As you recommended, I saved an uncompressed AVI then used Windows Media Encoder to generate the .WMV video. Worked great. Thanks Vince!
Maybe one day Adobe will figure out how to encode WMVs properly…

Don’t worry about taking over the thread, Ron. Any input is appreciated.
I’m saving my WMVs at 30 frames per second – the same as the raw video footage.
In PhotoShop I pasted the credits text into a very tall GIF (640 x 2000 pixels), then in APP set it to move verticaly over a 20 second span. Once again the AVIs & MOV I created played back fine, but in the WMV that vertical movement was jerky. The other video segments in the WMV playey back smoothly.
I tried saving an uncompressed AVI but one of the transitions was corrupted. That’s probably solvable but my next attempt at a solution is to recreate the rolling credits in my 3D animation program & save that as an uncompressed AVI, which I’ll import into APP. I’ve had very good luck doing this.

I give up!
When I export an AVI, MPG or MOV the credits roll smoothly but when I export a WMV they roll erratically. I’ve tried fiddling with all the settings, without success.
I need a WMV with rolling credits. I’ll just create them with another program and import them into APP.
Maybe one day Adobe will fix this bug.

I don’t know if this is a clue but the problem seems to be caused (or at least made worse) by blank lines between the 4 or 5 groups of text on my credits roll.

Saving as an AVI instead of a WMV solved the problem, but the file size is 70Mb vs 10Mb for the WMV. I need to keep the file size down.
I’m experimenting with “Ease-In, Ease-Out & Pre-roll, but so far all it seems to do is change the timing of the title roll jerks.

What confused me was the other QuickTime codecs played back fine, but not DV-NTSC. Until I took Vincent’s advice & changed the player’s settings.

Wow… that fixed it. Thanks, Vincent!
I assumed the problem was with Premiere, not a simple setting in the QuickTime player.
I suppose there are better codecs for animation, but this is for a contest and the rules require QuickTime DV-NTSC. I guess that makes it easier for them to produce a compilation DVD from all the entries.
