I'm testing CS6's new video features. One issue I found is that when I add panning to text, it does not pan smoothly. It seems like the kerning is adjusted slightly for each frame and it looks pretty bad. I could fix the problem somewhat by rasterizing the text, but then I lose the ability to make changes to the actual text.

Is there a better option for making text pan smoothly in CS6 videos?

I believe this has a great deal to do with your GPU. – Scott Jan 14 at 19:06
It is possible you are seeing several problems at once: 1) vsync not enabled might give a ripple/shimmer effect; 2) the vectors are calculated and then rounded (quantized) to integer values for display on a pixel grid (the screen). Normally this is not too much of a problem, but in motion you may be seeing the effect of 24/48/60 rounding errors per second; 3) you may be seeing something along the lines of a telecine effect from the framerate not matching the monitor refresh. A potential solution for 2) is try a higher pixel count (2x) and render down for output. – horatio Jan 16 at 16:06
Video? My main gripe was PhotoShop has always been that it tries to do too much for too many people. This seems to support that theory. ;) – DA01 Jan 16 at 17:27
