slightly pixelated graphics
Hello,
I’m finally to the point where I can’t settle for just slightly pixelated graphics. I am searching for answers.
I have been editing for quite awhile and it hasn’t been a huge problem, but with HD video bad graphics stand out. I normally use Motion for text and effects and Photoshop for graphics or logos. I have exported from Motion using various settings (animation, xdcam, Apple Pro Res 422, uncompressed) and I usually try to match my timeline settings, but this doesn’t seem to solve anything. Is there a standard that I’m missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
*My timeline is usually AppleProRes422HQ, XDCam1080p30, and occasionally uncompressed

Hi Scott,
Did you ever solve this issue? I’m in the same boat. No more slightly pixelated text! It looks great in Motion, even on my broadcast monitor, then slightly pixelated in FCP, no matter what settings.
What gives?

I’ve also been struggling with this. When exporting HD footage for the web it’s really noticeable. I’d thought I must be doing something incorrectly, but the more I poke around in these forums the more I think Final Cut (at least 7) just can’t export graphical text elements that are up to my standards. An editor friend of mine who uses Premiere just exported a project using one of the same Motion files as me and it looks fantastic. Is there something I’m missing or is Final Cut just falling short?
