[MacDV] Twitchy Titles Twice Told

[Tim Beaton]

Have a look at this page:-
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/perfect_titles_phil.html
some good ideas for improving titling in DV. The major problem isn't so much
FCP as the DV 4:1:1 (ntsc) or 4:2:0 sampling (PAL), with some "help" from
the codec itself. Try Phillips ideas, they worked pretty well for me!

Hi, list.

A friend is having problems in both iMovie and FCP trying to get decent
titles. He's using a simple, non-serif font, and the dang thing looks
pixelated, perhaps anti-aliased to me. i.e., it looks blockish, and some of
the pixels seem darker than others. The overall effect is similar to what
you'd find if you zoomed in to, say, 400% on a small anti-aliased,
rasterized bit of text in Photoshop. Is this a known titling issue in BOTH
these programs? Any workarounds?

Thanks,
B
