Both FCP and AE should give you smooth letters. The jagged edges you see are likely the result of a rough render or scaling.
Look at your footage at 100% in the viewer window and see if the edges are still jagged. If they aren’t you’re fine.
If they are, perhaps your footage isn’t fully rendered. Go to Sequence: Render All: Video.

Hello Laurie,
If you want to take advantage of Facebook’s new HD streaming, your video should be quicktime 1280×720. A data rate around 6000 Kbps seems to work fine.

The spaces between the hairs were not keyed out, and were white, which is why I assumed white background. I’m not familiar with keying 4:4:4 footage, but I know on my XDCAM those spaces would have been green. I suppose its possible the green was replaced with white.
Green screen is probably the best solution then.

It looks like this particular video was done on a white screen. Look at the woman’s hair at 0:46 as she passes in front of the people behind her.
It can definitely be done either way. Hand drawn mattes or rotoscoping will probably be necessary if you use a white screen. Lots of green fringing and spill will be visible against white if the green screen isn’t perfectly lit and keyed.
On a budget, I personally would attempt this against a white screen first. Definitely test and research lighting before doing the real thing.

I got everything figured out and it works. Thanks for your help!

I don’t see a clear way of exporting a MP4 with Final Cut’s “Export: Sony XDCAM” option. I always get an MXF when using it.
Final Cut can export to MP4 using the”Export: Quicktime Conversion: MPEG-4″ option but this isn’t XDCAM format and the resulting file doesn’t import into Clip Browser

Edit: Looks like I have an outdated version of XDCAM Transfer. I’ll try again after updating.
