Red text jagged White text smooth

I have created a text graphice in Motion which I have imported into FCP 7 as a .motn, however when I put the file on the timeline the text is severely jaggered.
I did a few tests with aspect ratios but no matter what adjutment I made, the text is still jaggered.
I decided to try the text in white instead of red and voila, the text is smooth.
I also tried two identical FCP standard text effects side by side, one red and one white and the probelm is the same. It's as if FCP or the iMac cannot handle the text/font in red.
Anyone know why this might be?
The project is DVCPRO HD 720 (960x720 with a pixcel aspect ratio of 1.33). I am running on an iMac The font is Arial Bold and the colour number is #FF0000

Why do I have blue text where white text should be?

A few websites I go to have blue text where white text should be. I looked at other threads and tired what people suggested, but nothing worked. I tired doing it on Google Chrome same thing happens but when I did it on Internet Explorer the text appeared white and normal.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Please go to C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\ and delete the folder called '''AssetCache'''
If the problem persists, please download the following two files:
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
* [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
Close Firefox by clicking '''File '''| '''Exit '''then navigate to where you saved the '''uninstall_flash_player_exe''' and double click it to uninstall Flash. '''Then reboot'''.
Next, go to the file where you downloaded '''install_flash_player.exe''' and double click that to reinstall Flash.
Finally, start Firefox and see if the problem persists or not.

Compund path or white text ona red background with a drop shadow

I have had business cards printed before with white text on a red background & the white wasn't 'punched out' (compound path) of the red so the white didn't print - the solution I was given was to create a compund path in illustrator before saving the PDF to punch the white out of the red & that worked fine ...
I now have dilema in that we want to get some flyers printed that have red starburst with white text over them but they also have a drop shadow behind the red star burst so if I punch the white text out of the startburst the drop shadow then appears through the starburst & the text is no longer white it is the drop shadow gradient from the background - i do not know how to get around this???

As long as your white text isn't set to overprint, you should be fine. Just place your text in front of your starburst and look at your attributes panel to make sure that overprint fill and overprint stroke are not checked.
I'll bet if you go back and look at the file that gave you trouble in the past, overprint fill is checked.

Need Red background with white lettering?

I'm trying to create a document A4 with a complete RED background - no margins etc just as a borderless print - i then want to print some large text onto the RED background in White text.
I cannot for the life of me find out how to do it - any ideas please
thanks

Place a rectangular object onto your document, and size it the way you'd like. Open the Inspector and choose the Graphic tab. Change the color to the shade of red you like. Select the Text tab in the Inspector, click in the object with your mouse and type your text. Finally, change the color of your text to white

Jagged text/shapes when text/shape color is something other than white

I have an issue in a Premiere Pro project where I am adding in either an AI slide, a PSD or using the Titler, and the text looks great, nice and crisp, until I render. Once I render, the colored text (anything other than black or white) shows jagged edges.
Here is an example of what is happening. Although the images upload seems to have downrezzed this a bit, the white feather at top left is the best example.
http://i1.creativecow.net/u/226028/videosamples.jpg
I am eventually exporting to Flash, where the issue still shows up, even though in the export window, it shows that the Output looks better than the Input.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried outlined AI files, PSD files, PNG files, JPG files, the Titler, all with and without Frame Blend, both RGB and CMYK, to no avail. I'm clearly missing something, since the white text looks great. Thanks in advance.

By render the timeline - I mean that it goes from red to green.
Sequence settings:
Editing mode: HDV 720p
Timebase: 23.976
1280x720
Square pixels
Progressive scan (no fields)
Exporting to Flash, I used FILE > EXPORT > MEDIA
Then selected FLV | F4V
F4V same as source
left all options the same
VBR, 2 pass
Increased bitrate to 5mbps target
Premiere version: CS4
Hope that helps.

White text on red poster?

