horizontal movement leads to lot's o' blur

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I am putting together a video with several instances of titles (created in AE) that scroll horizontally across the screen. When rendered as a wmv (for ultimate use in a powerpoint), the "blur" or vertical jaggedness on the letter edges makes the words impossible to read.

Any help with render settings?

Thanks.

Are the AE titles interlaced?
When doing a WMV render in Vegas deinterlacing will be forced. I think if your AE stuff is interlaced this is the cause for the blur.
You might try setting the deinterlace method in Vegas project properties to "Interpolate fields".

I will give that a try. Thanks.

Is there a recommendation on interlacing when rendering the AE file that could help as well?

When objects move quickly and are recorded by video or film at the low frame rates used they have to have motion blur other wise they become juddery. I've got exactly this problemo with AE at the moment. Client want's a spinning cutout earth at some rediculous speed and the MB in AE don't work with the CC Cylinder FX, major PIA.

Anyways to make interlace out of AE (which I'm yet to try) I believe the trick is to double the frame rate. Vegas will convert the frames to fields and produce perfect interlaced video. Say you have a 50i project in Vegas, make your AE comp 50fps.
