Pixelated Text after export FCP5

My problem is that whenever i export from final cut pro 5 to a quicktime movie the text that i have created in LiveType always turns out very pixelated as you can see here: http://homepage.mac.com/jrthib1/distortedtext.png
The text looks fine when working in the canvas even at full screen.
Here are my export settings in FCP: http://homepage.mac.com/jrthib1/finalcutsettings.png
Here are my LiveType project settings: http://homepage.mac.com/jrthib1/livetypesettings.png
I'm not sure where to start in asking questions so hopefully someone can help me.
thanks in advance!

Couple of possiblilites, though I don't use LiveType enough to really qualify this answer, but you might try...
changing your Field Dominance to 'Lower (Even)' in both FCP and LiveType...could try 'Upper (Odd) if that didn't work.
You may be ok with Field Dominance set for 'None', but you should make sure that...
In the 'Attributes' tab of the LiveType inspector, make sure that the 'Offset/Y' (vertical axis) is on an even numbered integer. Much like basic FCP 'text', if the vertical axis (in the Viewer window/Motion Tab) is not on an even numbered integer, the nature of interlacing can create problems.
I'd also try using 'sans-serif' fonts like Arial, Helvitica, Verdana...
'Serif' type fonts with 'tips' or very skinny lines/portions of the text, like Times New Roman or Big Caslon cause the problems associated with interlacing as discussed in paragraph above.
Hope that helps. Post back if you've not resolved the issue.

We see similar posts weekly and daily. You can search the FCP and LiveType forums for your terms.
The most likely explanation is that you are trying to evaluate your interlaced text objects on a reduced scale and progressive display device. If you watch them on a tv set, for example, I'm betting they look just fine.

PIXELATED IMAGES AFTER EXPORT TO IDVD

Help! I'm confused and frustrated. I have imported 65 images from iPhoto to iMovie and added titles, music and a few transitions. The movie plays fine in iMovie full screen on my 20 inch iMac. After exporting to Idvd project a number of the images (most) are pixelated and even more confusing (at least to me), when I return to the original iMovie (which was great before the export) now those images are pixelated also. WHAT IS GOING ON? , how can I avoid this? Hope I am in the right forum.
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Bengt: Right now I'm jubilant. Tried your methodology, and results were beautiful. Good burn and no JAGGIES. Then made a disc image and tried a burn from that. Great. If this continues I owe you a "GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!" I have been struggling with this problem far to long. Next I want to try adding some more complex transitions and perhaps some Ken Burns and hoping to see the same SMOOTHE lines. Too bad more people don't know about this for I see others posting about pixelation.
For now, I remain grateful.

Pixelated Images after exporting

I have recently switched from a Mac Laptop to a PC desktop. After I export my images they are really pixelated. I am not sure if lightroom is different for a PC. Can someone please help me.
I have the same settings picked too.

>switched from a Mac Laptop to a PC desktop
That should teach you not to do that ;-)
Sorry bad joke. The PC version behaves exactly like the Mac version so the same settings should give you identical files. Your screenshot doesn't show the crucial setting -> quality. It should be 80 or higher in general. Around 60 or so you'll start seeing blocky jpeg artefacts that might look like pixelation.

PIxelated text after one click

Can anyone tell me why after clicking once on a link the text
goes pixelated in another frame. For an example of the buttons go
here: www.csmortgages.co.uk then click on "Residential Mortgages"
or try others.
Its was working fine before and I've recently increase the
document's size in length, but surly this shouldn't effect it -
should it!?
Thanks

It worked!
For some reason - Flash secretly changes the fonts to "device
fonts", but by simply changing them back to anti-alias for
readability in the properties panel solves the problem. Strange
that it does this in the first place!?
Thanks for you help.

Missing text after EXPORT from PMD to PDF

Hi,
I have a document, designed through Adobe pagemaker 70, which I would like converted to PDF. Within Adobe PageMaker 70 I performed a File-->Export-->Adobe PDF, kept all the default options and managed to generate a PDF version of the *.PMD document. However, some of the text in the PDF document is missing. I searched on the internet and discovered one can do Document-->Examine Document within Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to display any hidden text. Doing this I was able to see the missing text.
There is an image in the source Pagemaker document, but the image is not square but cropped along it's outside edge and the text flows around the edge (hope that makes sense). What's puzzling is that in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the generate PDF has the image displayed in a box and some (not all) the text behind this box is shown as hidden, where as in the source document all text flowing around the image is visible.
Can anyone please help with this problem and tell me how I can get the hidden text in my PDF document to display so it's visible in an Acrobat Reader or when printed?... I am still a bit of a newbie with both Pagemaker and Acrobat so your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sharon
PS: I have not uploaded the file but do not mind doing so if some one is able to help and requests either the source PMD file or the generated PDF file

Hi,
The "question mark" displayed may be refereed to the missing font.
Are you trying to convert a public web page? if yes then please share a link so that i can also test it.

Help! How do I get rid of this annoying outline around text after exporting to a PNG

I designed a text document in illustrator and it looks great...in illustrator. As soon as I export it to a PNG, an annoying outline around text appears. What do I do?????

For text or 1-color items you can try the .gif format for sharper edges.
Try changing the color of your matte to what the colro of the background is. The image will lok bad, unless you put that on top of your background.

Black text on white background has horrible glow after export & viewed on TV.

I'm wondering how to correct a glow that develops around black text after exporting. Black text is on white background of course.
Export settings:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 24 HQ
I've checked of 'use max. render quality' as well as 'render at max. depth'
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try the contrast change.
In Titler ..make the White Fill less than full white. ( Color Picker Fill) 235 to 245 should be fine.
I would not mess with the Black and you should not need to Key line anything with Grey.
But maybe you did not make this text in Titler.
If not..you need to make the changes in original application. eg PhotoShop.
What TV is involved in viewing this?
How does the Text look in the PPRO Monitors?

