Jerky text fix ?

Is there a way to smooth out the jerky look of text wiping across the screen?? Project is 1920 x 1080 at 24 fps.

You could try rendering your captions in Motion with motion blur turned on (note that the shutter angle usually defaults to 360°, which you might want to check). Export as ProRes 4444 with transparency and composite over your edit in FCPX as before.

However, fast horizontal movements are always going to look a bit jerky in 24p footage. The only real solutions are higher frame rates and/or slower movements.
