Fuzzy titles! Can't Post

When titles are outputted to VHS they are horribly fuzzy: does this happy when transferring to S-VHS/similar formats too?

Are you using the standard titler, or the Title Effects package (the current version of TFX degrades most fonts on most effects). If the standard titler, then you might wish to adjust your titling properties. 98% of the time, a solid white font, solid black border, and 50% alpha shadow looks the best over video. If you do not have a border, or use alpha on the border, or use other color borders, you'll probably get fuzzy looks. Any intense color will appear fuzzy on VHS tape (as well as SVHS, too -- 40 lines of color resolution). It's the same way with any type of graphics on VHS. 'Tis the nature of the beast.
