@Charbel Thanks for the behind the scenes video, it was very informative. You put a lot of effort into both videos, they look great.

I hope there are some people here who know premiere well. Whenever, I add text to my videos and render them, the text never looks sharp. I use Premiere Pro CC 2015. I usually have my resolution set to 1920x1080, rendered in H.264 with a high bit rate, but the text never looks as sharp as it did when I used Sony Vegas Pro 13.0. I have used other render settings, and tried many different fonts, but it never looks crisp. Could it have something to do with the text settings or anti-aliasing? Oh, and yes I have googled it, but I can't seem to find anything. 

I have used Premiere for quite some time but I have never been experiencing the same problem so it's not easy to help you. One thing I can think of is the sequence settings. Is your resolution set to 1920x1080 in the sequence settings as well? If not, that might be the problem.

I am quite a novice at this and have very little equipment for filming my Nexus 6 Phone that takes nice pics and videos for filming and a few desk lamps. (I want to spend my money on LEGO) I have found that my shots taken inside I can never get enough light into them for them to look good. I end up shooting them in my tiny yard, this makes my shots very limited. I found that shooting them in the afternoon around 1 - 2 pm allows the light to be the most bright and not overly shadowy! 

 

I have forchenetly just gotten Adobe Premere / After Affects So I have started to edit with those

DaVinci resolve doesnt work on my computer. Any other easy to use free editors?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have my sequence  set at 1080p, so I wonder if it may have something to do with anti-aliasing. Though, maybe there is nothing wrong with the text, and its just me...

If the issue is with it not finding any panels then I think I know how to fix your problem. When you open the DaVinci Resolve installer, you can select what to install, make sure install everything you don't already have installed.

I use Sony Vegas Pro myself. I'm sure there are better alternatives but I'm familiar with the interface now 

 

Here is a little slideshow I made just now. I don't have a 4K camera so video tends to look grainy and dull, that's why I prefer slideshows for now.
