A huge problem with the keyframer effect

Hello everyone,
I really need your help with a problem I have with the keyframer. Well, no matter what I do, I get very wired rendering artifact when moving object. I tried moving a custom brush and layer (And I prefer to move a layer), but the inbetweens the keyframer outputs are ruined. I dont know how exactly to explain that, it like instead of one instance of my brush, I see two, and each one is rendered in lines, with lots of lines missing, its like really really bad motion blur, but its not that. I tried to change every parameter, and read the help files, nothing works. I don't know what to do...

Please help me if you know a solution,
Thanks...

You should check a correct workflow first.

1. Did you define the correct souce - a named layer, or the recent custom brush?
2. Did you select an empty layer before applying the keyframer?
3. Do you work in fielded mode instead of progressive?

Wow, that was the problem. I switched to progressive and it works. Huge thanks to you, I really really appreciate it.
Why is it happening?

It happens because you selected it, somehow, accidentially. Check your project preferences at the next start of TVP.

No, I mean why is it affecting the keyframer? The fielded mode comes default in the PAL preset. I didn't know it has any effect on the computer. I always thought it is only relevant to TVs.

Thanks

Progressive: You're drawing 25 frames per second, and these 25 frames are shown.
Fielded: Each of the 25 frame has 2 Fields, each of them containing half the number of lines (one odd, one even numbers). You're effectively drawing 50 frames per second now, which is what the keyframer does.
