Getting Power Point slides into FCP without jaggies using DV format

Hi all,

I shot a job recently in HD and in the editing process I had to bring in slides from the power point presentation into the timeline.

I exported the slides from within PP and then imported those JPG's into the timeline. All looked well on the canvas window after the render. Most slides are a white background with black text on it and some basic graphics.

I exported from the HD timeline to DVCPRO50 16:9 PAL (to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio - the only way I can successfully seem to do it) and then imported each file into DVKitchen for encoding to both Flash and WMV files 480 x 270 300kbps as per client request for their intranet.

The issue is that I have is that the text on the slides in the final compressed files is so jaggy that I can hardly read it. Well, I can read it, but it looks awful.

Is there a process that I could have used in the workflow that could have prevented this?

I am guessing it is a simple thing I have missed.

Cheers,

David
