Using text in film, seems degraded
First of all thank you guys for any help you may offer I appreciate it sincerely.
I am a photographer that is now beginning to work with film/video using APP, please understand that I am doing my best but some things still seem hard one thing in particular is using text for subtitles in the screen as after I have rendered the selection and converted it as an avi file and view it, the test seems very poor (not really sharp even the picture seems wishy washy in comparison to the footage shot???
Am I doing something wrong? Should I be saving it in another format?
The documentary is may first to date I have shot over 10 hours of video for a 30 minute slot, I have been selecting the best pieces for the final edit and most of them rendering into AVI into a folder called selected cuts, I am ready to do the final edit but am really unhappy with the apparent quality of the text and also the video.It was all shot with a Canon XH-A1,
DV-NTSC,
48Khz,
Widescreen,
29.97fpsAny help much appreciated

I have been a member of creative cow for around 8 months I know I don’t get as much time as I’d like to read all the help files but I do try, I also always browse for my answers rather than take up good peoples time, but this stumps me all I can think of is that I start a new project and double the resolution and then work on the text and later bring it into the work in progress for subtitles and pray it works, I am only an amateur hear but I am trying anyone can offer me a better way and I’d really appreciate it other than that I guess I will have to just keep trying.
Thanks all the same guys.

Have you been deinterlacing when exporting to AVI? That will remove half your picture lines, making it look shite.
– I hope you haven’t deinterlaced all your footage, because you’ll have to go back and use the original from the camera again.

Another question is : what kind of AVI file are you rendering to? AVIs come in all kinds of flavors.

Jon & Jeff, Thank you so much for answering my request for help, I am at my wits end trying to work this out,
I amunsure what you mean when you say did I interlace it when sending it to an exported *.avi file? I dont think so I only exported the flatened copy as an *.avi once I had rendered it.
in the export options it gives you the choice to export as Movie/Frame or Audio I chose movie and it automatically saves it as an avi but just that?am I making a mistake some where,
Thanks Hugh

Check that the settings in the Movie Export>Settings>Keyframe and Rendering don’t have the Deinterlace Video Footage tick. Untick this box! Make sure the DV AVI is that same format as the format you are working in. NTSC/PAL/24P.

You also export using Adobe Media Encoder.How many editors does it take to change a light bulb?
