  • Timeline Text losing Resolution

    Posted by Catherine R on March 7, 2006 at 3:19 pm

    Whenever i drag my text from the text window to the timeline the text loses its resolution.

    it goes from being crisp and clean to a low res pixelatted mess. it didn’t used to do this and i can’t for the life of me understand why it thinks i would want it to be so low res.

    i have changed the timeline setting from RT to safe RT and back again to no avail.

    has anybody else had this problem?

    any help appreciated

    [Catherine R] “has anybody else had this problem?”

    Catherine, this is a very common problem for people who don’t have a proper monitor set up for FCP. Look at the toolbar on the left side of your browser window. Click the “search posts” button below the cow’s head & search this forum for terms like ‘pixelated text’, ‘text pixelated’, and ‘video monitor’. You’ll find a vast wealth of postings just like yours.

    You need to connect a video monitor to your FCP system & judge the quality of your graphics on that monitor, not your computer monitor. Please consult your FCP manual to see how to connect the monitor (and speakers!) to your camcorder, video deck or capture card.
