text seems lower res
Hi folks,
I'm animating in 1080p and happy with results.
However, I recently did some credits and found they were thinner than everything else, almost a lower res - despite none of my settings changing.
It appears that when you use the text function, the clarity you get is considerably less than when you draw etc.
Anyone else have this experience?
If there's no way to fix this, I'll have to create type myself, rather than typing in what I want...

well, the reason creating my own lettering might cause a difference is that it would be the same as creating any other line in my animation - all of which I am happy with it.
It's only when I use the text function the density fades a little.
Yes, I have adjusted the thickness to get it just the way I want.
But when rendered it just doesn't have the purity of the rest of the 1080p. The edges are slightly pixelated and it's just looks like a lower res.
If I draw a line myself, it's pure colour, but if I type words in large on the screen it's impure.

Recently I used basic fonts, but just a few words which later were part of the scene, and even for that I vectorized them before import.
Must be something about render settings since I`ve noticed that low res look occurs no matter what type of font is used and it greatly depends of letters size. Also, thiner and serif fonts tend to low res look if to small.
p.s.
How does it looks in your preview, while the file is open? Are the letters also low res in the preview?

Anime studio converts the fonts/text into shapes when you insert the text.
The only reason they could look poor would be the translation from font to shapes because once done they are just the same as everything else.
looks fine on mine. you could post your image and a sample file..
