Thanks john and Jerry too. Ahh, John, you asked about fractions of the numbers and there may be a problem there, especially when I scroll and zoom in or out of the text. I’m going to test scroll with whole numbers, but even if that works I’ll be stuck with the “shaky” zooming problem. I’ve tried everything I can think of like importing the scanned text as TIFF and PiCT instead of JPEG, and even changing the codec in FCP to non compressed sequence. I must have tried more but by now I’m
‘desperately confused”. The ONLY thing that seems to work is blurring the immage in the Effects pannel. Btw, the font itself is okay, not too thin or “artsy”.
