Can’t get rid of title flicker
I’m using PPro, and I have text flying in and opening up horizontally and vertically slowly as it moves across the screen. I realize this is a disaster for interlacing, but I figured I’d give it a try and eliminate it with the field options. I was wrong.
I created the titles in Photoshop (de-interlaced within), imported it as a layered sequence, used the “flicker removal”, and “always de-interlace” field options, de-interlaced every layer in Photoshop, and even created the same effect in AE, using the de-interlace filter, but I still get the text crawling across the screen. What am I missing? Is it just not possible to get clean text slowly moving across the screen?
Thanks to all who have been there before me.

The deinterlace effect in PhotoShop is to process material that has been originated in interlaced format. A new title initiated in PhotoShop is not affected by this effect since it is not interlaced to start with.
In Premiere, are you trying to generate video for TV or movies for computer/web replay?
De interlaced is the option for web/computer replay, but not for TV.
If for TV, then pick a standard DV preset for your project and do not fiddle with field order or interlacing for individual clips or titles except in unusual circumstances (crawling titles do not qualify as unusual).
One cause of flicker is a fancy font with too many narrow lines.
Another is using pure black/white in PhotoShop when running an NTSC project in Premiere. Stick to NTSC safe colours (look them up in the Premiere on-line help).
If the above doesn’t seem to apply in your case, best post more detail of your project settings and file formats (eg frame size).

Kent,
Can you post a screenshot of what you are experiencing. As David mentioned above, it could be a variety of things, but I am guessing that this problem is being caused due to inadequate fonts. There is an excellent article on this site on what type of fonts or graphics to use for video.
