Under Media Generators find the text presets. Look for the one that is white "sample text" on a checkerboard background. Drag this up to the timeline on a track above the video, as in text on track 1 or 2, and video on track 2 or 3. When you drop it there a window will pop open that lets you edit the text.

I just used this for the first time tonight for credits (i'd been making the graphics in Photoshop, but it's so tedious to edit and import, want the flexibility to just do the credits in Vegas, edit at will, copy to new project, etc), but the text (Arial bold and Arial regular in this case) seem so blurry compared to creating them in Photoshop.

Is there a trick to getting clean, non-blurry text using this feature?

One little trick that a lot of people like is to set the resolution of the text/credit event to twice the frame size of your project. If your project is 720x480 then set the text event to 1440x960. If your project is 1920x1080 then try 3840x2160.

Another thought... does it look blurry only in preview? In other words, does it also look blurry in the final rendered output?
