Why Does Text From Livetype & Motion Look Bad in FCP?

Am I doing something wrong?
When I design a simple project in Livetype or Motion with white text on a black background, the text looks really bad (very unsharp and not straight lines) once it is rendered out as an NTSC DV Movie. Really, it isn't only FCP that displays it this way. When I open the file in Quik Times Player, it looks just a bad. Is there some setting you can think of that might cause this? Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

Neither Canvas nor QT Player really constitute monitoring.
Ideally you should be looking at an external CRT to see what you've got.
Lacking that, set your Canvas to 100% and uncheck Square Pixels so at least you're seeing pixel for pixel.
Set RT to Safe.
Set your render settings to the highest all around. This is done unfortunately in several places.
Check the Motion tab for your Motion and Livetype imported clips. Make sure they aren't being resized.
Check back.

  • TS2516 Why does text disappear from some of the pages?  No matter what I do, to include reviewing spelling, the text will disappear in preview mode.

    Why does text disappear from the pages in my iPhoto book project?  When I try to buy the book, it comes up with spelling errors (which are names that the dictionary doesn't recognize), but even after clicking "ignore", the text disappears when I preview the book.  Even this is inconsistent because the same words appear on other pages.  There is text on other pages that disappear for no apparent reason.  This has become very frustrating and time consuming.

    Are you previewing using this method?  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2486

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

  • Why does text I copy from a .pdf to a Word document, not copy correctly words containing the combinations 'tt' or 'ti'?

    When I copy text from a .pdf to a Word document, all words containing the combination 'tt' or 'ti' come up as blank boxes,or question marks.  How can I correct this?

    To comment a bit further, several letter combinations like tt and ti as well as many combinations with f are given as a single character in some languages and apparently you do not have that special character on your system.

  • Why does a DVI or VGA look better than HDMI for 2nd Monitor

    Why does a DVI or VGA connection for a program monitor look better than HDMI. I've tested this on several systems with CS5x and CS6. The full screen output from premiere definitely looks worse with HDMI.
    I can often see visual differences with the Windows GUI as well, over sharpening of text and lines, harsh rendering of gradients. It looks like a VGA signal displayed on a television.
    I've looked at the NVidia stetting and it appears to be set to 1920x1080 at 60hz either way, DVI or HDMI. On one Acer 20 inch monitor the was VGA, HDMI, Composite, Component, and Digital Tuner, but no DVI. The program monitor has always looked blah from the HDMI. So I recently switched the connection to a DVI to VGA adaptor, and now the video looks so much better.
    Any thoughts or explanations?

    Just because the monitors accept a 1080P signal doesn't mean their native resolution is 1920x1080. At 20 inch they very likely can scale that signal down to the native resolution of the panel which may be 1600 x 900 or another resolution that is 16 x 9 resolution. That scaling can be done by the GPU or firmware on the Monitor depending on the video driver options and the firmware options. That scaling is also the most common cause to text and icon blurriness you are talking about. As an example there are Pro monitors that accept a 4K signal but scale it down to 2.5K or 2K on the actual panel. You might try going into your video card settings such as Nvidia control panel and look for the scaling options. Select GPU scaling and see if the preview is better. If that doesn't work select no scaling and see if it's better if the monitor firmware handles the scaling.

  • Why does Compressor's HDV output look worse than iDVD's output of same?

    Okay, here's the thing... for weekly updates I've been sending the client outputs via iDVD. And they've honestly looked great. The HDV footage fills the screen and doesn't show any noticeable compression funkiness. But for the screening of the completed first cut I wanted to deliver what I thought would be an even higher quality look (esp since I intended to deliver the completed project mpeg and AC3), so I exported the HDV cut out of FCP via QT and converted it with Compressor's DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes to turn the HDV into SD 720x480 16:9 letterboxed. I then burned it with DVDSP, complete with nice looking menus, etc. And I was shocked viewing the output. The two clips I'd reversed in FCP stuttered, and even a clip with nothing on it was strobing. Plus, close ups showed noticeable compression on the faces. So what gives? Why does it look so much better when I just slammed it out on iDVD? What don't I "get?" I've scoured the books I have and nothing seems to give me a clue.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

    Lightroom uses its own raw converter and its own camera profiles to convert the raw data into an image.  This will never be the same as the camera-manufacturer’s raw image decoding either in camera or using camera-manufacturer-supplied software or any other third-party software.
    Here is a general explanation from a few years ago, that is mostly valid, with the one exception that there are no camera-matching profiles for your brand of camera:
    http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?1285-Why-did-Lightroom-ruin-my-photo
    The IDC is apparently using camera settings and is clearly sharpening the image and quashing some of the lens-flare, oversharpening in my opinion.
    You can do these sorts of things in LR, too, but you have to tell it to do things, it won’t do this by default. 
    The 2010 and 2012 are related to Process Version not Profile, and one difference between the two PVs is how the toning responds to near clipping conditions.  Your reds are very saturated and near if not actually clipping so it is not surprising that the two raw conversions are not the same.
    Can you provide a link to the raw file, using DropBox.com or similar large-file-hosting-service and maybe someone will give some tips on how to make the LR processing closer to what you’re seeing with the camera-manufacturer version.?

