Yeah, I always put the clip on top, but that doesn’t help. I even tried matte luma with no change.

The only thing I can think of is that someone gave the text as a picture, so maybe there was some color effect that has made the matte weird.

I added the extract effect to the picture, and that actually made it almost perfect. It was a weird few hours before I found that though.

I was originally going to use Motion 3, but lately, every time I bring a clip into it and add behaviors or filters it just freezes or crashes.

I guess it was really that FCP was being iffy with me. It suddenly started working today (the computer was on all night though). It actually came out pretty good.

Thanks for the help.
