August 19, 2005 at 7:21 pmIf the quality is set to high, it is anti-aliased.
But I always add a Gaussian Blur of 0.25 – 0.75 px. to every text-layer
This gets rid of the movement-flicker.And also an adjustment-layer on top of the comp with a vertical blur to kill detail-flickering.
Of course don’t use a font with too much detail like fine serifs or scripts.

August 20, 2005 at 1:17 pmThe real solution is to put on a field option when rendering. Normally there is “no field”. But try to choose “Low field first” and then render with it. Let me know the result.

Even with Field rendering, you can still get that slight creeping anti-aliasing error if you don’t blur slightly. Especially when you’re moving text vertically.
You do get rid of jittery or blocky horizontal motion with field-rendering though.
Having Motion-Blur on helps too.
