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

Heres my issue...

I created a little text animation in LiveType and then decided I wanted to bring it into FCP to put together with a company video I created as the intro. I rendered/exported it from LiveType and then took the final exported video and imported it into FCP. All I can say is, I am very frustrated, because the animation looks very good exported from livetype and in FCP when playing back on the timeline, but when I export it out of FCP, it looks awful and quality/size is all messed up. I made sure to set the canvas in LiveType to match 720p and tried every exporting size under the sun on FCP from 720, 720 16:9, even SD and other weird exporting features and I can not get it too look ok.

Then I tried just going into FCP and Importing just the Livetype file WITHOUT rendering it, and I till had the same issue.

Not sure if I am still mis-matching my settings and/or canvases within both programs, but all I know is I have tried many options and still no luck. If anyone would like to see screen shots, or actually compare video footage of what I am doing when Im exporting (using a screen capture program) let me know and I can email it to you and we can go back and forth to discuss and show images and what not. I really need to get this done for a client project and would help me if I had this answer soon.

Thanks!

Tom,

I am going to try setting everything to the same. I am a video editor and usually know how to set everything up, but havent really needed to go this in depth in the settings of FCP. Wasn't sure if there was some things that need to match as far as settings, and others didnt.

Ill try it and let you know.


Here is some more Screenshots of what it looked like before I touch anything.
