[jim] and i assume that fcp will seamlessly import a .motn file.
Yep, just treat the file like you would if it was a video clip or artwork or something. It will require that you render the .motn file.
[jim] are you saying you “do” encounter the problem as i have described it i.e. ragged outer edges on text characters created in motion and imported into fcp
Yes, it is usually a setting problem. Motion defaults to Normal. You can go up to View, Then change the Render Quality to Best. That will sharpen up all of your text. This will make Motion run sluggish so don’t do it until your done or for previewing purposes. It and more is all covered in that article David attached in his post. I hope this answers your question, if not, let us know and we will get your text looking great. Best of Luck.
