Search the forum for jittery text, blurry text, picelated text, text in FCP sucks, etc.
The problem is almost always one of two user issues: incorrect display (progressive instead of insterlaced, or a roll speed that is a non-integer factor of 30fps.

Such inquiries often imply a less than complete understanding of how effects are handled in FCP. How many video layers are you using?

Your OP: ” The output will be for the web and maybe a DVD. ”
The answer to your inquiry about high end cards to monitor video for DVD and Web output is simply negative. You do not need anything more than a cheap ratty display to approximate DVD and Web output.
If you must know EXACTLY what your output will look like on all DVD players and all Web browsers, you would need one of every CRT and LCD and plasma ever created. That’s clearly insane.

the FCP manual includes some of the better and easier to understand information on the mechanics of video I’ve ever seen and I’ve been reading video books for 40 years.

The text or the lights? The lights looked like time exposures and not digital creations.
The text was easy enough. a little glow or blur. Simple text animation presets.bogiesan

After Effects has a clearly defined workflow for this that includes a z-space grayscale interpreter and a way to handle shadow catchers and place them into the scene accurately. Maybe in Motion 4?
