Blurry text

I have created text in FCP HD, parts are in red font, the rest are in white font. It is fully rendered, and I am viewing on a NTSC monitor. However, white font is clear and red font is blurry. Any help/guidance greatly appreciated.

Yeah, no matter what resolution you are working at, Uncompressed 10-bit, red text is always troublesome.
Try making it darker red...

  • Lumia 925 blurry text while scrolling

    Noticed that my lumia 925 has a blurry text while scrolling, specially when scrolling white text over black background or black text over white background... also noticed some blurry when scrolling tiles on the home screen, this blurry occurred around the black horizontal lines separating the tiles.... compared the scrolling with the 920 and there is a huge difference...
    I read that some of the galaxy S4 units has this problem and that this problem related to Samsung AMOLED screens, and you know the lumia 925 has a Samsung AMOLED screen.
    Any one has these issues? let me know in comments please..

    I have the same issue with L1020.
    I am extremely annoyed and disappointed at Nokia for messing up the PERFECT display of L920.
    After using L920 for months and laughing at lower quality displays of other phones, this L1020 display feels like those typical phone displays.
    Are nokia engineers so incompetent or everyone of them have vision issues that you ship a phone with such s**t quality?

  • Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

    Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
    Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.
    The Ruby script, modified for D3014 can be found at post http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3153072

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
    I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
    What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
    You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
    You can connect:
    Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
    Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
    Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
    Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

  • Responsive Scaling Blurry Text

    Hi all,
    I've been having a lot of problems with the built in responsive scaling but have found work arounds for all my issue's except one, the blurry text.  I presume it's common that people find text becomes a little blurry when responsive scaling is implemented (on certain browsers).  Is there a work around for this to prevent it from happening?  I have done a lot of searching but not found anything at all, other than a comment by adobe that it's a browser issue.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Here is the practice site i've been working on:
    COMPCADEMY - Computer Systems
    If you look at this site using Chrome for example much of the text is not crisp at all.  If you load it in Internet Explorer though it's perfect.
    Thanks

  • Fuzzy/blurry text in Captivate 7

    Hi alll,
    We recently upgraded from Captivate 6 -> 7. Usually we use transparent text boxes for text, and when publishing in Captivate 7, the text gets blurry/fuzzy, regardless of color, size, font etc. We had the same problem in an earlier version of Captivate (I think maybe it was Captivate 3), and the workaround then was to highlight at least one charachter within each text box, but this does not work in Captivate 7.
    Funny thing is that if I just drag the generated .htm file into my browser window, the text is crisp and clear, but when I run the same module from our LMS, it all gets blurry and fuzzy.
    Any help to avoid this would be very appreciated.

    Captivate text displaying blurry has been an issue since day one. I've had to deal with it and spend dozens of hours of R&D to try to figure it out... and as you see I'm still searching for an answer. It seems soooo simple but it must be extremely complex because Adobe just can't figure it out! It was the same thing in Flash. We are a global org producing e-learning for fortune 500 companies and at one point Captivate was our most used tool. Due to this issue and a bunch of others, our shop is now doing 75% of our projects in Storyline, 20% in Lectora, and we have ZERO clients asking for Captivate for the last 2 years. When a client spends tens of thousands of dollars on a project, they don't want to have to look at blurry, jagged text. I wish it wasn't this way because I am a highly experienced Cp developer now having to learn Storyline. But Adobe has either ignored this issue or just cannot fix it. In the image below, you can see the differences in the way Captivate displays text and the horrifying difference between Cp and Flash that I just don't get. That one causes a huge issue when we drop Flash stuff in a Cp slide and are required to stay consistent with font type and size.
    Keep in mind, the problem everyone is frustrated about is mainly text that uses Transparent style caption. It appears better when in a styled caption bubble. The blurry text issue can be somewhat fixed by applying a white highlight on all the text. Although, it is still not what we are looking for. And, this extra step in development is painful, costly, and there is always a few that we miss and then we get complaints, etc.
    Man, that first one is just nasty!
    One last thing I discovered that works, but not all of the time, is that if you create a dummy variable with no value, then put your text in a transparent text caption, add a few spaces at the end and then insert that variable, you will see crisp, clean text as if it was html. Again, too much work and not a consistent solution!!
    Hope that helps for those who are new to captivate, and for those like me, who have lost too many hours of precious life and money on this.
    See ya, have to continue my Storyline training now...

