    Okay,
    so I am creating a 2k end credit crawl in after effects, to be filmed out for a feature. I am on the final version, but 1 of the notes I got back from the client, is that the crawl has a flicker/strobe to it. All text layers are parented to the 1st layer, which has 2 key frames animating the text across screen. I already applied an expression to the positional keyframes on the animated layer [Math.round(position[0]),Math.round(position[1])] so that there are no positional values with decimals, only whole numbers. Can anybody give me anymore tips to make the crawl look correct? Or is the expression the only thing I have to do?

    I have to render at 3:00 in order to get this out the door in time. Any advice?

    how fast is the credit roll?

    if the move is too great between frames then the roll will seem kind of jerky or strobe-like regardless of restricting to whole pixel movement.

    try doubling the credit roll duration and see it still seems strobe-like.

    So I guess my last question, since the client has only seen the version before the expression was applied; Am I good to go with applying the expression (which I only did today) and having text scroll for a 9 second duration?