Hi, I am somewhat of a newbie at using InDesign and was wondering if someone could enlighten me about white text on a coloured background for print. I have a poster that is red, with white text. Do I need to do anything special besides just clicking on the white colour for my text? I have heard people say "anything white that's on top of a colour needs to be knocked-out". What does that mean?
Thank you!
J

Presuming you are printing the red background, not using red paper, just select [Paper] for the fill color of the text.
[Paper] though editable to simulate different colored paper stocks, is a special non-printing color that means "Knock out everything in this area and show the paper." Normally it appears as "white" because that's the default color (and we mostly print on white paper) but it will leave an area without ink on any color stock you use to print.
This is in contrast to the [None] swatch, which is the equivalent of putting a piece of clear acetate over the page. In areas where there is no other ink, the paper will show through, but any object behind a [None] fill will be completely visible -- not much good for text unless you are looking to do an outlined effect with a colored stroke and no fill.
If you are actually printing on red paper and want the text to be white you will need to print the job on a printing press and create a SPOT color swatch for white ink. Set the mode to CMYK and push all the sliders to 0. It will look white on screen. Either edit the [Paper] swatch to resemble the red of your paper stock (remember, [Paper] does not print) so you can see what things will look like, or add a non-printing red frame as a background. Remember that printing on colored paper is different from printing on white. All of your colors will be darker, with a reddish cast, on the finished piece, and it is very difficult to preview on the screen. Some colors may not show up at all.

How do I prepare an Illustrator file for printing white text on a dark t-shirt?

There are no graphics, just text. The finished product is going to be white text on a red t-shirt.
What are the steps in preparing a file in Illustrator for this purpose, and what do I need to do before sending it off to the printer?
Thanks.

I would call or email your printer and ask him or her the same question. There are a number of ways to indicate white ink, it would be good to know their preference. My guess is they will ask you to supply a PDF with black type and indicate somewhere that it's to print in white ink. They might prefer an .eps file. An illustration of a red T-shirt with white type in the desired location and size would also help insure you get what you want.

When I boot up my iMac I get a black screen with white text?

Hey guys wondering if anyone can help me. I installed mountain lion on my iMac the other day (2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24inch) and now when I turn it on I get this screen come up? Any one no of a way to fix it? It comes up black all this white text appears and at the end it says..
"If you wish to boot the system:
exit
:/ root #
You type exit and some more stuff comes up then the mac boots up, normal apple loading screen and your in?? I tried reinstalling mountain lion again and I had no luck. Still doing it? Its strange cause ML is running fine on my macbook air. If anyone has any suggestions I would be so grateful. Tell me this isnt the end of her?
Its not something silly like the keyboard and mouse aren't connecting? I leave them on all the time.
Heres a snap of the screen
Thanks everyone

I did reset the PRAM, but don't think that worked. I did find this on a blog on the web. It worked for me
When I first read this post I did not realize that the Mac boots properly if you type "exit". It seems like perhaps your mac thinks you want to boot in "verbose" mode. Try this before doing a reinstall.
http://www.ernieflores.net/osx-page-3/always-boot-mac-os-x-in-verbose-mode/
I got this info from here
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/280859-black-screen-white -text-startup.html
note: after it starts with the white text and black screen just type exit then hit return key and the computer will startup. open the terminal after that and follow the ernie flores blog tip.

When I send emails using my iPad, recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white...

When I send emails using my iPad, some recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white. Interestingly enough, I was a Windows user just a few months ago and I was on the receiving end of this same problem with someone who was sending emails from her iPhone. I don't believe it is happening every time but if it happens even once it's a problem. Any idea what's going on?

Oddly enough, having reported the problem it appears to have fixed itself. There may be some combination swipe gesture that triggers it is all I can think because I suddenly manged to zoom my display x3 by double tapping three fingers. Took me a while to sort this out but then when I got back home I could suddenly see all my emails again. Bizarre!

