Fixing Fuzzy Letters in Final Cut Pro

I’ve been working on editing a certain video lately, and I kept getting frustrated that the text in the exported file wasn’t as clean as what I seemed to be working on in Final Cut Pro. I googled around a bit, found the solution, and, figuring this might come up again (for me or for others), decided I might as well share this tip here.

  1. Export the file to the desktop. (I exported as a Quicktime movie.)
  2. Open the file in Quicktime. (It’s set to open in FCP by default.)
  3. Hit command-J.
  4. In the list of tracks on the top of the dialog box, pick “Video Track.”
  5. Click the “Visual Settings” tab, and check “High Quality” in the lower right.
  6. Close this window and hit command-S to save.
Works like a charm. Thanks to kuma16 on CreativeCOW for the solution!
