My thought was to create a very wide graphic of the timeline and chroma key it into the video, and apply motion to scroll it from right to left. The biggest problem I'm having right now is that the text on the timeline is fuzzy and unreadable. The graphic is 8000 pixels wide to accomodate the length of the timeline (including some lead-in and trailing space for it to scroll on and off the screen). I've tried it in PNG & BMP formats.
I'm fairly new to this, although I've done other chroma keying with larger text graphics and it's worked fine. Is there a trick to make the graphics sharper, another approach I can use, or should I scrap the concept altoghether?
Thanks in advance for your input.