Problems with white text & transparency from Photoshop to Acrobat

Hello Adobe Community!
What I am doing: I have a design I created in Photoshop CC. This design has a transparent background. I am attempting to save this as a PDF in photoshop so I am able to open it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and print it on any color paper with only the design showing
Issue: When I open the saved PDF in Acrobat. I can only see my white text and a faint outline of part of my design, and not even all the rest of the design.
Then when I print it on color paper only the text shows up (with black stroke) on the paper along with my crop marks I made in the PS design. also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text
Here are my steps:
1.Create Design
2.Save as..
3.Save as type - Photoshop PDF
4.[] As a copy, unchecked
5.[Check] Layers, Checked
6.OK
7.General Settings -
Adobe PDF Preset: [High Quality Print]
Standard: None
Compatability: Acrobat 9/10 (PDF 1.7+)
Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities, Checked
Embed page Thumbnails, Unchecked
Optimize for fast web preview, Checked
View PDF after saving, Unchecked
8.Compression -
Compression: None
The rest of the settings are default.
9.Open PDF from file
10.Print with default settings
11. Look at my butchered design in print
12.Continued Frustration
So for some reason its like Acrobat is 'Ignoring' the white in my design? I'm so confused and I've been at this for hours, going through forum post after forum post and it seems like i'm doing everything correctly but I'm not getting anywhere with it.
I hope I added all necessary information, this is my first time posting here.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Would someone mind looking at the file? any help would be very much appreciated.
Note:Also I inverted the entire design making it all black instead of all white. followed same exact steps as above, and it printed perfectly. My confusion/frustration continues.

You wrote: . . . also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text.
You can't print white using an inkjet or laser printer because there isn't white ink or toner in your printer.
The white needed to come from your paper which should be white.
All printers and presses use CMYK inks or toner.
What is the definition of White? C=0, M=0, Y = 0, K=0 so not a single droplet of any ink is being placed on the paper in any area that is supposed to be white..
Of course the color of the paper will show in areas where there is no ink.
When you see something white that is printed on a dark paper it using a special spot color Opaque White on a offset press..
(there is a single inket model from Epson that can print an ink that appears to be white. The model is $7,000 by the way. the [white] ink is $350, all the other inks are only $90)
From the Epson website:
Epson UltraChrome HDR White Ink introduces an all-new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology, which forces light to randomly scatter, producing the illusion of seeing the color white.
Notice that even Epson only claims it produces the illusion of white.
The only way around this issue is to print on White paper and print the "color of the paper" everywhere else on the paper that doesn't have your design elements.

White text appears black/grey after export to PDF - but only on a PC!

I use Pages to make flyers in A4-format. But 8 out of 10 times I make one, convert it to PDF and send it to my boss via Mail, I get a reply where he says that everything looks good but the text.
I have a colored background or image with white text on top in its own layer.
This problem has been tauting me for several weeks now, and I thought I had the soloution recently when I started to make sure that the text layer where brought to the front (top layer). But still i get the message back that the text is either black or dark grey and can´t be read on his PC. It looks fine on my Mac, but not on his XP/Vista computer.
- I usually convert using the "Better" compression mode.
- I tried to convert it using Print - Print to PDF but the problem persists.
- I have deleted the plist-file as well. Same problem.
But since this doesnt happen with all my flyers, I am beginning to think that there is something I am doing "wrong" while making the flyer or that there is some kind of "rule" that I dont know about. Or is it an unstable PDF-export algorithm?
Can anybody help me please?

Photoshop problems with displaying white text (and glitching in general)

Hi there,
My Photoshop seems to be having some serious issues with displaying certain things, namely white text (which shows up as black), and a mix of other random elements. I've tried searching for symptoms that I've been having, but I can't seem to find anything relevant. Here is what is going on:
White text shows up as black. However, sometimes if I use blending options to give it a white Color Overlay, it will become white. Sometimes it doesn't matter, it will show up as black regardless. Other colors are not affected. I have tried changing colors back and forth. the moment I switch the color back to white, it shows up as black.
Smart objects are broken. I can still find a smart object in the Layers window, but it will just display as one of two things: nothing/transparent (but the layer inside still contains everything it used to), or the way it is supposed to look but with a huge black bar over it (or a glitch tv-error fuzz bar). I've tried taking all of the elements in the Smart Object and bringing it into the original file, but then the image looks super fuzzy-glitchy.
I've attached a screenshot of what I mean by this fuzz-glitch thing below. This example is black and white, but it can be literally any color and/or any rainbow of colors. This is what happened when I created a new 1000px x 1000px document with a white background. Notice how it isn't ENTIRELY glitchy fuzz. Only certain parts of it are covered.
Please help! Does anyone know how to solve this? I've tried restarting Photoshop, restarting my computer, changing the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings Drawing Mode from Normal to Basic, changing the amount of memory usage that I let Photoshop use (down AND up), and nothing gets fixed. The problem occurs in the middle of working on Photoshop
My computer information is as follows:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) running OSX Yosemite
3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting the Type tool by right clicking here:
Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless. If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM. See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.
