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

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this problem for weeks now. Assuming the issues was in FCP itself, little did I know it was something as simple as the visual settings within quicktime! Thank you!!

AmAzing! Thanks so much! I thought I was going to have to trawl the internet fruitlessly into the early hours of tomorrow morning so am very relieved. :-D
