This is a common question and there are several answers:
First, the Final Cut Pro Canvas usually shows titles and graphics more pixelated and lower quality than the actual quality. Render a title and play it on a real monitor - or render and export a 10 frame test to disk and view to see the true picture.
Read these articles on monitoring: http://www.dvcreators.net/tag/monitoring/ for more info.
If you are rendering to the DV codec, you will see an instant drop in quality. But don’t worry, as long as you export to a lossless codec your final project will look great.
In 1998, I remember hearing about a new editing program called “Key Grip”, written by Randy Ubillos, the creator of Adobe Premiere. It looked like a nice blend of Avid/Premiere-style non-linear editing and After Effects-style keyframing, two programs I had picked up in their 1.0 versions and used for tons of projects.
At NAB 1998, I was ushered to an underground room at NAB, where Randy was demoing the program on Mac and Windows, since renamed “Final Cut”. I met Randy and some of the development team.
In February of 1999, my …

This innovative research into using high resolution photos in conjunction with lower quality video leads to some very interesting possibilities… the depth mapping conjures visions of adjustable depth-of-field in post, for example.
Check out the video examples:
The work presents a system for automatically producing a wide variety of video enhancements and visual effects. Unlike traditional visual effects software (e.g., After Effects, Shake, Boujou, etc), the system is completely …

Ever since the release of our DV Enlightenment lighting course, people are always asking us, “How did you make those awesome light rays on your titles?”
In that case, we used an excellent plugin for After Effects called Shine. Shine worked for a bit in Final Cut Pro years back, but then Apple changed the plugin API, and Shine no longer worked in Final Cut. (It works now, however!)
I’ve always liked the super-dramatic light rays effect, but the light rays filters in Motion and Final Cut Pro take too long to render… and frankly, …

When you’re EDITING, you can make good decisions just watching the Canvas Window on your laptop.
But for color grading, it’s critically important to watch your show on a monitor that’s displaying an accurate image. Monitoring is important because all your color grading work is going to be off if the monitor you’re watching while you work is not telling the truth.
Think of all the ways viewers might watch your project. If you’re delivering on DVD, your show might be watched on plasma or LCD TVs, projectors, or older CRT TVs - but they also might be watching the DVD on …