  • Blurry Text and Incorrectly rendered colors in 8,1

    Ok...I'm at my wits end with this lap top.  I have tried everything.  I fixed it once...for about 48 hours, and then it went right back to the way it was.  
    Problem:  My laptop (HP Envy with windows 8.1) exhibits the common blurry text problem that everyone complains about.  However, there's an additional problem with mine.  The colors are all off.  Reds show up as greens, greens show up
    as reds.  It's a mess.  I can't even watch a movie on this thing cause it looks like a different planet!
    I have downloaded all the newest latest greatest drivers for my graphics card.  I have went to the manufacturers website and searched for drivers and downloaded them.  I originally had W8.  I downloaded and installed W8.1.  No change.
     My graphics card is the AMD Catalyst.  I upgraded it.  
    When I fixed this thing the first time, I THINK the thing that did it was to go into Control Panel to uninstall programs.  My AMD catalyst, when I clicked on it gave the option to "repair".  So I hit that.  When I restarted...my
    colors and text were perfect.  For about two days.  Now it's back to it's former crappyness.  I tried that again to no avail.  
    I've tried all the "de-scaling" crap that has been suggested on various forums.  Nada.  
    Someone please help me with this.  I'm deployed overseas and my laptop is my lifeline over here.  

    Go through the step by step instructions as sited here:
    How-To Uninstall AMD Catalyst™ Drivers From A Windows® Based System
    There is also a
    standalone uninstallation utility will clean your system of any existing AMD Catalyst drivers to prepare your PC for the clean installation of a new driver version.
    Once the driver uninstalled visit AMD's website to download and install the latest compatible driver.
    Right click your desktop.
    Choose AMD Catalyst Control Center
    Locate 3D Application Settings (under gaming)
    Locate Morphological Filtering.
    Make sure it is off.

  • Printing a PDF created in Indesign results in blurry text.

    Hello All,
    I am in need of assistance.
    I have created a flyer for one of my companies products in In-design.
    When I print the project directly form In-design the print looks great and the text is nice and crisp.
    However, when I export the project to a "Press Quality" PDF, and print it the text comes our blurry and "dirty"
    I have been trying to fix this for 2 days now with no luck.
    I have tried multiple different setting during the export to PDF form In-design, all resulting in the same issue.
    What is strange is when I print the PDF in black and white the text look just as good as if it were printed directly from In-design in colour.
    I looked around online and found allot of posts regarding this issue but no definitive results.
    I have also checked the colour of the text and it is 100%K.

    What color is the text?
    Can you show some screen shots?

  • 2nd display - blurry text

    I'm trying to configure my HDTV (CRT 720p/1080i) as a second display, mostly for use with Front Row and XBMC for OSX. I'm using a DVI-to-HDMI cable as a connector and upon the first use, Leopard decided upon the appropriate resolution for the TV (1920x1080).
    It's working pretty well, but all the text is moderately-to-very blurry. I've noticed that it's the case in almost all resolution settings, though it's slightly better when I select a "stretched" resolution.
    Any ideas on sharpening up that text?
    Please and thanks.

    Hi Mickey
    Same here my 27" flat screen TV is great for frontrow, videos, slideshows etc. Not so good as a second display to work in, see Tip way down at the bottom of the "Mini-DVI video out port" article below:

  • Blurry Text When Using Video out With FX 5900U

    I just got a MSI Geforce FX5900Ultra VTD256, and i was trying to play games on my TV.  I used the S-Video to video (the yellow Cable) adapter and when im in the desktop, all the text is real blurry, i cant even read it.  I tried lowering the resolution to see if that would make it easyer to read, but it didnt work.  Can someone please help.  Maybe the is somthing wronge with me TV???

    Hi,
    TV sets have lower resolution and bandwidth than PC monitors - the two are sort of related, but are not quite the same thing.
    Resolution is often measured in "lines", meaning the number of individual vertical lines that could be displayed across the width of the TV and still be distinguishable as individual lines. A figure of 800 lines was considered pretty good, and could usually only be achieved in a TV studio, from a camera direct to a monitor. So 800 pixels is about as much as a TV (especially a smaller one) can reasonably display. (The vertical resolution depends on the TV standard, and is about 600 lines or pixels for PAL, and about 500 for NTSC)
    The other factor is Bandwidth, which is measured in Megahertz (MHz). Basically, the finer the (horizontal) detail, the more bandwidth you need in the path between the source and the picture tube to display it faithfully. Broadcast TV is deliberately limited to about 5MHz, whereas a computer monitor will have several tens of MHz of bandwidth.
    Also, the chrominance (colour) component of a composite or S-Video signal is limited to less than 2 MHz, so fine colour detail will be worse off (Black on white or vice-versa will give best results).
    Anyway, the practical outcome of all this is that the highest resolution you can use for TV out is 800x600, and even then you need to use larger fonts (so the vertical lines are thicker, and there are a reasonable number of horizontal lines in a character).  The maximum number of characters per line should be less than 60-80.
    There are some scan-converters available which use fancy techniques to render a reasonable image at higher resolutions, but they are fairly expensive.
    S-Video should give better results than composite, but you will still be up against bandwidth and resolution limits
    Cheers

