Live Type text doesn't look good in FCP
by Phil Wolf on Jul 10, 2009 at 6:06:14 pm

The text I import from Live Type into FCP looks nothing like it does when I'm working with it in LT. I know not to use text with fine lines as they don't show up very well. This text is plenty thick but looks almost blurry when I import it into FCP. How do I fix this?

Various things may cause this, some that come to mind are.
What are your Livetype and FCP sequence settings? Do they match?
When I have text from Livetype that looks a bit blurry it is usually because my FCP Sequence Settings and Livetype Project Properties are not in sync. Livetype SD → FCP HD, Livetype HD 720 → FCP HD 1080, Frame rates etc...

A simple way to check frame size in Livetype is to place a movie from your sequence in Livetype by:
File>Place Background Movie
look for a quicktime of a shot from your current project and hit Open
Compare background movie with Text in Livetype

hope that helps

Victor
