Text in FCP 5

Just installed FCP 5 in three of our systems....everything seems to be working well, however, we've noticed issues when using the inherent text feature. The text seems to jitter. We've tried de-interlacing, playing with the size, etc. Has anybody else had these issues? If so any idea on fixing it?

You up to latest version of FCP 5 or at 5.0?

We're running 10.4.2, and running 5.0.1.

Go to 5.0.3 I think it might have solved that problem. You ARE looking at this on an external monitor, right?

Yes, using an external NTSC monitor. Do you need to to do the OS update (10.4.3) in order to update to FCP 5.0.3?

Thanks Mike!

Use Title 3D, not the legacy generators. LiveType and Motion are tip top as well.

When judging rendered graphics, make sure the dark green "FULL" bars are checked in the Sequence > Render menus prior to rendering.

Ensure that you are in Safe RT and Full Frame playback in the RT pop up menu.
