Hey everyone,
For almost all of my projects, I print to tape directly from the timeline to a BetaSP deck with the DecklinkSP. I notice that when I render graphics and text from Motion and Livetype in the timeline, they usually lose quality once they've been rendered. Since I'm not exporting to a different file format, I'm not using the animation codecs people have suggested for better looking graphics. Is there a way to get great looking footage when I print to tape from the timeline?

Anything dropped into a DV sequence will not look as good as the original in the animation codec.

Your best bet would be to drop your sequence into an 8-bit uncompressed sequence and render. Make sure you have drives capable of playing back uncompressed 8-bit.
