    I set some type 50 point las vegas fill of 150R 0G 0B, with a 1 pixel stroke of 255R 0G 0B. I tried this as a Premiere title file, and also as a photoshop psd.

    The font looks fine in the Premiere Titler and in photoshop, but once I place it on the timeline, does not look so good. I have similar type from AE, which looks bad on timeline, but good when rendered.

    The title is overlaying some DV footage which is lower fields first. I tried rendering to both no fields and lower fields first, but the finished .avi (tried both DV and no DV) file is soft and stairstepped on the type.

    I also tried using adobe media encoder and chose mpg-2 DVD which I believe is what I should be using if going to DV anyhow.

    Can someone please set me straight on fields, DV & compression formats and why my type looks bad?

    Like Photoshop, Premiere’s program window will distort graphics when the Zoom is set to anything other than 100%.

    Try using a color other than red. Red type can cause distortion.
