Re: fuzzy letters

Josh,

The problem is DV compression using the DV codec. The way to prevent that from happening is as follows:

After editing is complete, click on the Sequence tab, then Settings, then look under Quicktime Video Settings and you'll see Compressor and a dropdown menu box. In that box change the compressor to DVCPRO50-NTSC. Now hit OK and then Re-render the timeline. You will magically find that your text and graphics suddenly export with much greater precision and clarity, because the color depth of the DVCPRO50 codec is 4:2:2 rather than the horrible 4:1:1 of the DV codec.
