im working on some simple movie titles for a friend.
typography is white on a black background. Using Illustrator to make the type. The movie is being edited in Final Cut.
I've tried exporting the title screens all different ways but the final ends up looking either bitmapped or fuzzy, I can't seem to get it looking sharp.
any tips?
I've tried increasing size, stroke weights, ect...
thanks

you hi-res rendered it first and checked out a preview?

well you did it in vector but at some point rendered it out as a bitmap?

make your titles in after fx

I followed this tutorial at first, but still not great. Because I think eventually it has to be a bitmap...
yeah, I am guessing After Effects will have to do it.

Sometimes with black and white elements ( especially with type and thin lines) stuff can 'zing' a bit.
My tip is to put a 0.5 gaussian blur (select 'vertical only' option in the blur), this tends to work.
If it still 'zings' you can use more blur but obviously dont take it too far.
Hope it works out for you

yeah, tried the motion blur trick. It was the best of everythin I tried, but still not crisp.
thanks...

Is your stuff just still images that are being imported?

Work in the same aspect ratio?

Also, make sure when you render out of Final Cut, Set your codec settings to animation or none, NTSC interlace may be your problem.
