Before anyone tells me to search this, I have but can't find an answer. Why does my project give me fuzzy titles? I have had this problem with in the past and I am now using proX3 with the same results. I am using 720X480 video clips, and a couple of titles in my project. If I make dvd files, or a video file in 720x480 the final product (titles) look fuzzy. If I create a video file in HDV, or anything with a file with better than 720x480 the title looks nice and crisp. However I have to render the whole project in the higher resolution which is overkill since the video is filmed at 720x480, not to mention it takes much much longer to render. Is there a way to get the titles to come out crisp without rendering at these higher resolutions? I have had the same problem with image projects that I have to create higher resolutions so the pictures don't come out fuzzy but they only take a short time to render. The videos I am doing right now are over 1/2 hour long and It takes 2 to 3 times longer to render because of this problem.
Thanks,
Eric

Re: Fuzzy titles
First, it is not absolutely clear whether you are talking about titles as meaning the entire film clip, or just words that you have inserted into a project over the video. Please clarify.
Second, all you tell us about your video is that your original video is 720 x 480 and that you are making DVD or other video files. But you don't tell us the all-important things, like exactly what properties your original video has (including source, bitrate and importantly, the field order -- Upper Field First or Lower Field First or Frame Based). Nor do you tell us the exact properties of the files you are trying to produce but which turn out fuzzy.
Certainly, if you get the Field Order wrong, the end product could be described as fuzzy... or more commonly, jaggy around the edges. If, for instance, you video started life using Upper Field First, but you used project properties which used Lower Field First, then you would get this result. You need to maintin Upper Field First throughout the project, including the final production of the end product.
