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.
