Text distortion
 

Two questions:

Below is a link to an image that shows how messed up my text looks in Vegas on a black background. Usually if I change fonts it works out fine, but not this time. this was rendered to .avi widescreen, and frame size of text is 1440x960.

Here's photo:

Question #2:

How do you embed/put a photo in a post? I've seen others do it, but I'm flummoxed.

Is this text zoomed in or did you use a large size font?
Try addding a small black outline to the text.

That is not zoomed in, that is the actual size. I did darken the white to a light grey, and that helped. I'll try your suggestions also.

Thanks Terry.

Also, change the text display to double resolution.

Actually what you see is double the resolution, I have also tried it tripled, it's the same.

Hi Jeff,
I had the same exact problem, changed the properties to HDV 720-30P problem was solved.

Jeff, you said you changed the text to a light grey and that helped.
I make it a rule to never exceed 235-235-235 for white text (and 16-16-16 for black) and don't recall ever having this problem.
These values ensure that text says within the 16-235 luminance range.

Well Mike, it would appear that you have validated my experience. Thanks.

You're welcome Jeff.
I can't remember where I read those values but it's something I stick to and, as I said, have never had problems by doing so.
BTW, I've found Great Titles with the DV Codec to be an excellent article on the subject.

Those values seem perfect. Titles are still white but no issues now. Thanks for the link!

Excellent article, Mike. Thank you for posting the link.
