That started as a budget piece back in 2007. Not very long at all. Maybe 2 days for the full package of backgrounds, lower 3rds, and titles for 6-7 videos. But the titles were all the same, just different artists. It's really just some LiveType, Digi | | | | |

I would apply a curve to the outline layer to make the black and whites as pure as possible (adding contrast basically) then precomp it. I would change the blending mode to darken or multiply on the precomp and that will drop out the white, leaving t | | | | |

Yes you are correct:
Shutter speed on standard film is around 72hz.
24p and a shutter speed of 1/24 looks like crap! I too loath shutter flicker...
Personally I like 24p and 1/96... That make me happy.

Well, the main thing they did to contribute to the "look" of it was shoot all the original footage with a gawd-awful 70's-era six-point star filter on the lens. That's what caused almost all of the flares.

It's most likely Premiere. What version do you have? And what is your playback quality set to? It may be the Mercury Engine doing something funky.
Actually, it may be worth skipping this troubleshooting. Grab Avid's codec pack http://avid.force.co | | | | |

There is no way around it that I've found. AVC and H.264 are interframe codecs, your computer still needs to decode the frames around the frame you're looking at and, when you're scrubbing, that causes some lag in processing.
