    Make sure you turn on the ‘use high quality’ flag in your quicktime prefs.

    I have same problem. I stopped using Lifetipe for text generation. Just use plagin in FCP then text will look sharp.

    [Sachin Desai] “‘ve sequence of DV PAL”

    DV is HORRIBLE for preserving text and graphics quality.

    [Sachin Desai] “ext are from FCP text generator”

    The txt generator in FCP is also not the greatest look into Boris.

    Many posts on this forum have been about finishing your timeline in an Uncompressed or ProRes sequence if you start with DV footage to preserve the text in the final render and also to render the graded footage in 10 bit.

    It is a matter of copy pasting the final into a sequence set to 10 bit Uncompressed or ProRes 422. Note that DV is lower field so check that the shift fields filter is correctly applied to each shot. If you have slo mo shots, then bake them in the final DV sequence before copying across, by making a quicktime movie of each slo mo (Export>Quicktime Movie>current settings (with video only selected).

    DV PAL is the problem. Especially if text is a fine font or small font size.
