I am a new user to Mac. I have a G5 with 2G ram(?). I am working on a training video with lots of graphics. I did the graphics in Motion and when I comprressed it to 300bps streaming through compressor, the graphics looked awful: the color was mottled and fuzzy. The motion graphics I did with Motion's templates look crystal clear, but not the graphics with the transparent background. I have tried changing the Motion project settings to match the template settings, changing the Motion settings to match FCP settings. The thing that worked best was re-doing the graphic in LiveType. I tried Motion with the Live Type presets - better, but not as good as Live Type. I really don't want to have to re-do all these graphics. It looks fine on video tape. Haven't tried MPEG2 yet for the DVD. But would liike to be able to put it to our Mac Account for the client to review updates. Any ideas?
