Strange issue with ‘title crawl’ text generator
When adding text using the title crawl text generator, all the text appears jagged and noticable interlaced. In short it looks awful and produces video of a less than satidfactory standard. This doesn’t happen with the other text generators, e.g. Lower 3rd. I have mangaged to find a workaround by putting a deinterlace filter on it, but surely this is not best practice? Why is the the title crawl behaving like this – or am I alone here?
BTW I am using it to create a ticker tape that scroll along the bottom of my video.
Many thanks you guys,
Dan B

Text tools seem flunky in FCP. I always use photoshop or after effects for title work and import into the sequence. I tried to reproduce what you were saying and it looks clean on my end. However, jaggy edges do appear if text is repositioned in the y-axis. The workaraound there is to set the text on a whole number, rather than one with a decimal behind it. This is assuming your sequence settings have a field dominance to them. Does that help at all?

It’s also a common practice where I work to make sure the text is on an “even” whole number (in the motion tab – both X and Y axis). When doing this, I’ve had no problems with crawls – except for the rendering times but that’s a different issue in itself.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think it may have been a rendering issue.
