Titles created with title tool not crisp
I am working on MC 2.8 and my project is 1:1 mxf. I have using title tool to created titles and no matter what I do, they are still not crisp. I am rendering 1:1 so that is not the problem. I have even tried to recreate with Photoshop CS2, and it is still not crisp. What am I doing wrong? I don’t have time to recreate all my titles in another program. I want to be able to use Avid title tool. Anyone????

Are you in Green/Green mode?
-
Yes I am.

Are you applying any sort of DVE/Resize to the title? That will do it every time. Try making the title bigger than you need it to be and then sizing it down to the desired size.
-
I have tried that and there is no difference. Is there something wrong with my settings? I have tried a drop shadow to make the edges more clean, still same result.

What type of monitor are you watching this on? Are you looking at the native resolution? If any scaling is involved (either on screen or through a monitor, that might seriously interfere.
-
My monitor is a plasma Samsung SyncMaster 226bw and a Sony plasma Bravia 26″. Looks bad on both. I am not using any resizing, scaling, DVE effect. It was created in the proper size.

Those are not plasma, but TFT and LCD.
The 226 is a 1680×1050 monitor. Is your graphics card set to that resolution? It needs to feed the 226 monitor its native resolution, or else you’ll be seeing softness and other scaling issues.
Another thing: does the same happen with other fonts?
If you export a still file at the native resolution you are working on, are you seeing the same issue on that exported still? Can you export a still and post it, so we can get a better idea of what it looks like? -
Are your titles soft when playing or just when you you’re parked on a frame? If they’re soft only when stationary then there’s probably no problem… you’re just viewing a single field.

It is soft on everything I view on. I have burned this project to a DVD and it is the same. This is for a client and I just need to know how to fix it.

Does it do this with all fonts or just this one?
Does it do this with other colors than red?Red is the worst possible choice for text…its notorious for bleeding.
Is this SD or HD? What aspect? Is it a 4:3 title being used in a 16:9 sequence?
Have you tried the “Recreate title media” command? Make sure you have selected 1:1 for your resolution.
