"I'm exporting out a 720x480 quicktime with a split screen. All of the text is coming out looking terrible."
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.
