Exported text looks wrong in Apple Motion

[Diego Llamazares]

Hi All,

I exported my first motion project from Pixelmator from an SVG file which contains a vector logo.

When I opened the project in Motion I noticed the logo looks bad. The path has been altered in the process and it looks like the logo has a faux bold look to it. The trademark mark is not bold when I was using a thin typeface and the rest of the logo looks totally wrong.

I wonder if there's something I can do on my end to get it to look right because I can't really start animating a logo that looks wrong.

I have attached a comparison of two letter e's of the logo with a difference blending mode in photoshop to showcase the difference in width between the two vector paths ( in motion vs Pixelmator )

Thanks in advance for the help!

I tried the option of exporting a psd file optimised for Final Cut Pro and imported as a layered file into motion. I'm happy to report this option looks good and I can definitely work with this file.

Nevermind, that PSD is all rastered output, I got confused by the names of the layers ( path 1 etc...) .

I have found that the problem is related to Motion's shape aliasing. If you select Render / Custom quality and disable Shape Aliasing vectors don't look like there is an extra outline around them as I previously reported. Instead, vector shapes look very rough like pixelated...