  • Why does my ipad and appleTv work badly with youtube ?

    Why does my ipad an apple tv work so badly with youtube, its frozen all the thime

    Make sure the wifi signal is strong enough as the iPad uses twice the normal bandwidth (receiving youtube video and sending it to the Apple TV).
    if it isn't strong enough, try to move your wifi router closer to the Apple TV room or get an additional router.

  • Why does text field in InfoPath 2010 show user name with two commas between first name and last?

    Here's the problem. I have a text field called Manager in an InfoPath 2010 form that is getting populated by a drop down field called
    Business Unit.
    The Business Unit drop-down field is pulling information from
    column A in a custom list via a managed data connection. The custom List has two columns:
    Title & Manager. 
    The Manager column in the custom list is a 'Person or Group' type column.
    The Data Connection pulls both the Title, Manager
    (and ID) data.
    There is a rule on the Business Unit drop-down field to change the value of the
    Manager text field with the Manager data on the custom list. The rule pulls the
    Manager information and filters the value to match the
    Business Unit on the Data Connection with the Business Unit drop-down
    field value (Main).
    The Business Unit drop-down field works great and pulls the value from the custom list, and the rule populates the Manager text field. The problem is that Manager text field shows the name as such:
    [smith,, john]. Notice the two commas between the last and first name. There should only be
    one comma!
    Anyone have an idea why the text field is appearing with two commas?
    Arnel

    Hi all,
    I have a workaround for this. I have an InfoPath 2010 form pulling data from a SP2010 list. The user chooses a System (Business Unit) from the dropdown list and that choice auto populates the associated user (Manager) for that system. I had to
    use concatenation, substring before and substring after to display the correct data.
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName, ",, "))
    DisplayName is the original data for the field. I am able to cut & paste this field into the formula. Therefore, I added a few spaces to separate it from the actually formula for future use.
    Select Insert Function
    Select concat
    Select the first link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-before
    Select the third link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-after
    Copy and paste your fieldname (in my case DisplayName) in the
    double-click to insert field
    parts of the substring-before and substring-after links.
    Delete the middle double-click to insert field link
    Add quotes, spaces and commas so that they match the following format:
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName,
    Translation:
    concat(substring-before(Doe,, John, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(Doe,,
    John, ",, "))
    Bring together all of the text before ",," (i.e. Doe) with ", " (comma, space) and all text after ",," (i.e. John).
    It should return
    Doe, John.
    I hope this makes sense. I have these instructions with screenshots if you need them, contact me.

  • Slow Motion Looks Bad

    Hi,
    I have FCE 4, and in my movie, i have slow motion. However, when I create a master sequnce, the slow motion looks jerky because my video is sd and the master sequnce is HD, but the sequence needs to be HD because I have pictures, and the pictures look better in HD. Does anybody have a fix for this? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    There isn't much you can do if the video has to be in the same sequence as the still images. Remember though when you go to DVD it's going to all be back to SD. Your HD might look better in FCE and might produce a better result when compressed in iDVD, but I don't know if it's worth the damage you're doing scaling up the SD video a huge amount.

  • Why does text show up as imessage or text whats the difference?

    WHY DOES MY TEXT SHOW UP AS IMESSAGE WHICH IS BLUE OR TEXT IS GREEN OTHER TIMES

    iMessage is free while the regular green text cost money.  You can text anyone, you can iMessage other iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users.
    If you are having iMessages being sent as texts, I would turn off the setting in Messages Setting, "Send as SMS".

  • Titles from motion look lousy in FCP

  • Why does downloading from iCloud take so long now?

    I've been using Match since it was released. I'm used to the download times required for hour-length albums, playlists, and hi-def TV programs.
    My memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long music album that was bought on iTunes in iTunes Plus format (256Kbs) took abouit 5-10 mins. So why does it now take ONE HOUR?!?
    Likewise, my memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long hi-def TV episode that was bought on iTunes took abouit 20-30 mins. So why does it now take TWO HOURS?!?
    My infrastructure is the same: broadband connection with over 100Mbps down, iPhone 4s, iPad 3.
    WHY has downloading from Match gotten SO SLOW on iOS devices? On my new iMac it is blazing fast. And a year ago, it was rather quick (as detailed above).
    Anyway who has info on this, would greatly appreciate seeing it posted. Thanks.

    It's about 4GB, from memory, and the download speed can be affected from things like site traffic or variations in speed from your own ISP. But in general, it IS a very large download. Also never put your trust in a computer telling you how much time is left to download. As you can see, it recalculates everything more often and more quickly than the Tax Department!

  • Does anyone from Apple ever look at these posts?

    Logically speaking it's difficult to assume that all these problems with SL and the peripheral devices attached to them can be blamed on the user. I'll allow for some to be the fault of the user but not the majority.Especially when the problems are so similar.
    Does anyone from Apple check this site or is it just a grip sheet provided by them?
    Having been a pc user up until a couple of years ago SL is beginning to make me feel like I'm back on a pc. Not good!!

    Yes, but they rarely post. Click here for more information.
