Why are my side bars blurry?

I make my videos with iMovie. I do some of the effects editing with Adobe After Effects, but I don't use it a lot, because the files it creates are too large. (50 GB for ten minutes?!?)

I use iMovie's 'Picture-In-Picture' feature to add my sidebars. I've tried changing the image sizes to various options (larger and smaller), but no matter what, I can't seem to get it right. If it looks good on iPad, it's blurry on phone, if it looks good on phone, it's blurry on iPad, computer, etc... It's mostly just the font that gets screwed up.

I see plenty of other people whose sidebars are perfect no matter what.

I'm completely self-taught. When I want to learn how to do something, I Google it, and I figure it out, but with this, I'm at a loss.

If you want to see my videos they're all on this page.

Can someone please tell me the secret? I'm running Appear gear (obviously), so I really need to know how to do this on a Mac.

Thanks.

I've been using .png files. I believe I tried .jpg once, but it wasn't compatible.

Is is there a different file type that I should be using?

I've tried multiple colors, and I have even overlaid my words with the same words, in black outline, to help them stand out.
