Hello All,
I've been working on an edit for several weeks now, and feel like I've exhausted a good amount of the resources I've been able to track down on my own. The edit is a set of training sessions I filmed for a school system in Texas, broken down over 5 days. I've edited each of those sessions independently, then dropped each day onto a timeline in FCPX, which I then exported via the DVD option in the share menu. The original edit was 1080 24p.
I then imported the m2v and AC3 files from that DVD export into Encore CS6, instructing it to do no transcoding. I setup my menus (editing one of the included themes to my liking), and did my export. Upon playback, I found that my menus are incredibly jagged, due mainly to aliasing I'm sure. I managed to get the text to a semi-acceptable state, but the hover icons for the menu options are still stair-stepping badly. My personal thought is that the footage itself is also of poor quality, even for a DVD (it looks fine in the raw m2v files and in the 1080 render).
Is there any way to get a clean menu system devoid of all these jagged edges? I've adjusted the aspect ratio on the menu files for widescreen, I've tried various fonts, etc.
Thanks,
Devon