    I am at my wits end, can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm not an expert, but have recently had similar problems with graphics that had text, black lines, lots of contrast, and movement. They looked great on HD but when I made a SD DVD, they were very blocky and pixellated - completely unusable. After lots of experimentation, I've finally got an acceptable dvd. Went back to my original shots - in Final Cut, (I'm not sure if you can do this in Motion) and carefully applied a little Gaussian Blur (.25 to1) to each according to how badly they pixellated. Also adjusted blacks and whites so they weren't so contrasty. Then made my mpeg with Compressor - two pass vbr, 6.8 mbps, best motion estimator. The Gaussian Blur seems to break up the areas that get blocked up and pixelated. SD dvd is such a lousy low resolution medium anyway, that it doesn't seem to result in any focus problems and helped most shots - I've even gone back and applied it to some of the regular footage that was pixellating. It was a lot of work, you may want to see if an expert weighs in on this.

  • Documents Print with Blurry Text in Acrobat Pro 9

    I'm running Acrobat Professional 9 on a Windows XP machine.  I recently upgraded to version 9 from version 7.  When I print files in color in version 9, the documents come out with bold-faced font and the text is a little blurry.  The document prints fine in grayscale.  I printed to the same printer from a different computer, using version 7, and the document prints correctly in color.  What can be causing this problem?

    ... I've heard that Adobe is still going to be supporting Acobat pro 7 for another year or so before dropping it.
    "End of Life" for Acrobat 7.x arrived some 15 months ago.
    See: http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/eol/eol_matrix.html#86

  • Adobe DPS Blurry Text

    I am designing a magazine spread in InDesign for DPS.
    When the document is taller than 2000px, the text rasterizes and becomes blurry.  If I divide the document into canvases that are 768 x 1024, then the text stays clear.  However, the Folio Producer will only allow snap to pages (selecting smooth-scrolling results in an error).  I'd like sharp text on a long spread with smooth scrolling, but I can't seem to make it work.
    Has any one else encountered this and discovered a solution?

    Smooth Scrolling works only if the layout has a single page.

  • Blurry Text On Dell UltraSharp U3014

    I recently bought a Dell UltraSharp U3014 (30" Display). I have it connected to my MacBook Pro (2011 non-retina) via Mini DP to DP.  I noticed that text seemed noticably blurry, and not as crisp/sharp as I would have expected them to be.
    I've checked the Display Settings and the monitor is in fact using the highest resolution 2460 x 1600).  Changing color profiles has no effect.  Also in General Settings, Font Smoothing is turned on.  I've tried settings that can be made in the terminal with no improved results:
    Medium font smoothing:
    <defaults -currentHost read -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
    Light font smoothing:
    defaults -currentHost read -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1
    Strong font smoothing:
    defaults -currentHost read -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
    This monitor is intended for a Windows computer that I have on the way, which I hope to get better results, but it would be nice to use this monitor for my MacBook when editing on occation.  Any ideas?

    Sorry wffurr this is wrong,  the problem is indeed the Mac.   Please see ippy04's answer below. 
    Untill I stumbled on that solution, i was using a dual link DVI adaptor to force the mac to output RGB mode, now I no longer need that adaptor. 
    The solution is in his answer.  I will paste it here for convenience:
    The problem is the mac is incorrectly trying to use the YCbCr space instead of RGB to drive the monitor (confirm in monitor settings by going to OSM->Menu->Color Settings and checking "Input Color Format".
    This post describes a fix: http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor/comment-page-1#comments
    I ran the ruby script and added the folder to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides, and now text is showing up fine, even at 50 sharpness. Color space is also showing "RGB" now.

  • Blurry text on HP w2207 external display?

    I just hooked up my 15" MBP to a new HP w2207 LCD and I'm concerned that text is not as sharp as it appears on the (lower-res) notebook display. I fear this may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway: Is this just a fact of life with a larger screen (which I otherwise love), or is there something wrong with the new monitor (or how I have it setup)?

    You know I tried two different monitors a Dell 17" LCD and a Samsung 20" widescreen. Both were set at their native resolutions. Both had the same problem. The text was not crisp. I would not say blurry but I would say it was over anti aliasing. I was using the DVI out put too. I tried doing a custom color profile but had very little improvement. Some forums indicating a possible problem with the Intel video. But I tried the monitor's on my wife's Dell laptop with the same Intel graphics and it does not have any problems. So I am thinking it is more about how Apple handles anti aliasing.
