Adobe titling smooth scrolling in PAL
I have been trying to get smoother horizontal text crawl titling for a project on a PAL DV Widescreen timeline. I have tried a range of things but seem to be able to get a silkier, smoother text crawl on an NTSC timeline, also DV Widescreen.
I am guessing that it has to do with the frame rate but need to have a firm answer to give someone who is questioning the slight shudder as the text crawls leftwards.
I have read the post about reducing opacity, reducing contrast to legal video levels, and blurring the text, but my issue seems to be timing. I note that Adobe titler doesn’t let me choose an exact speed like some other titlers apparently do. I’ve been trying to test some others, but that is still a work in progress. All input is welcome.
I need to be able to edit titles in Premiere, it would slow down workflow too much to go to After Effects I think. Dynamic link between PrPro and AE gives us headaches for some reason.
Thank you!

Hi Sean,
No clear answer here, depends on text size and speed. The basic rule is to use even multiple of 50 for PAL or even multiple of 60 for NTSC for scrolling time from top to bottom.

Hello Vince,
Am I missing something then? Because I cannot find any controls that set the speed of the crawl. Are you suggesting that the length of the crawl should be an integer in seconds? I have tried that and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I have a feeling that if I tried adjusting the timing length frame by frame and rendered it out repeatedly, I would probably find a ‘smoothest’ point, but this project has way too many titles to do that with each one. There has to be a more exact science to this.

BTW, it is a horizontal crawl, but would have similar properties to the roll.

That would be the time it take to go from one end to the other (in seconds).
Some problem can also come up if you export to mpeg formats because of incomplete frame compression. If you are exporting to H.264, try an uncompressed export first, then reimport and export to the format you need.
