Try presets

• With text layer selected
• From Effects and Presets panel
• Animation Presets – Text
• Choose a preset and drag onto your text layer

• Avoid sharp color transitions

• Avoid thin horizontal elements

• When animating text to move vertically—for scrolling credits, for example—move the text vertically at a rate in pixels per second that is an even multiple of the field rate for the interlaced video format. This prevents a kind of twitter that can come from the text movement being out of phase with the scan lines. For NTSC, good values include 0, 119.88, and 239.76 pixels per second

• Apply the Autoscroll - Vertical animation preset in the Behaviors category to quickly create a vertical text crawl.

• Fortunately, many problems with text in video and compressed movie formats can be solved with one simple technique: Apply Fast Blur to the text layer, with a Blurriness setting between 1 and 2. A slight blur can soften color transitions and cause thin horizontal elements to expand.
