Newbie Question: Why does my text keep shaking?

[Barend Onneweer]

What you are seeing is the on-the-fly low quality ‘pixel-aspect ratio correction’ in AE. You’re using non-square pixels and AE is stretching the picture in realtime to it’s intended aspect ratio. But AE’s realtime PAR-correction defaults to a low quality scaling that results in the nasty anti-aliasing jitter that you’re seeing.

Turn off PAR correction to double-check this is the case (button in the bottom of your Comp Viewer).
