text won’t render!!!
I am working on a DV timeline with DV footage. I’m cutting a movie trailer and when I drop footage on the timeline, it looks great on my canvas and on my NTSC monitor that I am routing video to.
However, When I put any text on the timeline, it looks like GARBAGE, especially when I keyframe the size over time.
Any ideas why this might be happening? I have never had this problem before. It looks the exact same even after I render

This link reveals all the basics:

VERY IMPORTANT:
If you re-position graphics or any video image in FCP, make SURE the VERTICAL setting for each KEY-FRAME (start, stop or hold) is always a EVEN INTEGER (Even Whole Number). Examples: 4, not 3 / -144, not -143.27 / 336, not 335.62 / 12 not 11.
The positioning settings/info (as well as many other settings) are found under the “Motion” tab in the Viewer.
Vertical position is the number in the RIGHT window in the area called “Center” (the horizontal position is displayed in the LEFT window).I sometimes forget to check this and I can end up with images that look fuzzy when in-position.
This info applies to re-positioning anything on the Timeline: moving video, freeze-frames, internally-generated titles, and imported graphics.
It can be quite detrimental to the quality of your final output to not double-check this every time you reposition and/or re-size an image.

That didn’t seem to be the problem. I only changed the scale of the text, not the positioning. Center is at 0,0 for the entire clip of the text.