In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ?

Hi Amol,
According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
Reference:
Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

InDesign CC: Text in editable text fields disappearing after exporting

Hi,
I'm having an issue of text disappearing from editable text fields after exporting the document as an interactive pdf. I've created the text that needs to be editable in acrobat with InDesign CC. So for example, I want to have an editable text field that already says "I'm Mary." I want users to have an ability to change "Mary" to "Tom" or "Ben" in Acrobat. So the pdf should have an editable text form saying "I'm Mary" sentence when users open the pdf in Acrobat. However, after exporting, the text fields remains but the text itself "I'm Mary." is gone. I don't understand why this happens because the text is there when previewed in SWF preview window in InDesign.
The below is the list of steps I took.
STEP 1: Create some texts (For example, m with the text frame tool in InDesign CC
STEP 2: Right click the frame, and click on "Interactive > Convert to Text Field"
OR
STEP 2: Select the text frame, open "Buttons and Forms" window and change the type as "Text Field"
STEP 3: Export the document as an interactive pdf. The setting is default.
Result: When I open the pdf in Acrobat, the text field is there, but it is blank.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I know this is possible because a person before me at my job did it.
Thank you!

As far as I know, to have a pre-populated text form [I'm Mary] appear in the text field, you will need to set the Default Value of the text field in Acrobat. You can do that by selecting the property of the field > Options > Default Value

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video, how do I fix it?

I have the exact same problem, but I'm actually using CC. I don't have an option for "match source high bitrate." Is anyone responding to forum questions out there?

Text poor quality after Export

I'm having some pretty poor quality text rendering after export. The video appears fine otherewise. I am exporting to YouTubeSD not HD, though I wouldn't think that would matter. [?]
I'm pretty new to the complexities of film editing. So, I can't answer much about the video source files other than that they are MP4 converted originally from analog files written to DVD. I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with the titles at all since all text created thru PP Title Editor. [?]
Here's a screenshot of settings. Any ideas?

Sorry- I meant to add this is CS5.5
Jeff- I've been using this same font for other projects without problem. This just started happening on this project. Yes, it is a serif font but no problems before. It's always rendered well [Adobe Arabic].
Message was edited by: zech3 APOLOGIES- when I searched this issue, I didn't see my exact problem and the post below [ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/705407?tstart=0 ] just got resurrected from 2010, it didn't appear in my search... though I'm not sure our issue is identical...
Here's a better screenshoht:
And some screen shots of titles:
BEFORE text rendering problem. From a project last year, this typeface is skinnier but rendered much better!
AFTER text rendering problem started. This is the current typeface that, even though a heavier typeface, renders horribly!!
I should add that the titles seem to flicker a bit when transitions are applied to the start or end of title clip.

Text Surface Not Smooth after Exported

Hi,
I have a Trailer that i've done by FCP.at the top layer,i put on some Outline Text (from Viewer->"A" at the right bottom->Text).Everything Looks good in FCP preview.But when after exported and i open it by QT the Text are not smooth the surface...i got small text and large text (25pt to 75pt).
Any problem and anything wrong on my setting according to the issue above?
Or, LiveType is the good idea to edit some text on top?
Thanks!

Well, you don't want to ignore it, but you do want to delinterlace any video destined for the web.. if it's to be a DVD or tape on a TV set though, don't deinterlace. Computer displays are progressive devices and they don't do well then with interlaced video.... You can do this in compressor BTW... or in FCP.

Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry. I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
TECHNICAL ASIDE:
rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

MapiSendMail doesn't work after Exporting a report in CR2008 (Outlook2003)

Hi,
This one sounds crazy but I'm hoping this might make sense to someone..
We're using CR2008 SP4. In our WinForms app, we use the MapiSendMail function to open up a new email message for the user to send.
This issue only occurs when Outlook 2003 is installed (outlook 2007 and 2010 work fine).
If, in my application, I call MapiSendMail to send an email before exporting a Crystal Report to PDF .i.e oReport:Export() then both the export and sending mail work fine as long as I'm logged into my app.
If, however, in my application, I export a Crystal Report to PDF .i.e oReport:Export() and then I try to call MapiSendMail I get a generic MAPI erorr(2). I have to log out of my app to be able to open up a new mail message.
Is there anything in the Report:Export method that some affects default MAPI behavior?
Thanks,
Fergus

Hi Don,
Many thanks for getting back to me. I've found a workaround without having fully understood the cause. I'll put it all down here in case some others have similar problems.
I was already closing and disposing the report object in my code as soon as the export completed.
The Mapi error 2 is MAPI_E_FAILURE which translates to "One or more unspecified errors occurred while sending the message. It is not known if the message was sent."
I could not find any any "Access Denied"s using ProcMon.
I used the Modules.exe to determine which dlls were loaded when the MapiSendMail worked correctly and compared that to when it didn't work. One dll that poped out was "outex.dll".
I searched for that in ProcMon and (in the case where MapiSendMail didn't work) and found that it was looking for this outex.dll but couldn't find it. It's located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 but it never looked there.
So:
Calling MapiSendMail before exporting a report - outex.dll can be found
Calling MapiSendMail after exporting a report - outex.dll can't be found
To get around this I added C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 to the path on the machine(s) in question and it worked every time.
Thanks again for your help.
Fergus
p.s. After finding this workaround I found an almost identical problem but with Oracle instead of Crystal (How to serach text via TREX with cryptograph attachment in SAP system?).
