Titles look bad in Premere CS5?

[Petros Kolyvas]

Is it possible your playback setting are half-resolution? (You can right click on the playback/destination window and select the playback quality.)

One way to tell is if you hold/pause on a title (and the window returns to full-res) the title becomes “right” again.

I will check tomorrow when I go back to studio, but titles always look bad. They look fine in titler window, but bad in pgm window and in exported videos. I wonder if all project has a problem and it just pops on titles, but I don’t think so. Video seems fine, just titles keyed over look jaggy, not smooth edges. Never had this problem in older versions, so I am confused. Have had cs5 a while, but have not realy used it. Also, if I create title in after effects and nest it in premiere (ala motion in fcp) that looks fine. Only titler titles look bad. One reason I took this project to premiere was to make simple titles (I hate fcp options, all basically too slow work flow) and because premiere is easier to work with crappy video type client gave me, I don’t have to convert everything to work with it.

Hi Rich,

What is the workflow – source format, export format?

If for instance you’re exporting for the web/computer viewing, but the signal is interlaced, this would mess things up. Please share more info

I am editing in DV 16:9 mode and exporting via media encoder to .mp4 for youtube posting. My final output is progressive (matches their footage) at 854×480 square pixels. It is titler. If I do titles in AE they render fine. I am only using DV setting because client sent me lousy footage, but it is HD. Smaller size lets me resize and crop their footage for proper framing of shots. Video looks fine, AE titles Look fine, PS titles look fine, only titler titles have an issue. I seem to have very limited project formats in Premiere, the only SD 16:9 project seems to be DV.

Also experiencing “sub-optimal” titling issues in Premiere Pro…Looks like’s it stuttering while trying to roll. Have tried adjusting times to address interpolation/math crunch issue, but without success. Boris titler in FCP seemed to create smoother, cleaner rolls. Any suggestions? Seems Boris makes a plug in for Premier, albeit pricy…

I do all my credit rolls in After Effects or even Motion. Very flexible. I like to do rolls where the space in middle stays the same and left column is right justified/right column is left justified, more film look, plus you can do other interesting things in the midst of the roll, so that is always my route.

My issue is with simple still titles. I wanted the speed I remember from titler, but all the titles look like crap, i just cant figure it out. In previous versions I NEVER had this issue. I just feel like there is a setting I am missing. I generally don’t like Boris products. I just never get the interfaces.
