Live Type

Hi: I'm trying in vain to complete my film for a festival and I'm running into a subtitle problem.

I have my FCP Sequence set at 1280 x 720 (23.98). The problem is when I import subtitles from LiveType they tend to "brighten" the picture when they're on screen. I think it's related to the "Project Properties" within LiveType. Does any one have any suggestions? Should I be selecting DVC PRO HD 720p?

Or should I select HDV 1080i50? (I do plan on upresing to 1080 for color correction).

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Tommy Davis

Have you tried exporting from LiveType in .TGA format?

This format allows for easier overlapping.
