Crawl Mesage rendering
I created my first crawl message in Premiere Pro 2.0. Then rendered to an MPG2 for use in our Digital signage playbacks. The crawl looked terrible. Hard to explain exactly how it looked. So I attempted to render as an AVI. Same problem. I ended up creating my crawl in AE and finally rendering with my Sony Vegas Video. Is there a better rendering codec available for Premiere Pro? Or is there some work around trick?

Without a bit more explain, we cant give you much help… font/font size/color?? Backgound color? Letters fuzzy, jerky??
The titler works well for most folks…do you have a 3rd party accelerator card? -
Fuzzy, horizontal lines missing, font size was 38 white with small black drop shadow over live video. Video looked fine as it usually does. Graphic looked clean before rendering. No third party items involved. As I said earlier the same font rendered as an AVI from After Effects looked very clean, then I rendered to mpg with Vegas Video. It is clean.
I attempted to render from Premiere Pro to both AVI and to MPG2 neither worked. I am trying to learn Premiere Pro to use it more, but so far I haven;t had a lot of luck. I have a lot of friends that swear by it, why can I not get clean renders. I currently am using it for digitizing into my computer then using other progreams to edit etc, then back to Premiere pro to transfer to Beta when needed. transfers to tape are clean, why can I not get a digital render to be as clean. It has to be something really simple.

I cant duplicate your concern; Are you in a DV-NTSC Standard project? Does the title preview to your external TV ok?
I rendered a short Mpeg 2 file (7 mbps CBR, lower field first, Quality setting=3) using Premiere’s Encoder, take a look at it;

Hey Charlie,
To be honest, I find After Effect almost always renders better on text and graphics than Premiere, and it should after all, that’s what it was buit to do.
I haven’t experienced the particular issue you are having, but if you have the production suite, I would definitely stick to AE or Photoshop for anything text or graphics; it may take a little longer, but you’ll probably end up saving time.

Thank you Mike, that is a little soft which was one of my concerns. That wasn;t missing lines, but not as clean as I can get from AE. I think I will take Vincents suggestion and keep doing my graphics in AE for Crawls.
Thank you both for your help.
Charlie
