Erin, I’m afraid not. In the end I gave up and used bullet lines timed to VO. Normal text worked fine. Not so elegant, but life is too short.

Yes I use a drop shadow. Lines are simply missing text image on single scan line.
This does not show up on my playback CRT monitor or the FCP editing screen. A grab would not show it.
As it’s Arial, there are no serifs.
Believe it is posssibly due to suppressing interpolation through the flicker filter. But if filter not used then text flickers on output. Is this normal for FCP?Many thanks for thoughts so far.

Many thanks for the clarification.

Many thanks for your advice, it’s been a great help.
I’ve looked at the kit involved and it all looks reasonably cost effective. Olof, Lacie Bluray looks good, and would be nice to reduce the physical size of our archive. Also like the idea of library database search. Sounds interesting.I’m less sure I understand the workflow surrounding DVCAM archive and master. I hope you’ll forgive me if I misunderstood. Did you suggest creating the DVCAM archive from the FCP timeline and then re-ingesting clips from the archive for edit? Matrox MXO2 looks attractive, but you mention component I/O. I currently use an M15e HDV/DVCAM recorder player, would this have to be replaced? Then,is it best to down convert first and edit in SD or edit in HD and down convert afterwards?
Many thanks too Craig. I’m reassured to find you’ve had good experience with SDHC cards. Incidentally, which ones? Your advice about where to spend the money saved on cards is spot-on.
You’re right about DVCAM. But as a professional yourself, you know we don’t always get to vote.
