Importing/Exporting LiveType Files in Final Cut Pro HELP ASAP!!!!

You've made sure your fields are set to none in both apps?

What are the exact sequence settings in FCP and what are the exact project properties in LT?

Don't bother rendering a movie out of LiveType, simply save the project file and import it into FCP.
LiveType outputs in the Animation codec only, so you will always have to render. Using the project file has another advantage -right clicking and choosing "Open in Editor" will drop you back into LiveType where you can quickly make adjustments, save and return to FCP with the changes in place.

To set project properties, you can use the Place Background Movie function in LiveType. Drop a short clip in and it will automatically adjust the properties to match. You can delete it once you have the settings. If you have Anamorphic video, you will still need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio -exact settings depend on the format, you haven't told us that yet.

Again, depending on the format, you might have to set the Anamorphic flag in FCP's Item Properties for the LiveType file.

When you view the FCP export in QuickTime Player 7 (not QuickTime Player X) make sure that the High Quality Playback preference is selected.

Typefaces in video:

Avoid using small, thin, delicate and Serif typefaces. They never work well.
A well known example of a Serif font is Times, which you should avoid at all costs in any case -it makes it look like you made the titles in MS Word. Stick with San Serifs with clear, bold strokes. Helvetica is a popular example of a San Serif.

If your titles are white, reduce the brightness to around 90%. Apply a shadow or border to distinguish them from the background. While it might sound counter productive, applying a tiny amount of blur can help too.

One more thing: Don't put your email address in the body of your post. The forums are open to anyone who wants to read them and by extension, web bots. They will harvest the address and bombard it with spam. We don't do personal email on the forums anyway -we share information amongst all users.

Why are you using this:

HDTV 720p 16:9
Pixel Aspect - 1.00

When your FCP settings are:

720x486
Aspect Ratio- CCIR 601 NTSC (40:27)
Pixel Aspect Ratio - NTSC CCIR 601 DV (720x480)

They don't match at all.
720p is the vertical resolution (number of lines) not the number of pixels in the horizontal plane.
As you are working in the DV codec, your titles will look poor. It's a limitation of the format.
Is your source footage also DV?

I believe it also DV...

Right click on one of your video clips in the Browser. Choose Item Properties > Format from the pop up menu. Post what it says there or link a screenshot.

If your footage is DV, then it is always 720 pixels wide and 480 high. Blowing that up to 720P will degrade the image, not enhance it.

OK. But what about the other material that you shot with a camera?

LiveType only outputs in the Animation codec.
If you don't need to edit the piece at all, render a movie out of LiveType and you are done.

If you need to edit it, add audio or whatever bring the project file into FCP and set it to use a ProRes Timeline:

Drop the LiveType file onto the Timeline, when it asks if you want to change setting to suit say yes. Then go to Sequence > Settings and change the Compressor type to ProRes. You will need to render this.

First, HQ is completely unnecessary for SD media.

Second, make your LT project properties exactly match your FCP sequence settings.

You really need to take this in: You are creating an HD title and putting it in an SD sequence. In doing so you are throwing away a great deal of information. Of course it looks like cr*p.
