Text Quality Bad in Final Cut
Hi all,
I am cutting my motion graphics reel in final cut coming from After Effects. The clips look fine in the preview monitor, but once thy are in the tiemline, and all other steps afterward, it looks crappy. Text and graphic elements look aliased and jagged.
I have tried all the suggested settings, setup, and prefs. I have no ideas at this point. Any help would be great.
Cheers

David–
Are you evaluating this quality on the computer monitor or an external video monitor?
The canvas gives you about 1/4 resolution. The real resolution will be on the external monitor.
If you don’t have an external monitor, connect one up. Even a TV will do in a pinch.
If you have an external monitor, try looking at the Render & Playback Settings and make sure they are all set to highest quality. They’re in User or System Preferences. I’m rendering and can’t get to them now.
Post back if that doesn’t help!

Also, try to make sure that your title positions (and I think sizes as well) are set at even increments. Especially avoid vertical placement that has stuff like 21.27

Guys,
He’s already done his text in AE. Make sure you check it in a video monitor. Make sure you are in Safe RT and High Quality/Full Frame Rate.Also avoid the DV Codec. If you can at least go for DVCPro 50. A huge difference in quality.

Look at the “settings” and field order…I have seen bad graphics with “lower field first’…and when it’ set to “none” it looks a whole lot better!
