Carlos, I always use the Internet 1280×720-30p preset and I think my videos look pretty good if I do say so 🙂

My guess is that you accidentally clicked the Split Screen View button (just above the Preview window).
BTW, brightness and contrast are never recommended as they affect the entire image. Use either the Color Curves or Levels FX (sometimes both) instead. -
WMV is what’s called a delivery format, not an editing format so you face problems before you even get started.
It’s like expecting an mp3 to be as good as the original WAV file. It’s just not going to happen no matter what you do.
Your client needs to understand that there will be a quality loss and that there is nothing you can do about it no matter what tools you use.
You can play around using Color Curves and/or Levels to get the output to match the source.
For sharpness, try a light Unsharp Mask FX.
Once again, nothing you do is going to be as good as the original so don;t beat yourself up over it.
If the client expects perfection (they all do!!), then they need to provide you with the original video files and not an edited version. -
You’re very welcome Nick. I’m glad I could help.
Happy editing!! -
Timeline Tools (it’s free and is a great app) can do this too.

John Rofrano has a great tutorial that shows you exactly what you need to do.

Nick, see my response in your other thread.

Nick, sorry for the delay but things have have really crazy at work lately and I haven’t had a chance to respond.
Yes, I do have Pro but, according to what Jorma said in your other post on this issue, text behaves the same way in Movie Studio.
What you’re looking for is Text or Legacy Text option in the Media Generators tab.
Once you find it, drag the highlighted one (Default Text) down to your timeline and you will see the following tabs. Then proceed as I described earlier.

That’s very strange.
Please post a screenshot of your render window so that we can see exactly what you’re talking about. -
See if this technique/trick works for you.
Place a text media on the timeline.
Set it to the length you want, set the text size to 20 (this is just a starting point so feel free to adjust it later as needed).
Copy and paste all your text into the one screen.
Switch to the Placement tab.
Adjust the Y value to a positive value high enough that the text just disappears off the bottom of the screen.
This will automatically create a keyframe at the beginning.
At the bottom of this timeline, hit the Last Keyframe button and change the Y value to a negative number.
i.e. if the beginning was +4, the end is -4.
Adjust your font colours, drop shadow, etc. as desired.
Close the window and play it.
That’s all there is to it.
