I'm sure it's a setting somewhere that I'm missing but the LiveType graphic looks great in the LT Canvas but once I view it in the FCP Canvas it looks really compressed/ full of artifacts. Any thoughts?
Thanks
RJ

We see this post daily or more often between all of the various FCP forums. It is usually solved by viewing the rendered footage on a video monitor instead of the computer display. But if you're wokring in DV, the results will always be disappointing. DV sucks for text, totally.

So if it looks crappy in DV and on my video monitor - is there a way
to make it look better? Can I take my finished dv sequence and copy and paste
it into an uncompressed 8bit sequence and then add my titles? Will this
make for better titles? Thanks for the help.

Even if you just take it to a DVCPO50 sequnce it will look much better and the sequence will perform better with firewire drives, etc. If you have a very fast raid you can try uncompressed. The key is to get it into a sequence

Thanks for responding David.
I cut the clip into an 8bit uncompressed sequence and imported the title.
The title looked great.
Now I just have to do that with the whole project.
