I have been working with FinalCut Express now for a few months. I have just begun to work with (text) titles. I am noticing that the Titles I create look great when viewed on a TV but look poorly when viewed on a computer display. For example if I typed “The Big Show” in Helvetica it looks very jagged (not aliased) when viewed on a computer display. Now I know that a TV uses non square pixels, and a computer display does. My question is if I was to create all my titles in photoshop and import them in to FinalCut how do I get them to look like they appear in photoshop, Sharp, Crisp, etc. I want to be able to create Titles that look good both on a TV and in Quicktime viewed on a computer Display.

--Thanks--
