Font quality in video render problem (bad aliasing)
Please look at this screen grab of a video I just rendered:
https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/wp...9/04/fonts.jpg In the video processor I tried font="Adwaita" and font="Arial"; (with total height 0.0.78) but I am getting awful aliasing, check out the '/' in 'video/60fps'... it's a legoland nightmare! - Are some fonts going to work better than others, maybe I need to choose a different type of font? - Can i use different sized fonts and bypass the 'text height', could i get around the aliasing that way? - Is Reaper using a recent version of freetype, are the settings changeable anywhere in the config? Cheers!

https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/wp...4/awesome2.png and the settings: https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/wp...gs-awesome.png but now I have a new problem... how can I position the text on a resized image with the background alpha effect? I need to be able to move the background to the text independently so it fits onto the robot. Ideally a snap facility is needed... then I could completely replace Camtasia I am in fact replacing Camtasia anyway as I formatted my last Windows PC last year, so Reaper is going to do it one way or another. I worked out how to record the screencast with FFMPEG today in fantastic quality with: ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 128 -f x11grab -video_size 1920x1080 -framerate 30 -i "$DISPLAY" -thread_queue_size 128 -f alsa -ac 1 -i default -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -c:a copy screen-cast.mkv

I have some Nathan For You episodes I haven't watched and it was the first thing I clicked on as a test video. Love the show...
Try the reverse order for those 2 video processors on the track which is the "overlay" (the smaller video with the robot). Text overlay first, image overlay second. Does that do what you want? When I do that, the text overlay is part of the "overlay image" (video) and follows its position/size. |

The overlay image is the robot with the video effects on, it is track 1.
If I have text overlay first and then re-sized video overlay then the text fits into the video BUT I get the aliasing. If the image overlay comes first, then the text, the aliasing is gone BUT i can't fit the text into the resized image easily, especially with the background alpha effect. I think Reaper is trying to do the right thing when the text overlay comes first, but not doing a good job on the text resizing. Here is what I am saying demonstrated: https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/wp.../good-text.png https://www.learndigitalaudio.com/wp...4/bad-text.png mmmm.... I think there is a solution somehow now I have seen perfect text is possible! Thanks for your help in this matter

I think I understand what you mean now.
If your "overlay video" (the smaller of the two videos) has the text overlay on it specifically, if you resize that "overlay video" the text looks bad. Turn the "filter" parameter to "1" (on) for the video processor that's handling the "overlay video" via the image overlay preset. If you resize the video larger the text will look blurry, but if you resize the video smaller it'll look fine. I assume you would only be resizing that "overlay video" smaller anyway? |

I have a feeling I am going to have a million questions as I get into producing 2 x Udemy courses over the next month or so in Reaper on Linux. I will do more experimenting before I pummel this forum with more questions. The Reaper Blog guy seems to have a wealth of knowledge on video production in his videos.
