size accordingly. It’ll be sharper.

I believe he already did that! I think that’s probably the only way though.

Linda, change the numbers in the Frame Size box at the top left of Generated Media.
