text in final cut
i’m working in uncompress 10bit, when i render a text effect it seems to loose a lot of quality. Why? (my render resolution is at %100)

Are you judging the quality on an external video monitor? If not, try that… the Canvas only shows a proxy of the actual resolution you are working with.

also I’d make sure in your render settings everything is checked including “full”
-
And finally, if you’re doing any scaling/repositioning of the text, use the Boris Title 3D text tool.

And a littel more finally- only scale or position text using the Controls tab, not the Motion tab.

And a little more finally than that – make sure your text X,Y position is at an EVEN and WHOLE integer. If its at 293.65, 95.3…round up to 294, 96. Make sense?

This is not an issue in Title 3D, only in the FCP text generator.

Not so for me. All I use for static titles is the Title 3D tool, and I can assure you, its an issue! Maybe it got cleared up in the 5.1.4 update and I never heard about it, but Im at 5.1.2 and its there. In fact, its been an issue, for me at least, since FCP 4. And its not a huge deal, I just make X,Y even and whole and move on. Just part of the routine…

the problem is with lcd monitors, when i render the text effect it looses a lot of quality, but watchin it in a tube monitor it looks fine
(sorry for my bad english) -
Then that’s a monitoring issue, not a problem with the text.
Your external CRT shows The Truth about any interlaced video signal. Anything you see on an LCD – within FCP or not – has been compromised in one or more ways to show it to you.
If your distribution will be on LCDs (i.e. web video), then you need to work on best conversion techniques for that output only. If it will be via both traditional TV and web video, then you will have different outputs for each.
