Trouble rendering – The Biscardi Challenge

[Matt Riley]

At this p[Joe Murray] ”

It is a very simple thing and should be possible in Final Cut, but After Effects renders scrolling type much more cleanly than FCP.”

Since his type was done in Photoshop, we are really talking about moving one graphic element over the top of another (it’s not “type” any more). I agree, FCP should be able to do this but like you said AE is the better choice if it is available.

Are you rendering in fields in your FCP sequence? If so, try setting up a sequence that is frames and rendering that way. Also, splitting up the render might help quite a bit (i.e. render the moving text by itself, export the rendered piece, then import it and lay it over the background and see if that will render correctly).

Do you have motion blur enabled on the scrolling type graphic? If so, try turning it off and see if that helps. If not, try turning it on and see if THAT helps. 😉

If you have easy access to AE, I would strongly consider using that instead as you’ll probably spend less time fighting things like this.

With all the time spent figuring things out for FCP and on this forum, he could have finished it in AE in no time.
