Why the rendered film shows different than....

[Mylenium]

Why the rendered film shows different than seen on monitor for preview in adobe preimere pro? I am getting very frustrated with it. When I place some graphics in it and when clip is rendered and review it in avi or quicktime however graphics are displaced and different than I made in monitor. For instance, when I add title to introduction in center of clip however after rendered, it moved to left little a bit. Why is that? I even used safe magrine and use square 1.0 and still have the same plm!

Maybe because you are previewing things on a cheap homebrew TV set instead of a calibrated A-class monitor? Really, it is wrong to believe that every TV is the same and there is no guarantee that your video will look the same. Many TVs crop the visible area quite heavily, thus skewing the results. You can only check this on pro monitors using underscan.

I also get the impression that your workflow is somehow crooked. SD-Video (PAL, NTSC) is always non-square in the end, the square pixel aspects are only a trick to work distortion free e.g. while compositing. It really seems that you are screwing things either when working with your footage in AE or when rendering/ importing it back to Premiere. This will also influence the placement of your title because either pixels are cropped or squeezed.

I've just experienced someting very similar..been working with after effects for some time but never had this happen. I had an animation of 5 cards and when previewed in half a rez or third rez it would not show two of the cards however when switched to full rez preview they were there..strange but this workaround worked for me on AE7. make sure you preview your text at full rez before exported.

and if you're on NTSC you shouldn't be using squared pixel aspect ratio but 0.9.

Welcome to the world of NTSC :) Having a professional monitor will help a little bit but not much. Television is pretty crappy compared to a computer monitor. Very different colors and not one is the same so slight shifts are quite common.
