I guess I’m glad it’s not just me…
But, yes, hopefully they will address the problems soon.

I am having better results with using PSD titles rather than the PP built-in titler. Extra steps, but better look.

Thank you for the kind words!

So, just exported a version with the titles created in Photoshop. Everything is nice and crisp. So it appears the internal titler just doesn’t make text as sharp as I would have hoped.

Maybe there’s still something I’ve missed… I’ll have to keep playing with settings.

Internal titler. No scaling, no movement, just a fade up and down.

I’m trying a pass with the titles created in Photoshop to see if there’s any difference. I did have a jpg graphic that had some text in it that looked fine – actually how I could tell my internal titler text was soft.

thanks for your help

Sorry, forgot to include my specs.

Running on a 4 yr old MacBook Pro. So, no CUDA, just a good old NVIDIA GeForce 8600M. So just using the software only Mercury Playback

I did render at Maximum Bit Rate. Helped a little, but still fuzzy. Just made the export time dramatically longer!

Yep, something hinky in the original PSDs. Even doing a Save As didn’t help. I had to create a new document and move all the layers into it. The newly saved file works just fine in DVDSP. Weird.

Thanks for you help Noah. Much appreciated.

Nope. Creating a Layered Menu in DVDSP.

Discovered one odd thing – even before adding the Photoshop file into any menu, the inspector says it’s a Quicktime Picture rather than a Photoshop file. Any ideas why that would be?

These are graphics that someone else created, but I don’t see anything in them that looks different from any other PSD.
